I’m sort of dipping a toe in at my advanced age! I’m 55 and the only site I’ve tried so far is Match. It’s probably a reflection of my age but I’ve found it dire - so depressing! Does anyone have any suggestions or am I destined to die lonely?! Thank you,

Hello folks :). Nice to hear from you.

ojoj I wonder if he’s going to turn out to be hard work. It’s not very attractive having someone who’s constantly needing their egos boosting. I totally get being insecure, I am myself, but it can be draining. Think you should stick with it for a bit though - if you do eventually meet, you could be pleasantly surprised.

Red what is your secret for being so positive and upbeat?! Objectively I do think I’m fairly attractive and I have had compliments but I can’t seem to accept positive attention!

NiceLegs have you got interesting stories to tell about OkCupid?!

Don’t know what to make of builder, think he might be stringing me along. On Wednesday he told me that he’d absolutely had enough with his dp and he’d told her as much. All day he was talking about the dire state of his relationship and how he didn’t want it any more. But since then it’s not been mentioned again. This is exactly how it’s been on all the previous times he’s told me they’re splitting - ie, he tells me they’re done and then nothing happens. He seemed so positive on Wednesday, and he has been texting an awful lot all week (140 texts between us today - don’t know how he gets any work done). But I feel I’m doing something wrong by continuing to engage, and I have zero desire to hurt his dp, so I think I’m going to have to stop engaging with him .

Hey Daet, I have no secret formula 😂😂😂 I’m just loving these amazing bodies and how these guys make me feel! What ever they got I’m enjoying having it! They know exactly what to say and do! Their energy and excitement is mind blowing! I can recommend it! The builder thing! ....... he’s messing with your head my friend, don’t let him, tell him to contact you when he’s left. You deserve better, to many men out there! 🌸

Daet I agree with Red the builder may be looking for a little bit of excitement in his mundane life. I would say to him that I value myself too much to wait .
The moaner sends me stupid texts as of how much he wants me so at the end of the lock down it may be a potential shag I guess .Will see . Still get an odd nude pics from my lovely Italian toyboy but not as often as he is having uni exams just now 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Yes am shameless

Redland12 · 19/04/2020 23:29

Ojojoj1, if a shag is what you want go for it! Oooooooo young flesh! Nothing like it! And Italian! Score I say. Be shameless! It’s the only way😂 Daet, what do you think you’ll do about the builder?

ojojoj1 · 22/04/2020 15:42

Red I really really like the student . Shame he is in Italy as he is extra skilled and gifted . That little thing now has lasted almost 10 months and I was to see him before Easter but obviously lock down disturbed the plans But hey we can’t have everything. I want a relationship but unwilling to settle for not suitable man so will just follow my lust for time being 🤣

Redland12 · 22/04/2020 16:13

😂😂 OMG he sounds so hot! What a feeling it gives us! Nothing like it Skilled and gifted sounds like heaven to me! I too was about to have a rendezvous with a Greek God! Bit like you then lockdown 😡😡😡we text a few times a day and he makes me melt with what he says! He’s 40! I cannot wait to get my hands on him! He only lives 20 minutes from me too!!! Sweet Jesus! 😂

Redland12 · 27/04/2020 06:19

Morning guys, any updates? Daet how are you? What’s going on with the builder? Getting a bit of cabin fever now!!

ojojoj1 · 28/04/2020 13:14

Hey Red I’m doing ok thanks . The moaner tried to make me send him the nudes - eh no I have men sending me nudes and not just distasteful dick pics 🤣🤣🤣. The guy who I slept with 2 years ago got in touch and declared love for me - I think it’s an itchy nob syndrome more than anything and he was so shit last time I don’t consider repeats . The second guy from hinge has been in touch every day .he is a good cook do use him for recipes inspirations . I like him actually but not sure if fancy him . Will see when this is over and I can ascertain the lack or presence of connection or pure lust. The student is taking his exams so not been in touch but God if I could I would clone him 🤣🤣🤣

Redland12 · 28/04/2020 13:46

Hey! Brilliant update. Why do they think we want to see their dicks! I know what one looks like! Ugh! Don’t go back to a shit shag! There’s better out there. Brilliant you have recipes from him😂😂😂 gotta fancy him gotta have some lust. If you clone the Italian I’ll have one please! 😂 keep in touch.

Redland12 · 21/05/2020 11:18

Hey guys! What’s happening? Any news to tell? Been a while now, 🌸

tracywil · 26/08/2021 13:23

i honestly can't recommend any dating sites, tried few of them and had 0 luck

KerryBer · 27/08/2021 15:01

I had a good experience with OkCupid, but maybe I'm just lucky :)
