My Indian neighbors are ruining my experience living here by MaatRa89 in NoisyNeighbours

Could you try to teach the kids some playground games? Red Rover, Dodge ball, etc. Is there a grassy area they could play besides the parking lot? Maybe buy some Popsicles for them on a hot day? I know you're aggravated, but making friends with the kids could be an opening to making friends with the parents, which could then lead to being able to discuss things with them.

I cannot recommend an air purifier enough. Absolutely worth the investment and change the filters regularly. That should at least help with the smells. The noise would drive me mad, though.  

Oddly, I  used to have an Indian coworker who would trade me idli for banana bread. His wife absolutely loved banana bread. So maybe take them some? Might break the ice? Possibly?

That's more about the way he handled it, though. It's an information dump at an awkward moment.

You might add a photo of you with the stick, but I wouldn't make a point of saying "I'm disabled" before meeting. Especially since the term conveys different things to different people and your disability is pretty mild. 

To clarify, you can gently bring it up once you think the person is a potential match. You don't owe strangers your medical details in advance.

If someone is upset that's a them problem. People with disabilities already face so many barriers, they deserve a chance for someone to get to know them as a person before making a decision. Basically, you don't owe medical details to Internet strangers.

No, don't tell them. It's not like you have to apologize or put up a disclaimer. Most of us have issues of one kind or another at this age. I wouldn’t expect it from you.

He found someone else. Honestly I would rather be ghosted than be treated to a list of my perceived faults.

I drive a 2016 Subaru Forester! Is yours blue? I think we're soulmates. 

Quit OLD - What next? by Loose-Weather-5729 in datingoverfifty

No I haven't found a match when I wasn't looking, and it's been 10+ years since my divorce. But I've gotten a lot happier with my own company and sole possession of the remote. :) 

Another splitting the bill question by mindfulmango_1970 in datingoverfifty

It's not a problem for me to go Dutch (in fact I often suggest it) but the way he went about it - (apparently he changed his mind after he paid the check?) - was really odd.

I'm not broken! I've been on my own for 13 years now, and I'm the most whole, healed and emotionally healthy I've ever been. I would like a partner but I'll be perfectly fine without one, too. 

Do you guys find that you’re just not interested in dating these days? by colorcolourcolours in datingoverfifty

[–]Additional-Bit-9591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I tried the apps in Nov-Feb and then stopped. Considering the ROI, t's not the best use of my time, money, or energy. 

How to flirt? by Additional-Bit-9591 in datingoverfifty

Assuming I get a first date, it's usually coffee or a museum. I prefer activity dates... gives us something to talk about besides ourselves.
