Dating

[Shimmy 27]

I've got a 10 year old daughter and I've been single for......10.5 years! Honestly dating and "cardio" have been on my mind a lot more since my decision to have WLS. December 4th is my surgery which also happens to be my birthday (did that on purpose)! I'd so love to meet a Mr. Wonderful but I'm worried my expectations are too high...like unrealistically high. I'd try the online dating thing but with caution. Hoping to be dating in less than a year maybe???

Online is scary for me personally, and most singles meets seem to be either 30s abd under or 70s and up. Im in the "no man's land" of 50s. Also, is it weird to not want to date people if you live in an area you wouldnt want to settle down?

It's rough out there, try to stay earnest, vigilant and willing.

Well , Late Lamented died July 4th 2012. Kahkeetsee thinks she is in a" no mans land" in her 50s, try being 72. But as I lose weight I can only get cuter, more approachable as I get smaller, and Maybe Just Maybe there will be a dude not in the throes of senility whose interest will be piqued by my Awesome Self. Or I could become a Cougar, go prowling and see WHAT I can drag into my cave? Or I can retire from the search and remain Blissfully Unmarried and Free for the Pickup and Hauling!😛At any rate I will still be ME😇and that's COOL,in itself.

I decided to cancel the dates with the people I met in person and try another date with the one I went on several dates with (and was self sabotaging, I admit it), and it turns out it was a fantastic choice. We had the most in common and when I began to relax, things fell into place.
