Husband left for the second time - 8

[Adam04]

I want to learn how this world of online dating and texting works since I wish to meet someone someday.

Nicole,

It's not just swipe left or right anymore? Hm... coulda sworn my W was doing that before... Nvm, bad attempt at a joke.


I was told by a millennial at work the game has changed so much. She dates often by guys hitting her up in DMs on her Instagram(on one of her ig accounts, she has multiple ones, go figure...). I think from what she expressed, sending certain types of pix is so normal now. She said she could school me on SM and I quickly and politely declined. No thanks to all that for me. My eye sight's getting bad and I'm hard of hearing so I cant see you on face time or skype and I cant hear you on the phone, I'd need the person sitting right in front of me... in broad daylight.

My sister in law is getting married to a guy she met online. They both are in mid 40s with two kids each; both doing well. They met through a matchmaking site. There are a couple of people who met face to face like that and have hit it off pretty well with multiple dates with the same people. My sister in law probably dated a few years though before finding this guy.

I don't see myself ever dating again. For me after 25 years of being with someone, I just don't know and am okay with leaving it like that for a while...
