Don, there may not be an answer to your questions...sometimes things happen and sometimes they don't. I don't see anything wrong with you reaching out to women you think might be interested but, when doing so, you have to be ready to accept a lot of rejection. I had a friend in my younger days who used to say that one in ten women would say yes to him...so every time a woman said no he felt excited because he knew he was one closer to that number ten who was going to say yes! I also think that at our age women are not as eager as they once were. If you're single at this age then you've been through some sh*t and that baggage is hard to carry sometimes. Women are scared and maybe a little reluctant to get out there again. Anyway, good luck with it...I've got squirrels to chase lol.
