Did Boy Wonder use online dating? Like to be fly on the wall for that.
I wouldn’t mind a little monetary support to visit England again. I’m just saying.

Oh no! He also investigated woman out of the state and country. Some were possibilities, but hell would have to freeze over before they came to the ND. I guess he could have left but then my snagging him would have ceased to exist.

Then there were the ones from other countries that apparently needed lots of monetary support to come to the US. Yea, right….

Was he only limiting himself to Dakota babes? Dakota women are lovely, but that certainly decreased his pool of options.

My husband used online dating in his late 40s and early 50s….it did not work out….good thing for me! He also has nothing positive to say about it, could just be the fact we are stuck in the middle of the ND will minimal population options when it comes to hot older babes.

That’s fantastic, Edward! Glad to hear online dating is proving effective and that you found some nice and normal folks. It does seem to be getting more and more difficult to meet people in person. Makes me think how valuable college was for such stuff. Thanks for the book references, too.
Best of luck on your search!

Most of the readers on this site seem to be in their twenties and thirties at most. Wait until you are in your 60s as I am and see how much more difficult it is to meet someone interesting. I used online dating and found all the people I met were normal and nice & I even dated some of them four or five times. Just haven’t found THE ONE yet. I got my confidence to use online dating by reading the book Internet Safari, Finding Love Online at 65 by Gordon Scott Edwards. If your not hug up on the age difference, you might try that book too and see if it helps deal with some doubts about internet dating.

You tried it, huh? Cool. I think most people want to meet their someone organically (or whatever); naturally and unforced, like you did with your husband (I think the metaphor broke down). Maybe that’s just me. I don’t know. Meeting at church or at a friend’s birthday party or at putt putt with a bunch of people would be cool. Good stuff. I’ll read this in the morning & edit the donkeys out of it.

I tried several online singles matches way back when… went on a few dates… pictures can definitely be deceiving (like when the upper half totally doesn’t prepare you for the lower half!) Nevertheless… they were all pretty normal nice guys… just not the perfect person for me! I totally recommend it… it was loads of fun! As it turns out the guy I did marry?? I met him in church. (And have never emailed him once.) In fact, he barely knows how to turn a computer on!

Wow! Lying on the resume of LOVE. I knew it!
I don’t think online dating would be too bad, really. I dunno. I think a few of those online site have background checks and a few of them, eharmony in particular, seem to use special matching stuff. So I’ve heard. That would be useful, but it’s true people could write or answer however it benefited them most. Also, pics could be old or altered. The online stuff could be an advantage for those in the boonies or in all-girls’ schools.

you tell your buddy Greg if he had only provided me with his bank account info, I so would have flown directly from Nigeria and married him…..not

Yea, online dating, I just find creepy. Though my Patrick did use the online spectrum to ask me out on my first day, e-mail…..on a whole online dating is creepy. It is like a blind date every time and I don’t know about other people but for those of us who lie, def. not me, in the online world…they make it just that more precarious to meet a sane non-axe wielding potential love match.

In the meantime, I stick to the rule that I am 5.9, 125 pounds, blond hair, have a doctorate in astro-physicists, work part time as a super model in Milan, sing back up for U2, spend my holidays trekking various remote areas, climbed K2 last year, and am a gourmet chef. (recently broke up with Brad Pitt to marry Patrick)
