Ohhh, I saw two nice men in Sainsbury’s car park today

Feeling a bit down about the fact that all men I see on OLD (which I have given up with) are just not of any interest to me. I don’t find any jump out and make me want to swipe right. I’m 53 btw.

I ended my marriage a few years ago. Dead marriage, sexless for many years and no connection. Really thought I could find someone with passion and chemistry. Failing miserably and feel I have left it too late 😞.

However, this afternoon, I saw two men (in a nearby market town) who I found quite nice. One when I was walking across the car park to the store entrance. He was pushing his empty trolley back and actually asked me if I’d like his trolley 😂. I said no, thank you, and offered to take it back for him. He took it himself. The second was on leaving the store. A man, roughly my age, glanced at me and our eyes held for a millisecond! Again, pretty attractive!!

Maybe I need to go to Sainsbury’s more often 😂. OLD is awful and is definitely not working for me!

I think you’re right about Tinder - it’s awful!

Certainly for men, you get hardly any likes so you end up liking every woman who you think is even remotely compatible. I can only imagine women just get inundated with likes. Hinge and Bumble seem like at least you can stand out a little bit more. Facebook is also a bit grim but at least both sides can see likes. I tended to get an awful lot of much older women liking me, which is flattering but not really what I was looking for.

I have lived in my home for 13 years Always shopped alone in Supermarkets & I don’t recall ever receiving a glance or smile from a middle aged lady, swapping trollies etc ,I often reach things on high shelves for short ladies, never been on a OLD site but maybe one day out there in the great blue yonder our eyes will meet & ignite a spark that will light a raging fire of lust. ( been reading Jilly Cooper too much). I live in hope.😉
