online when you're 60
| Sun, 08-05-2012 - 8:50pm |
I put my profile on Match about two weeks ago and got a 3-mt. membership and put 59 on my profile even though I'm 60, so I wasn't sure if I would get any response. Things have kind of slowed up, and I'm just wondering if it's a lost cause. I do have one I'm supposed to meet later this week. Should I also join a free site, too, or start hangin the bar scene? I really can't join any clubs right now, because of work and finances, little free time. That seems to go hand in hand with being single. I decided not to do Match's Stir event happy hr., because I think everyone will be younger. They will have more of these in the future. Maybe I should just get a cat.

Hi there,
Glad to see some of the old OLD crowd here, posting excellent thoughts and advice. I agree with it all.
OLD isn't easy, at least, not usually. Since it's a numbers game, you've got to plug at getting your numbers up, emailing, responding, working the room.
Taking a break now myself, but when i make a comeback, I might take it slow. Not like the old days when I had multiple phone calls in one day and multiple dates in a week. (OK, not EVERY week.) I liked those balls in the air and several pots on the back burner. (I never exaggerate.)
Make sure you have F-U-N, go dancing, wine tasting, whatever you love. Don't let the number *60* slow you down.

Seriously how do you get multiple men interested? I found it took a lot of work even to get one at a time--like after sending out many, many first emails & getting no response or the people who would contact me were so bad (no education, bad looking, menial jobs where I am a professional w/ a grad degree) I just gave it all up. I am still not getting dates but at least I'm not wasting my time on the computer--instead I'm going out & having fun w/ male & female friends.
