[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All he does is talk about himself, how much money he has, his big house and my mom. No one will ever put up with him. Is there any hope that a crazy woman is so desperate that she will sit through a dinner of this talk?[/quote]

He probably doesn’t know how to date.  How long has he been single/widowed?  Do you have the type of relationship with him that you can tell him how he comes across to the opposite sex?  It sounds like he’s lonely and just doesn’t know what to do?[/quote]
This is exactly it. He hasn’t dated since the 60s! She’s been gone 5 years. No, I don’t have the type of relationship where I can give him advice, and I don’t want to have that type of relationship. I don’t want to discuss s3x with my dad which seems to be his main focus. Maybe he thinks this is his last hurrah? [/quote]

I’m 54 and my bf is 61.  We have enough in common and find a lot to talk about.  When he starts rambling about himself I just tune him out.  In other words, the good out weighs the bad.  At this point in my life, I’m looking for companionship.  If I can get that 60% of the time we’re together, I can ignore the rest.  At our age, we all come with baggage and habits.  He puts up my stuff as much as I put up with his.[/quote]

Interesting, so maybe a 70 year old will just be happy to be out at dinner and can tune him out? [/quote]

That’s what I do.  Can’t have it all at my age.  My bf listens to me ramble on about my grandkids and what tv shows I’m watching.  He’s a sports person and I’m a Bridgeton person.  My nonsense occupies as much of the conversation as his does.

Are you 54 and a grandmother already? [/quote]

It is not hard to be a grandparent at age 54. I'm 54 and have 3 kids. 30, 27, and 24. I just had my first grandkid last year.

Holy cow I am 60 and my kids are mid 20s neither even married yet[/quote]

NP   I'm really sorry you won't get to know your grandchildren except maybe as toddlers.  I am 70 and have three great grandchildren.  It's awesome!  Wouldn't go back and change a thing![/quote]

Not everyone is a teen mother. Not exactly something to brag about. [/quote]
