I've got my first date in 24 years tomorrow night...............

[mrmpa]

I've been single all these years & haven't had one date. I have 3 brothers who I have asked to set me up with any of their friends. They don't. I have one sister-in-law who has told me that I'm too smart. Her insinuation was that men don't like smart women. I've mostly worked with men who were attached & even though I was tempted, I don't crap where I eat.

I'm in an organization with this man, and he was just widowed 6 weeks ago. He called the other day & we're going to a concert at one of the county parks.

I will let you know how it goes.

1. Good luck! I had been single again for 30 years, then met my hubby online and we've been

married almost eight years. So, there really is someone for everyone.

Keep us posted.

4. dating at my age sucks.

62 in a couple weeks, single for the last 2 years.
dating someone who is a lot of fun, but i dont see a future w him.
will prolly keep that up until someone else comes along.

need a good bleeding heart liberal who likes chickens and other critters, and also like to pull weeds. and cook.

best of luck. he must be a decent person to reach out in a painful time. shows good emotional balance.

5. Good luck!

FWIW, I love smart women. The women I've dated have been educated and successful.

6. You already know this person, so just relax and have fun.

He's probably still dealing with the death of his spouse, but I am sure he'll enjoy the company and the opportunity to talk about something OTHER than that.

Who knows what the future will bring?

Hope you have a nice time! Will you bring a picnic--is that allowed?

[mrmpa]

11. yep, you can take food.........

however every Friday my younger brother comes over does my 86 year old mom's laundry & stays for dinner. So I will not be hungry, but I think you can bring in your own beverages. Which I might do.

It's such that you bring a chair or blanket to enjoy the festivities. The entertainment is Bachman of Bachman Turner Overdrive and Guess Who.

This will be like 1974-75 when the girl two room down the hall in the dorm blasted BTO 24/7.

12. That's usually the most fun--picnics and music, or lazing around at

the beach or a lake. At this time of year, I enjoy going to drive ins or having "movies under the stars" at parks or in the backyard.


Hope you have a wonderful time.

7. Try the online dating sites. I literally know 8 couples who met that way

Married and/or long time cohabitating.

Good luck and have fun

8. your sister-in-law is an idiot

good that you do not fish off the company pier

good luck to you!

[niyad]

9. let us know how it goes. glad you are going someplace very public for a first date.

[Ishoutandscream2]

10. You kids go out and have a good time!

[onethatcares]

13. be yourself,

and allow him to be his own self.

6 weeks is a short time so don't expect miracles.

Have fun.

14. Good Luck - I've been dating against after a decade

It's challenging.

I just turned 50 so I recognize most the people I date are probably divorcees with children and even grandchildren. I have none of those. While I appreciate someone who wants to brag about their kids/grandkids, the last thing I want to do is spend an entire evening listening to kids/grandkids stories. I know I'm 50 but I also still go to Rock Concerts, hang out at local hip events with my friends (ages 23-65) and enjoy craft beer. I also don't look 50 either.

I've had some success, found one very decent candidate but he lives out of state. But I figured you can't find the right guy if you don't go out there and go on alot of bad dates.
