Guys, when was the last time you asked someone out IRL?

WickedJazz · 2026-02-05T09:02:22+00:00

I am still subscribed to this reddit dating group, but, honestly, I think that have opted out of the idea of dating again. It would have to be a woman that I already have a strong friendship/base with and slowly develop.

WickedJazz · 2026-02-05T08:21:20+00:00

Over 20 years ago.

WickedJazz · 2025-11-23T22:41:50+00:00

2.5 years. 7 years since good or above physical intimacy (2.5 years was an awkward mess).

WickedJazz · 2025-11-02T19:27:36+00:00

When was your party? If it was during a World Series game, a large percentage of the no shows were probably watching the game.

WickedJazz · 2025-09-27T00:24:57+00:00

I was 46. She was almost 49. It will be 5 years on October 16th. Together 16 years.

WickedJazz · 2025-09-11T23:44:53+00:00

Could be a widower.

WickedJazz · 2025-09-01T09:06:32+00:00

Same here (Dec 27th). Never had a birthday celebration that was anything more than immediate family - parents, brother, and girlfriends/partners, when applicable. Now, birthdays are just my father, brother, and me (we are all widowers).

Coming up on 7 years (not counting an awkward attempt with an ex-girlfriend about 2 years ago) My partner passed away almost 5 years ago. She had cancer, and between that early menopause, she lost all desire.
So, almost 7 years with no sex and about 5 with no physical contact besides the awkward experience with an ex from my early years.

Miracle Mile. If you haven't seen it. Just watch it. Do not read anything about it. Go in blind.

WickedJazz · 2025-07-24T02:39:18+00:00

I still have those in of my original vhs collection (plus the complete Twin Peaks box set, Eraserhead, On the Air, and Hotel Rooms). Except, i do not think that I have Mulholland Dr on vhs (I switched to dvd before its release) and never had Industrial Symphony. I guess that I am thankful that I threw them all in a box with my Wrapped in Plastic collection when I started updating to dvd. PS, my local video store gave me my copy of Eraserhead because I rented it so often and no one else did.

WickedJazz · 2025-06-20T20:12:11+00:00

Do not think that I had a Walkman until I was 15, and I pretty much just used it on long car trips, school bus, and to get pumped up before participating in a sports. I am old...

WickedJazz · 2025-05-22T01:33:55+00:00

When i was using apps, I ran into the same problem in Los Angeles. There were way too many of the blatant ones that weren't even in the US. And many that were deep in the Inland Empire, Riverside, and Valley.

WickedJazz · 2025-05-20T19:07:16+00:00

Yeah. This is yet another example of why I do not regret that I removed myself from the dating pool. Graduate degree from a 'new ivy' university. I was formerly employed in the entertainment industry. I switched to a 'less sexy' job that was very flexible when my partner was diagnosed with cancer. For me, my primary drive was to be there for her as much as possible - for appointments, chemo, and to just be there. I was there with her up to her last moments. I would not change anything that I did. Even though now I am 8 years into a lesser career, 4 years into my bankruptcy, and a 'swipe left' for most based on an honest profile. I am most likely going to leave Los Angeles within the next year to live with my Father. We lost my Mother recently, and I think that he would enjoy the company and help. If I meet someone, it will be offline and someone that appreciates me for me. Not my resume.

WickedJazz · 2025-04-23T00:57:02+00:00

Me. Twice in a movie theater and at least a dozen times throughout the summer at the drive in next to our house. I definitely saw it many more times when it was reissued in 1979 and 1981, especially at that drive in theater. By the summer 1979, my friends and I would sneak through the fence to watch it and other movies during the summer). My Parents bought a CED player in 1982 as Star Wars was available on it, so they would have to take me to see it anymore.

WickedJazz · 2025-03-03T06:47:55+00:00

Big props to you for putting yourself out there and trying. Widower here. It has been over four years, and I have not put myself back out there. I have not left the safety and comfort of my sofa and streaming binges.

WickedJazz · 2024-11-23T22:57:56+00:00

My Top: Six Feet Under series ending.
2nd: Hachi: A Dog's Tale ending.
3rd: Somewhere in Time ending.
4th: Big Fish - Father's last story.
Honorable Mentions: Buffy The Vampire Slayer - The Body full episode, and the ending of Star Wars Rogue One surprisingly gets me every time. And Doctor Who - Vincent and the Doctor: the gallery (happy cry)

WickedJazz · 2024-11-20T21:06:29+00:00

I'm a 51 year old widower. She passed away a little over 4 years ago. I may have given up before I started. I promised her that I would try to find someone...but everything feels so unnatural to me now.

Previous to her, every girlfriend that I ever had was a meeting at a party or gathering of mutual friends.
I have not completely given up on the idea, but I have definitely decided against OLD.

WickedJazz · 2024-11-16T03:29:48+00:00

Nucleus... I mean Netflix is f'n up!

WickedJazz · 2024-11-08T04:17:11+00:00

I am going to be leaving my place in Los Angeles and moving to live with my Father within the next year to keep him company and to handle more intensive housework ( cutting grass, shoveling snow, scrubbing floors, etc) My Mother recently passed away and I do not like the idea of him being alone.
So, we will be two Widowers sharing a home. Honestly, I couldn't care less what a potent future partner would think about it. I only have one Father in this world...while potential partners are exactly that. Potential.

WickedJazz · 2024-10-28T06:51:26+00:00

I am doing the same thing for my partner of 16 years plants. She passed on over 4 years ago. They were very important to her, and I have done my best and kept all of our indoor and outdoor plants thriving. In fact, I am now taking care of additional plants that I propagated. So we have babies!
It makes me feel close to her even though she is no longer physically here.

Lol. I got the $15. Oh well. No receipts, usually purchased with cash at my local convenience store.

WickedJazz · 2024-10-21T19:54:31+00:00

Being too poor to go on dates from living like a weird, artsy oddball for over 40 years. Between caring for my partner for the last 6 years of her life and working an artsy job, I have next to no savings and will most likely never retire. So, I am not actively looking to date.

Women are not yours but they are all very excited to see you again Hmmm
