  1. I am finding it so difficult to date in my 60s. I still work full time, most men, or seems the ones I meet, are retired. They want someone who can travel, someone they can see and talk to every day. I just want do that. I work 4 – 9 hour days, and have a very stressful job where I have to deal with people all day. When I come home, I need some quiet time. Since I get up at 5:30, it’s necessary for me to go to bed pretty early. I recently tried dating a very nice guy in the 55+ community I live in, whom I was interested in, but it was like he couldn’t wait til I got home and wanted my attention. I realize what a compliment that is, but I come home exhausted, everyone who works where I do says the same thing. Some nice texting or short phone conversation would be great, or bring me dinner, stay a bit, then leave, would be great too. But then he also wants to go out every night of the weekend. I can’t do that either. I have laundry to do, a place to clean, some family activities…..church on Sunday, am I just asking for too much? I think there should be balance. Of course I would love to meet the man of my dreams, but don’t we need to take it a bit slow at first, get to know each other, have some fun? I think this is more because he sits home all day every day, except for golf, so he has nothing else to do. I can’t help that I’m not in a position to retire and won’t be for several years yet. HELP!

    1. with your…I think understanding matters the most in your relationship. This is peculiar to non regular communication. I believe if you both want your relationship to be fruitful, you can always talk things out to the benefit of yourselves. Generally, there are usually ups and down , misunderstandings, argument in a relationship but what makes you matured is the way you choose to handle it.

    2. I will like to meet you. I am Puertorican, 65 y/o, and good listening. I like to talk and interchange ideas and fluids. I live in Puerto Rico and when ever you want I will be glad to receive you and show you the island.
      Looking to talk with you,

  3. Normally on the first date I ask a woman if she would sleep with me if she was really mad, mad at me reason I ask this question is very simple understand difference between a man and a woman you have to understand that a man having a woman sexually close it’s just telling him that everything is still okay, sometimes they just run away and that’s fine, we just don’t agree and in some situations that 1 could be a real problem to begin with and that’s why I like to explain how a man feels close to a woman and a woman feels close to a man and and just 1 be honest be 1

  4. RE: “# 1 Respect” You write, “if you want to give respect, you have to give respect.” I believe you meant, “if you want to GET respect, you have to give respect.”

  5. I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet
    I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all
    website owners and bloggers made good content as you
    did, the web will be much more useful than ever
    before.
