Well, this is a subject on my mind at the moment, so I'll chime in.
I find the challenges I'm facing:
- how to keep from repeating the same mistakes? (I'm dating a guy with chronic depression - something my ex suffered from - and only recently realized that almost ALL my boyfriends when I was younger had issues with this, I never noticed before! I obviously have to work on figuring out why I choose that.)
- what are the "new" dating rules? (Since I haven't dated in 27 years, my circumstances now are radically different. No need to marry and have kids, what does a new relationship look like at my age? What do I want, exactly? Do I still have to play hard to get? Exactly what body hair am I supposed to be removing????)
- how can I tell if a guy is in reasonably good health and still has functioning parts??? ( Men in their fifties start dropping dead unexpectedly from heart attacks - I'm hoping not to pick one of those).
