Gosh, everyone has such a negative view of OLD. But if we’re on there, other people like us must be too?
I mean, if OLD isn’t working for you, you should try something else. It doesn’t work for everyone. Or use a site that has more detailed profiles and isn’t known for hookups like Tinder .
None of my OLD dates were recently divorced or separated. That eliminated those issues, but did lead to me dating some Love Avoidant types. Honestly, men who were happy being married are highly likely to pair up again quickly after a divorce or being widowed. Heck, my exH started dating his current wife just 9 months after we split, and a year before we finished our divorce. (Not that I think he’s any prize, but his wife must think he is).
I didn’t date anyone who was still hung up on an exW or unavailable for dating, but I did lose one to his old high school love, so dating is always a risk.
