If somehow men did decide to approach me, I'd probably be all bristly and defensive. I haven't worn my wedding ring for years figuring you were either married or you weren't.. that a ring was just a ring. I think I was mad that spouse never wore his.
The one thing I do know is that I never looked at men as sexual beings. They were dads, friend's spouse, someone's brother, etc... never thought about age, availability. They were just guys. I never looked at the menu.
Now perhaps I look to where the menu is kept but can't imagine any involvement at this time. I see a wonderful widow in her mid seventies who's so loving and active. She never remarried after her husband's death about 10 years ago. I wonder about being alone. Then I mentally kick myself and focus on what is the now.
Perhaps re-entering the dating arena is a potent incentive for weight loss!
