Hi Gigi1958, I could write a book about online dating lol. There is so much weirdness going on, men wanting carers, there are liars, cheats, men just wanting sex, men sending dick picks... no idea what that's all about! Young men pretending to be older and older trying to be younger! Men wanting money. I've heard it all.... I treat the whole thing as a game.... i called it 'spot the normal one', have managed a few dates where we just didn't click but have recently met someone and at last think I've met my match! Only taken several years... apparently god loves a trier!!! Best wishes.

After 15+ years happily single l was convinced l didn't want a permanent attachment. Then l met my now husband. Entirely amazing. Life winds an interesting path.

Yep couldn’t have put it better I m content without
Never tried internet dating but the old fashioned type where you meet people one way or another
I ve had a much more peaceful life since going it alone

So yesterday I went ahead and deleted my profile on Match.com not because I met someone but because I realized at 65 I kept meeting men that looked like they needed a nurse not a date. And suddenly I realized that since my divorce I've never had a man take care of me or for that matter anybody. And suddenly I felt liberated and a bit selfish also but I simply don't want to become a caregiver again. My life is full I have children, family, friends, financially independent and my good health. Although I did have breast cancer last year but that seems to be in my rear view mirror and I have been celebrating my clear mammogram since October.

It feels pretty good to just be done with it, has anyone else experienced this?
