[Daet]

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,

Take care guys! Look after yourself 🥰

Red I decided to watch a strip session my Italian toy boy recorded for me as a Christmas gift . It’s priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣

No! Really!! How funny!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m still self isolating, but have a little help with it tonight😉😉 cannot wait!!

Enjoy it girl x

How are we all doing?

I’ve deleted everything, seemed little point keeping on in these circumstances :(. Nothing promising was happening anyway, just conversations that were dull or not going anywhere.

I feel a bit sad. By the time this is all over I’ll be 57/8 and I can’t see anyone being too interested by then. I know some of you are a bit older but I’m presuming the raw material is better to start with in your cases!

So rather ironically I’m answering my own question from my first post on this thread - yes, I am destined to die lonely!

Ooer - I’m not feeling as sorry for myself as that previous post would suggest! Just resigned.

I'm still swiping but my god it's depressing. Just saw the husband of an acquaintance on tinder and i'm 95% sure they're still together and that she doesn't know he's on there. I was almost tempted to swipe right just to give him a piece of my mind! I feel like men are just using this lockdown as a way of making women responsible for relieving them of their loneliness: I keep getting into these long boring chats with guys when we both know it isn't going anywhere and they seem to think i'm some sort of free therapist.

Hey guys! I feel really guilty as I’m having so many chats! But as we know I’m not looking for a relationship! It’s all positive and I have so much to look forward to when this virus is gone! Woo hoo! Daet please don’t give up!

Hi ladies still 2 on a go via WhatsApp. Both are love bombing me but I can’t even think about investing so just entertain myself for now . Still in contact with the toy boy . If we both survive there I’ll be enjoying his body at Amalfi coast . Here is something to look forward to 🤣

Hi. I’ve tried Bumble- not too bad- met a few nice guys for dates last year but then I joined Guardian Soulmates.... I honestly didn’t have any expectations at all and wasn’t really engaged with it- I just joined for 3 months to see how it would go.... then I was contacted by a gorgeous man. That was last August. OMG he’s wonderful. We are really happy (coronavirus notwithstanding!). I’d really recommend Guardian Soulmates but don’t expect it to deliver immediately. Give it a whirl is my advice. I’m 49 btw (4 kids). He’s 47 and widowed. It’s love, actually 😉👍❤️. Like..... bingo 😍

Daet age is irrelevant . People meet at different stages of their lives as love doesn’t discriminate

Now ladies I need your advice .i have been chatting on what’s app with guy from hinge since lock down . He is a nice enough guy but can’t get his head around lockdown and keeps complaining. He lives on his own in a house with a garden ( as me in a flat with 0 green soave with 2 small children ) Je has regular fits about not being able to go anywhere . A few days ago he told me he wants to take me for dinner in 3 weeks time when the lockdown is lifted . I said to him it’s highly doubtful that 3 weeks will see lifting the restrictions so he said definitely middle of May and I lost it completely. I asked him not to get me involved in his plans as disappointment is hard enough in this climate . He is never happy always working or moaning am i being unfair ?

Hiya ojojoj1, these are funny times, people aren’t think straight, some aren’t dealing with it very well. Let him have his rant, don’t write him off yet. He might be totally different when this awful situation is over, decide the.

Red thanks for that . I’ll message him and see how it goes

Yeah, definitely go with it. You never know but at least you gave it a shot!

Hello folks :).

oj did you message him? What happened? You say he’s nice enough so maybe give him a bit of leeway. But I personally find moany people very draining. Obviously I don’t know that he is moany but, from what you’ve written, it sounds a bit like he is. I feel a bit hypocritical writing that as I’m aware I’ve done my fair share of moaning on this thread!

I’ve come off everything. I don’t know if I’ll bother going back on ever, even though I got plenty of likes on Bumble, I found the whole process confidence sapping. Or perhaps I’ll go back with the same objective as you Red if we’re ever allowed out of our houses again!

A few years ago we had work done on the house. The builder and I got on really well, but there was nothing in it - my Dh was still alive then and the builder had a long term partner. We kept in touch periodically via text and he phoned a few times in the months after dh died.

In the last year he’s told me that he and his partner have been on the verge of splitting about six times. I must admit to getting a bit hopeful when he told me the first time. However, since then, each time he’s told me, I’ve thought “here we go again, heard it all before”. But last Monday he rang and we had a long convo. This is definitely it now and once lockdown is over they’re selling up and going their separate ways. He seems certain but I’m frightened to actually let go and believe him in case yet again it doesn’t happen. I do like him, and I think I could potentially like him very much but I’m wary of being hurt :(. Nothing much I can do other than wait and see but it’s frustrating and the highs and lows of hope/no hope are draining!

Oh wow Daet! That’s sounds promising! Don’t give up hope! 😂😂😂😂😂 go on give what I’m doing a go! It’s bloody marvellous! I’m praying for the lockdown to be over😉

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Red I love your positivity. You’re always so upbeat!

😂😂😂 well Daet we have to be! I’ve so much to look forward to when we can get together again😉 life is for living! Woo hoo ❤️

Daet , yes I have messaged him and he told me I make him insecure as I don’t want to let him in . Well I find it extremely hard to take someone seriously who tells me he really wants me without even meeting . I don’t overinvest so will keep him going until I find his moaning unbearable. The truth is I really really would like him to be normal but not holding my breath . Your builder sounds very promising though. Someone you already know and have some kind of connection with is half of the work of OLD

I've been on a few sites, and the some of the strangest men were on OkCupid.

They're all bloody strange on OKC. But, I guess that you could say the same about me

Ojojoj1, if he’s told you you make him feel insecure, tell him about his moaning! He may think twice about it! Tell him that’s why your not letting him in! What with Covid-19 he needs to be more cheery!

Red I don’t have a patience for man children just now . How is things with you ?

Yeah, I get that. Obviously for me this virus has seriously dented my meet ups! But, with the power of video chat it’s all good! I need to see them as they have bodies to die for, call it what you like, ripped, stacked, built, gym buff, sculpted! They are hot as hell! As I said I’m a fit 61 year old, these guys are 35-45, and they want me! It’s pure heaven! Long may it continue! Thanks for asking after me.
