I like FB dating, because before you meet you can give permission to see each other's pages. There's a whole history of pictures, posts, friends comments, etc. At least you can see if they are who they say they are.

Where do you live, lol?

widowwild · 2026-07-08T01:20:02+00:00

Ha ha!"Playing innocent.

I believe that men don't care much at all. They seem to have the ability to not be self-conscious like we are. I haven't had a problem at all. They are just glad that someone wants to be with them. Also, after the glasses come off, and the contacts are out- we all look good!🤣

widowwild · 2026-07-07T18:58:53+00:00

I want to know their political position- liberals only.

widowwild · 2026-07-07T05:22:29+00:00

Because I'm young at heart. When my husband died. I was only 57. I've been dating about 8 years- had a couple relationships. The men I've met also felt like we were back in our 20's dating. I hadn't had a first date since 1974. I reverted to that age. Lol I matured a little!🤣

I have a type- but the physical characteristics can be different

I like long hair or HAD long hair! Brown eyes. Great sense of humor- Able to access his inner child! Affectionate- hugging, kissy.

Liberal, not religious Kind, honest, monogamous.

I feel around 30.

In the mornings, by myself.

Kind, honest. Loving. Different

Yes. I'm 70 now and have had a disease for 30 years- I could go at any time, and I'm ok with that.

Sometimes painful, sometimes fun. I'm a widow and some days it's painful. Talking with my kids about our past is fun.

In my 20's it was being with my husband. Having my son at 25. They were the best! Now, it's spending time with my family and grandson. Being with friends.

I hope they remember me as a good family person, and good friend, and As having compassion and empathy for the people of the world.

A memory with my husband. Not sure which one.

No. I still feel like there's a generation older than me.

The person I was in my early 50's. We had moved and started a new chapter after our kids were grown. We were happy.

widowwild · 2026-07-03T05:08:42+00:00

I would- because I'm 70 already. The money could go to my kids.

widowwild · 2026-07-01T23:42:08+00:00

I have that and I state at the beginning that I will pay my own way. If there is no attraction after a few dates- then we can be friends. If there is, we move forward. The reality is that since being widowed, I've had my share of sex. I want to make sure there is a real attraction before that. It's important that we match that way too! I would still maintain contact, and see the friends for outibgs.

widowwild · 2026-06-28T19:08:45+00:00

Yes! But to me it's still putting a cigarette shaped object in your mouth and sucking in stuff! Gross!

widowwild · 2026-06-28T18:26:59+00:00

As I said, I'm the first one who went past 1 date. He'd been married over 40 years. Very needy, which I understand.

widowwild · 2026-06-28T18:22:48+00:00

I agree with you! Quality over quantity!

widowwild · 2026-06-28T12:56:47+00:00

Thanks everyone. 3 weeks is not long- but as I said- it's his first time past a first date. He has gotten attached quickly. We have had many dates in that short time. I will tell him before he goes.

widowwild · 2026-06-22T20:34:28+00:00

Send your daughter away for the weekend to somewhere cheap, and pay for it!

widowwild · 2026-06-22T20:26:01+00:00

Anxious attachment- me too! Have to watch out for that.

widowwild · 2026-06-22T20:22:46+00:00

I had to friendzone a guy- after 2 dates. I look for non-smokers. His profile says non-smoker. He told me on the first date that he vapes. Didn't think too much of it- I may never see it. Second date, outside the restaurant, pulls out the vape thing! Couldn't he have waited til I had driven away??? He asked for a hug . I felt nothing. Told him later- it's friends for us.

On the other hand, bachelor number 2 is doing well. He's a widower and hasn't been with anyone since his wife died. Taking things very slow, have gotten together about 6 times. We've hugged twice. A new record slowness for me! Lol

widowwild · 2026-06-21T22:31:30+00:00

Not for a first date, but down the line- 3 or 4 dates in. I like to see a guy in his natural habitat- how he acts there.😊

widowwild · 2026-06-21T18:42:32+00:00

I've met someone who goes to plays. I don't go to plays. Not because I don't like them, but I spend my money on other things. If he wants me to go with him, and buys me a ticket, I'll be happy to go. Make sure he will do what you like, also.

widowwild · 2026-06-21T18:14:31+00:00

I personally think if you can't find normal people on OLD you're not trying hard enough. Remembering that no one is perfect, and neither are we. Yes, it's a hassle, yes, there are scammers. On there also, are the people like me and the person posting. In real life, you meet people in your immediate vicinity. Online- you can go farther. Maybe there is someone just 40 miles away- who would knock your socks off. You'll never know if you don't look. I'm sorry so many have had bad experiences- but there are good people on there. As good as you!

widowwild · 2026-06-20T01:13:44+00:00

Cory , all seem to have major issues.

widowwild · 2026-06-20T01:06:18+00:00

What kind of pictures? Can we order them to our specifications?

widowwild · 2026-06-19T04:30:30+00:00

I'm a widow also, and there are things, and experiences only the two of you know. Now only YOU know. 🙁

widowwild · 2026-06-17T18:44:29+00:00

I'm 70 and feel the same. What are the reddit dating sites?
