I wish you luck. I've still not paid any fees yet, but if someone nearer of interest were to log in, I may be tempted. Suppose up there in Suffolk life pretty much as congenial as Devon, where I live. Just want someone who cares enough, to chat with, really. Nighty nite Sue. Gordon down in Devon.

I’m using the dating site as an 80 senior and would dearly love to meet a lonely lady. But where are they. Still no replies. It’s cheaper to live together platonically these days.

I've looked at the dating site - it's too expensive, and creates in me my dislike of capitalism (by which I mean the American way). Sue I'd like to chat to you - so I'll find a way that doesn't have me inundated.

Don't give up! This dating thing is fraught with problems. So many people want 'perfect' and by the time any of us reach 50 plus what really are the chances of that?! The written statement is so easily misunderstood. Very easy not to see ourselves as others see us.
I have seen myself enough times in the mirror to know that at 69 my best chances , if any, will be helped by heavy shadow and poor vision.
What I wanted to say was that in 2001 I embarked on the dating scene. It was simpler then, there was a locally run agency.... and you got a list of numbers and brief descriptions. It was up to you to call and chat and take it from there.... sounds too easy?
I must have met about 30 ladies over the months, all in public places, all genuine. Sometimes we would get on quite well, sometimes it was a straight thumbs down and back in their car from her!
I was never that blunt, but always knew if it was going to be a strained meeting. Never the same face to face, even after several phone conversations.
Did eventually have a relationship that lasted for a couple of years, but it was on and off. I found I was being changed into someone I didn't want to be, and eventually it ended.
Back on the road again and on a chat site a bit like this, (Saga) I was messaged by a lady living quite nearby, we met and we never looked back. We were always going to be together.

Two years ago, both of us with cancer, things looked bleak. But I survived... prostate. She, bowel cancer, also clear.
However, reason for this long story, as the tragic result of a simple reversal operation I am again alone as of a couple of months ago.
Far too soon to be looking for anyone else, she was my life. But sometime in the future I would want someone to love and support, to hug and to hold. Its a human nature thing.
But, older, bald, physically diminished.......... what are the chances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about your loss, Hyperbod. You will now be going through your year of "firsts" - anniversaries, birthdays, holidays etc without your beloved partner but you will come through the other side and possibly when you least expect it, there will be someone with whom you can envisage a new future together.
Your comment about heavy shadow and poor light made me smile and also your comment about being changed into someone that you didn't want to be gave me a sense of deja vu. It would be nice to think that the people on the dating websites were all genuinely looking for a partner or a nice friendship instead of a casual relationship but life doesn't seem to be like that. However there are nice people out there, as I have recently found out, and, in my opinion, if you accept each other as you are and can talk, laugh and love together then everything will be okay.
Good luck! 🙂

I’m new to doing this chat thing so please forgive my ignorance. I’m so sorry for your loss. I also know the sadness of being alone. I wish you well on your endeavors through life and searching. I wish you well.
Response from hyperbod made on 8th Jul 2019 09:56:51
Now living on my own I seem to be almost continuously on the lookout for a diversion or something to look forward to in the near future. It is a way of coping and trying to get through time when previously I hated the thought of time racing away.
So I still try to work, give the days a purpose. Its become a habit to turn the computer on at least twice a day and check the emails in case there has been a message, something exciting that isn't lighting.com telling me about their new range of lightbulbs.
These posts seem to develop great spaces in them, sometimes weeks or months between comments and then maybe a little rush of comments. My first reply in June was to a post of March 2017! But this was a series that was relevant to me in some ways.
Somehow the threads or posts themselves are rather elusive, and although not lost are not easy to find, and only used be a very few?

I’m a 66 young woman that’s tired of being alone. I love to travel and learn about cultures, belief systems and iconography. The world is my oyster to share.

I found it very difficult to upload pics and decided to back out of it all together. I only want to find a genuine chap no game playing or exploitation but I think I’ve given up . Wishing everyone love luck and happiness xx

Dear DoyenD,
How refreshing to read your post & having been widowed for 12 years now, I understand you asking about Christmas breaks. I hope you found something suitable.
I used to love Christmas & enjoyed hosting Christmas Day with the family. Grandchildren added to the fun & excitement. Since losing my soulmate, I’ve spent Christmas with family & although I have a nice time, it’s just not special anymore.
Is it the same for you ?

Lucky escape from that moron, Sarah! I occasionally look at the Telegraph dating website because, as a visitor, you can put an age range, looking for male/female within so many miles of your home post code and the site will give you up to one hundred profiles to look at. It never ceases to amaze me at the number of men who want to meet a slim, pretty woman 20 years, or more, younger than themselves and judging by their photos they are bald, wrinkly and obviously carrying more than just a few extra pounds! There are also the odd bods who don't post a photo but who will only look at female profiles which have got one. And don't get me going about some of their photos !!! 🙂 I'm sure that a lot of them are perfectly nice men who don't do themselves justice either with their photos or the précis they write about themselves and their wishes but there are "help" notes on most sites with advice about setting up a profile.

You have perfectly summed up my thoughts about many men on these sites. I'm on the Classic FM site- which is part of many other sites- and I have met some nice chaps- but I get fed up with younger men thinking because I'm a 53 year old widow, I must be desperate for their attentions! And so many men put that they would like children, even though they are 60 or older- maybe they are hoping for a young woman desperate to have kids?!

Hi all, I am 59, divorced and wondering about life. I have a few medical issues that prevent me from socializing much. I wonder if I am someone who can date because of that and also wondering why its so important for males to have intimacy first and then maybe a relationship. I am not a prude, can certainly partake and enjoy. I just the relationship based on, trust, understanding... etc. Thanks for listening!! Until next time...

I was considering it – and got as far as setting it up but bottled out before I committed to payment.....and deleted my details. I just don't think it is for me. But interested in hearing how other people have got on.
Response from Wildthing1234 made on 8th Apr 2017 15:08:46
Aw that's a shame......but nothing ventured nothing gained I suppose. I am just a scaredy cat and daren't risk it. I may in the future, but need to build my courage up first. Well done on giving it a try.
Response from marmitegranny made on 21st Oct 2017 19:32:24
Recently divorced and relocated, I took the plunge and joined a dating site. I met up with a couple of chaps but really its an unnatural way to try to meet someone and I'm not sure it did anything for my self-esteem. I despair. I have friends and family and an active life during the day but I am still lonely. I am personable, fun to be with, active, young at heart. I thought it would be easy to find someone but I guess I was too optimistic.
Response from CaroleAH made on 21st Oct 2017 23:37:51
I think you are right, Marmitegranny. Dating websites are an unrealistic way of meeting prospective partners because you can list all your preferences and dislikes etc but without that initial spark from eye contact and conversation it is difficult to pursue a relationship. Profiles might seem perfect matches on paper but it is only human nature to exaggerate our good points and play down, or in most cases, not even mention the bad ones. Like you, I'm busy during the day but would occasionally appreciate some company in the evening to chat over a meal, or discuss a TV programme or film but as a friend once said "it is better to be alone, than wish that you were" and I have to agree! 🙂 Que sera, sera!
