Online Dating
25 Answers
I've just been listening to You and Yours on Radio 4, talking about Online Dating. One of my daughters has often said, 'Why don't you find someone, Mother', but I am too nervous of what I might find.
My standards are also very high, and I wouldn't want to be unkind to anyone who didn't reach those standards.
Any comments? I'm 74 and widowed. Living in Leicestershire.
Am I being a wimp, should I just go for it?

If you stick to your standards......and be firm and safe.....you won't regret it even if you don't meet Mr Right.
Be upfront and sound confident beforehand....even if you don't feel it.
I'd insist, nicely, on paying my share of any meal or outing....making it clear to begin with I was wanting the company and friendship.....then see where life takes you.....could be fun.....Gx

That in itself doesn't bode well, depending of course what you are looking for and i assume....companionship.
Are you satisfied with your lot........your life style....remembering that you can never recreate the life of yesteryear.
Your standards are high and that is to your credit, but not everyone's standards are the same.
If you are dissatisfied and lonely,then go for it..........but, if life is not that bad.........stick.

Helly....I'm sixty five....and in much the same position as you.....I love the life I have now......but some toe tingling never goes amiss...... ;-)
Like I say.....let it be on your terms.....but remember....there are lots of chaps out there with high standards and a bit of spark left in them......☺

gness....oh! yes.........they do exist.
helly....pity that i don't live nearer Leicestershire...you could "practice" on me. A meal for two, a few laughs a bottle of wine and a few stories and who knows, a little kissing with a few buttons undone.......;-)
Could you really go through that again.
Blimey...I am turning myself on.
