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?

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?


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.


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

No, I did that in private in my room with a very long phone cord.

Your mom? Is this an open marriage thing?


No, she passed away so maybe that’s not as offensive to these potential suitors.
