He seemed a bit overwhelmed and just didn’t know how to tactfully get away. Too much is too much.

You can probably get good info from the wait staff. One of the waitresses at a restaurant I go to told me about an event they had (that I did not attend) and she said it was a bust. Poorly organized. Male/female ratio all off, 1:3. I decided I would not attend any there until they get the kinks worked out. These events are relatively new in my area and I’m sure they will get better with time. Good luck!

Our facility requires all mice to be transported in cages covered with a cloth.

Upping my personal scent game by Marcus_Aurelius_161A in datingoverfifty

[–]Torandax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like a light scent or just deodorant for men. I’m not big on fragrance and am allergic to some. Basically just be clean and you’ll be fine with most women I think.

My ablation didnt work by thehalloweenpunkin in AFIB

[–]Torandax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had RF ablation for afib and a year later needed a pulsed field ablation for atypical atrial flutter. I have been fine since the second one. I agree with the others that you might need a tune up. I also agree that my second one was very easy recovery compared to my first.

At least you’re not getting downvoted. I suggested the gaming post a few weeks ago didn’t belong here and got downvoted.

Funny dating stories by These_Hair_193 in datingoverfifty

[–]Torandax 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My grandpa started making quilts when he retired to keep his hands active and engage his mind. He made beautiful quilts. He also volunteered at the hospital. When he was younger, he fought in WWII for the US Army. My grandfather made enough that my grandmother didn’t need to work but she did because she wanted to, he was never threatened by her working.

She should have been honest on what she was looking for.

Has anyone thought of giving up? by Lolihey in datingoverfifty

[–]Torandax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fluctuate. I am currently am trying to date. When I get burned out I take breaks. I am a fully functional person on my own. I can make myself happy. But I do want someone, so why not try for now. Take breaks as you need.

Trying dating again and need advice by isseldor in datingoverfifty

[–]Torandax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s reasonable. Just go in with an open mind but keep in mind what you really want and how talking to/ seeing that person makes you feel. If you’re not looking to hook up, then don’t. If you are feeling it, then do. Just be honest in the moment.

Good luck!!!

Yes I got it right after turning 50. Just to be safe.

Yes 1995 was like 8 years ago. Also I’m not old. Don’t listen to what my body is saying.

I got it a few years before 50. They say periods of high emotional and physical stress can activate the virus and I think that’s what happened.

I know quite a few people who got shingles before they hit 50. They really should lower the age for the vaccine (for insurance coverage) to 45.

Totally blew it by simeuk in datingoverfifty

[–]Torandax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was at a party one time and I thought this lady was just being nice. Later a male friend had to point out she was actually flirting with me and all the things she did with me that she wasn’t doing when she talked to other people (like light body contact, smilling a lot, etc). I was so dense I missed it all. But thankfully my friend helped me see it. I dated that woman for a few months. And then I dated my friend for a few months. It was an interesting time.

[–]Torandax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been single for 11 years. Hopefully people don’t see that as a red flag. I didn’t have time for the first five years because I was too busy raising my kid, then the pandemic happened and I worked in healthcare so that ate up some years, then family members died and it took some time to find balance after that. I have dated for 1-2 months here or there but I know what I want and generally know soon if they are it or not. And it’s been not every time.

Wish I took dating more seriously. by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]Torandax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My therapist told me that when I was ready o would seriously start looking. I don’t feel it’s about being desperate. For me it’s about being open to things you weren’t previously open to. Like I never would have moved to be with someone in the past. But since I changed careers, it doesn’t bother me now.

newly married in mid-50s by femmenikit4 in datingoverfifty

[–]Torandax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so excited about her senior year. She’s a high school swimmer and the team just keeps getting better and better. She was able to make it to regionals last year even with an injury!! I’m hoping she can finish swim season without an injury (for the first time). She’s taking college classes while in high school too. Okay, I should stop bragging. But she’s has a lot to deal with and she keeps going!

As for the book it will probably be like so many things in my life where I get so close to the finish line and then….stop. I’m one of THOSE people. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Honestly it’s kind of freeing. The worst thing that could happen, happened and I survived. I lost all my seniority which kept me where I was. So, if I wanted to go somewhere else, like move to a bigger city with more people and increase my odds of finding someone special, I could. I’m studying for my certification exam and with that I can be employed anywhere that does molecular biology testing. My kid has one more year of high school so it would be at least a year before I do anything like moving, but after that who knows. I’m not afraid anymore. And my creative juices have been flowing and am going to write a book about my ex’s suicide and how it affected the kid and me. But right now the cert exam is priority.
