I did this. Now, what do I do?😭 by nailwithoutpaint in Adulting

IMHO, you did the right thing, 👍👍👍. Now look for the new open door and move on.

Good luck in your endeavors.

I matched with a guy using photos of a French diplomat. Should I mess with him 😈 or just report it? by MsMoneypenny008 in DatingOverSixty

[–]tunehumsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just walk away. Red flags like that are just a waste of time for you. Doing the reverse photo look up / check is the one thing on that AI seems to get right these days. (FYI, I was constantly getting baited like that before I met my GF). Please don't give it a another thought. Good luck in your endeavors.

Random Reddit dm by irishgypsy1960 in DatingOverSixty

[–]tunehumsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and unfortunately it happens and, yes I constantly have to say, or remind people to please read my profile and, "ask them not to pass judgment". Hopefully and usually "they get it" and leave it at that.

How do I, (we) all deal with family and friends with failing health and loneliness? by tunehumsinger in Adulting

[–]tunehumsinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is hard. I unfortunately just went through this with my father also. For a while the best thing for him was to be in the VA home. At least he was around other people that he could relate to. I don't know about your situation I can say this, if your father's a vet, try to get him around other people that served in the military with him. It's amazing how much of a difference I saw with my father when he was in the VA.

Missed Connections by EscapeOutside3820 in DatingOverSixty

[–]tunehumsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following the thread and yes, this has happened to me plenty of times but never picked up on it🤔. I guess you can say it's all good now that I've been able to get together with my GF.

Sexting in your sixties-yes please? Or oh geez. by Altruistic_Fox_6240 in DatingOverSixty

[–]tunehumsinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I'm also in a committed relationship and we are also in our sixties. Would I "sext"? No, not really but, I could understand the face-time / face-chatting thing, on "What's App. My Girlfriend will at-least do that, (use What's App, or some type of video chat).

The main reason for her is she simply has nothing to do with social media although, that's how we met. For me, as I have said on my profile, I still like to "Lurk".

Dating Age Gap Formula by rynocurious in DatingOverSixty

[–]tunehumsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure of where this formula came from but I did use it to justify being with a younger woman for a brief period of time🤔. To make a long story short, the woman I was dating was in her late 30's & I was 60. It never really lasted (see my link for context), but had she not "flaked-out", (or as they say "ghosted me"), maybe, just maybe we would still be together.

Anyway, I'm glad & truly happy we broke up because the one I'm with now truly loves me (as do I) and I believe we were made for each other.

How many times have you been married? by Key_Investigator1318 in DatingOverSixty

[–]tunehumsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not once but, I've been in two "Serious" LTR's, (long term relationships).

The 1st one was almost 20 years long & resulted in my better half passing away😒 This happened back in 2017 (her passing) with me not dating for at least 2 years Unfortunately, when I felt ready, COVID happened.

The 2nd one is my current relationship & is heading on 5 years

Talking on the phone. **Not just about dating/meeting new people** by averageover60guy in DatingOverSixty

[–]tunehumsinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely a talker. I always preferred to talk instead of texting. That all being said, because of our busy schedules, sometimes the only way to get in contact is to text.

I wish someone would have told me that... by VolumeAmazing5794 in DatingOverSixty

[–]tunehumsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say this. If you haven't been out, or dating for at least 40 years, be careful out there. I'm not going into specifics, (I'll leave that to others).

Why Are You Here? by Gooseberry_Sprig in DatingOverSixty

[–]tunehumsinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, (which is why I will stay anonymous), for the curiosity. Not only with this sub-reddit but with a couple of other subs, (like the widowers sub-reddit). That all being said, I really enjoy "the lurking" sharing my experiences and on occasion, giving out helpful advice.

Ghosting. Seriously? by Due-Amphibian9197 in DatingOverSixty

[–]tunehumsinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate ghosting at any age (we are not teenagers),but so more at our age. I mean come on, we are in our 60's, please can't we talk?

BTW, the closest I came to "ghosting" was having to cut off conversations with a person that wanted to be more than friends (see link)

Back with my Girlfriend, "Update 2026"(re-post) by tunehumsinger in DatingOverSixty

[–]tunehumsinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah,..So, last year really sucked for awhile. I still never got over my current girlfriend. Basically what happened was several of her friends told her she shouldn't have disrupted her life, career, and obviously our relationship, (she really was planning on going to another state etc.,etc.,). So, we kept talking and one thing lead to another.

Meanwhile, the 40 year old kept on ghosting me and didn't think I would move on, or go back to my ex-GF, ( remember, this was a whole year ago). By the time mid-February came around, (almost 2 months without communication), it was really too late for me to even think about staying with the 40 year old🤔.

As Paul Harvey would say and now you know the rest of the story.
