Hi Friends, Yes, it is frightening because of all of the reasons you mentioned. Never thought I would have to enter the dating world at the age of 46. Yes, it has been over 25 years since I even thought of another man.
This past week has been interesting to say the least. I not only met the accountant, but I also met a 31 year old at a singles dance last weekend. The waitress said the gentleman in the red shirt would like to buy you a drink. He later asked me to dance and found out he was only 31! My age didn't seem to bother him as much as it did me! LOL Matter of fact he even asked me out. I politely declined.
The other man, the accountant is 52. He is the one I met for drinks. As my girls would say, he has been blowing my phone up with texts and phone calls. He makes me nervous. He is very touchy-feely. Not in a particularly bad way, but I'm not ready to be that close to another man. I told him I thought he was nice, but we would have to take it very slow. Odd, I thought I was ready for a relationship, but I'm not so sure. I certainly won't jump into anything.
Life used to be far less complicated before the "H" was abucted by the aliens!
