I married twice, to 2 nice men....the marriages simply didn't work out. My first husband fathered my 2 great kids, my second husband was their "dad" and he was a good one.
I've been single since 1981 - by choice. I have no interest in ever marrying or living with anyone ever again. Too much investment, not enough return.
That being said, I have a coupla male friends I have known for 20 years. We have been lovers, friends, companions, traveling buddies for years. They both live far enough away that to see each other, we must plan it....we usually meet halfway. We enjoy each other's company and get together for dinner, see a show, take a week-end trip, or a cruise...but, no talk of permanency. It is just fine like it is.....
Many men my age are just boring as the dickens....many never moved out of the 1950's or they are looking for a woman to "take care of them"...... I have no interest in that, fer sure.
I did, however, meet this really nice man last year on a cruise. He was a coupla years younger than me and was an entertainer on the ship. We got together in January this year on a quicky cruise and had a great time. We'll see how that works out. He is from Wales, so no problem with him just "dropping in"....HA!!!

No dating for the old one here. I finally figured out I make realllyyy poor choices so I quit all together since I got my divorce 15 years ago I had several dates right after that but not a one now for years and I am content. I have 2 really good male friends that I talk with all the time and seldom see but that's fine, they aren't looking either. I have several friends my age that seem to be desperate for dates.

I haven't in a few years...not because I don't want to, but rather I don't meet anyone in my day to day life who is either not married or attractive to me, or they attracted to me.
I'd like to have a 'companion' - someone to share movies, books, TV, laughter, worries, love of pets, care of family with...but alas, it seems not to be.
I had a deep caring relationship with someone, but they live 2,000 miles away and neither of us are in a position to move. We see each other maybe every couple years....'Same Time Next Year" kinda situation [Alan Alda movie] I was supposed to travel there this past summer and purposefully didn't because I didn't think I could stand the emotional wrench upon leaving again. Have to be realistic!
I'm a giving and loving woman, and often times don't like being 'without' that special person, yet, on the other hand value my singlehood...go figure...a real conundrum!

I don't miss the single dating scene. A modern trend is for married couples to date. My second wife and I have been married 15 years now and we still do the things we did on dates. the romance never died and the courtship still goes on. We don't consider it married dating like most do since we never stopped. That is usually people who have lost what they once had and are trying to recapture it.
The secret is don't ever stop the romance.

I haven't had a date in years. I really don't know where I would meet anyone. I tried on line dating, that was a really bad experience. The associations I belong to are mostly women or the men are married. I don't go to bars, I don't want to marry another drunk. They must be single not looking for a fling.

No. I retired from working nineteen years in a Nevada casino poker room. I sure didn't want to date any of the men I met in there. Now I don't meet anyone. I have great girlfriends and we do a lot together. I have a great time. I have been single sense I lost my husband in 1988. I wouldn't even feel comfortable out on a date.

Nope, I don't date any more. I have given up trying to find a decent man. Every one that I have met either cheats, drinks (as in alcoholic), does drugs or just wants you for one thing. Or worst yet, all the above. When I was dating or living with someone, for the most part they went out while I stayed at home (their choice not mine). I don't do bars, I don't dance, so most think that I am just a boring person. Their lose, not mine.

Padunkle change into what attainable say upon seeing an aproaching vehicle with in simple terms one headlight functioning. The reward for recognizing one change right into a kiss. Padiddle, i'm advised change into an similar element, yet in touch recognizing more suitable vehicles with burnt out headlights throughout an prolonged vacation, than your travelling spouse, and annoying of the loser the elimination of an merchandise of clothing. I honestly don't have any journey with this version of the game, I promise.

I'm married, but we do things like that too. We make 'dates' to go to lunch, take a drive, go places, etc. My husband is sweet about trying to think of places he can take me so I can get out of the house, since with my allergies there's a lot of places I can't go anymore.
