Hey FS. Sorry for taking so long to reply. I just now saw your post about OLD. I am glad you are dipping your toe into the pool to see what is out there. I promise there are some normal people on there...you just may have to meet a few "abnormal" ones first. I have found that certain sites have different reputations for who uses them. Tinder, for instance, seems to be more of a "hook up" site...even if you are clear that's not what you are on there for. Not sure what is popular in the UK but I ended up meeting most people from Plenty of Fish. All of the guys I've met have been nice but it is definitely hard to find someone you "click" with. Still...I enjoyed the dates and it was better than sitting at home alone on the weekends my XH had the kids. I am definitely enjoying myself more now that I've found someone I do click with. If only he were a bit older... still have not resolved that issue in my head yet. Just going with the flow for now. Anyway...don't give up too quickly. Hope you have a great hike this weekend! (((HUGS)))
