DRH: Your story just continues to be so similar in a lot of ways. It’s funny how these things seem to rhyme. I bet the folks that have been here a long time have gotten pretty good at predicting the future of these things.
In the dating front, I jumped in on that - maybe a bit early, but c’est la vie. I’m 43 and I’ve only dated women that don’t have kids of their own between the ages of 43 and 29. It’s been fun. It’s a learning experience. I’Ve only tried Tinder and Bumble and I like Bumble better. When I signed up I was able to pay $200 one time to unlock all the premium features, and that’s been the way to go. I locked my account down so that no one can see my profile unless it select them, which gives me some control over who I meet. I would also be able to let my profile be out there and then just select from the women that select me.
Some base rules in your picture, if you try it. No pictures of you with fish or dead animals, no pictures of you with your car or in your car, no gym selfies, and no selfies in the bathroom. Good luck. Try it out and see if dating is for you, if not you can always shut it down.
