[quote=Anonymous]I’m 57 and I’ve been single for four years which meant I hadn’t dated in over 30 years so I was nervous as hell! One of my daughters said Dad you’re good looking, successful and a nice guy so don’t fake anything and you’ll be fine. My profile was very straight forward with very real pictures and while I thought it was pretty boring the response I got was very good. I quickly went on a bunch of first dates which were fine but I clearly had not done my homework on their profiles because we had little in common except divorce and kids and that’s not what I wanted to talk about. So I added to my profile real clarity about my interests and the hope that someone else really did share in one or more of those interests. That made a big difference. Also, when I was young I had only dated women my age and race (white) and that I was open to meeting a wide age range as well as race. That really helped because I ended up meeting women much younger and older as well as Asians and AA’s. The differences in age and race really made for far more interesting conversations. Of the 15 or so women I met I dated 6 of them for pretty long periods and I’m currently in a nice LTR. After a long period of monogamy and a sexless marriage at some point I nervously cross the sex bridge. When I did cross the bridge I told my partner that it had been a very long time and that I was nervous and she said don’t be and that she was happy to be my “first”. It was also fun to be with other women and see how different it can be. So relax and enjoy yourself. [/quote]
