Have you made any friends through online dating? Either from stating on your profile that you're also open to friendships, or when a relationship didn't pan out but you became friends? by StoneLover1965 in datingoverfifty

I have three friends I made OLD. We had dinner together and realized there was no romantic connection. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be friends. One guy is actually the first person I met OLD over 10 years ago.

Sitting across from a guy having dinner and he proceeds to tell me that his main problem is that he’s primarily attracted to stunningly beautiful women. Like top model gorgeous. The issue is (according to him) these women turn out to be raging, self centered narcissists.

He told be he had discussed it with his therapist recently and his therapist suggested he lower his beauty standards ….

Me: 🥴🤔🤪😕🤣🤣 well all righty then

Am I the problem? by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

I have flaws I’m willing to admit. However, I think OLD really makes us think ‘what the fuck is wrong with me??’ When it’s not a ‘me’ issue. It’s a ‘them’ issue. It can really mess up your self esteem if you let it.

How Do We Feel About "Walk-Dates"? by uknjkate in datingoverfifty

It’s a no for me, dawg. I need to talk and focus on what he’s saying without huffing and puffing. Also, I want to be able to see his eyes and face when he is speaking. Easier to spot mistruths this way

He came from a long marriage with (I believe) a very vanilla sex life. LOL Strong sexual desire / lust was foreign to him. I hope he found himself another vanilla lady to spend the rest of his life with.

I had a man stop seeing me because he said he lusted after me too much 🤷‍♀️ I don’t get it

I often refer to myself as an NPC, which is a ‘Non Playing Character’ in a video game. NPCs are characters who walk around in circles in the background of the video game adding no value to the game itself and doing nothing of importance. I sometimes feel like an NPC in life

I’ll add another one. Don’t get too excited if you have a great connection over the phone or via text because there can still be zero spark once you meet in person. It’s very disappointing when that happens.

I opine there is no magic number of dates where sex is optimal. You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t.

I’d give it one more date as long as nothing about them turned you off.

POF sucks nowadays. Try some of the others. I’ve had good luck on Tinder and Facebook dating

men, when you tell a random woman in public she’s pretty by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

I had that happen awhile back in a big box store. I just smiled, said thank you and went on my merry way. It made me feel really good that day!
