Tom’s response to Brenda: Brenda, I understand your frustration. Your marriage of 30 years to a loving and devoted husband has set the bar very high for another loving relationship. And I commend you for putting yourself out there on the internet. Here are five suggestions: 1. Reconsider the number of available men. At age 60, the ratio is not four or five women to each available man, but closer to threeto-one. At 68, it is a bit wider. So, although the ratio is daunting, it’s not quite as bad as you have suggested. Plus, the lack of men doesn’t appear to be your problem. You say you’ve met 12 to 13 men for coffee dates, over about a year’s time. www.50plusLifePA.com
That is pretty darned good. Many women who write me haven’t had a date in several years, and you are out with a new guy on average about once a month? Also, in that year, four of the men you dated “for more than a few dates.” That’s pretty darned good also. Again, it’s not the shortage of men that is the issue. 2. Soften your attitude toward dating and the men you are meeting. You say you “hate dating.” Drop the word “hate” from your dating vocabulary.
Also, regarding those 12-13 coffee dates you had, you said you would not be “caught dead” with any of them. Drop those words from your dating vocabulary as well. You also said, “… so many loser men out there.” No man will match what you had with your husband. Lighten up a little on men; there are good ones available. 3. Your problem isn’t meeting men; it is meeting the wrong type of men. I suggest you be more selective in the guys you agree to go out with. Try different internet dating sites. Make a written list of the qualities
you want in a mate and date only men who have those qualities. 4. From what you say, you’ve got many positives. You’re fortunate. Appreciate what you have and get out there and help others who are less fortunate. Give back. Volunteer in several places, not just one or two. 5. How soon is too soon to give up seeking a mate? At 68, you are way too young to give up. Just make a few changes and you will be fine. I know women in their 80s who have met nice partners.
