[quote=Lonely_Sojourner][quote=Anonymous]They really suck, to be honest. I actually met my current boyfriend on Bumble but it took abut a year of running into him in random places wth friends that I really got interested in him. Just expect dozens of bad dates, but at least you get free drinks/food if you're a girl and conversation practice. I've met a lot of weirdos. [/quote]

+1...  I recently joined the ranks of online dating about a year ago and I despise it with a passion.  Being an "old-school" type of guy from the South, I prefer face-to-face, eyeball-to-eyeball engagements as I rely heavily on gut-feel; not to mention, I have a very outgoing personality and pride myself on being a good conversationalist.

Being widowed for the past three years, let me share that learning to date all over again at the "ripe old age" of 50 is tough on numerous fronts.  I'll share one story that comes to mind.  I was on my fourth date with a very nice lady and invited her to my house for dinner.  On a previous occasion, she inquired as to how my wife died and also took the opportunity to ask if I had any medical issues.  I replied that I have a annual physical (in August) to include a complete blood work-up and I'm not on any medications.  She obviously doubted my response as she later used my master bathroom and took the opportunity to go through the medicine cabinet to verify said claim.  How do I know this?  She came out of the bathroom and told me.  BL - there was no date five!!
