I am new on here so hi to all. 51, widowed and relationship free for 8 years now, son and dd grown up, jobs etc. I have had no self confidence in myself for so long count myself lucky to have some close friends and family. I wish I'd discovered MN before though
I went away this we to Barcelona to visit an old friend who also recently lost her husband. Strange though it may say under the circumstances we had a wonderful time with lots of laughs as well as some tears. I blush to day this but the highlight of my weekend was being chatted up by 2 lovely charming young well by my standards Irishmen in a cafe bar we went to. No aggression, no unpleasant advances, just beautiful warmth and kindness. They weren't even fazed one bit when we told them we were widowed and one said he'd lost his father too young and life goes on. They even invited us to Cork for a weekend said they would be happy to show us around. I'm not delusional before you start worrying and have a busy life in London so may not even get in touch, but I have to say Irish men you are right up in my good books right now
