Just give me a piece of paper and let me write on it.... " Do you like me? Check Yes or No" or let's just play kiss tag and pull each other hair or something....I hate this dating crap!

With the advent of the internet. Now people run background checks, credit checks, google maps to see where someone lives, google search to find the others internet foot print, you name it. People are too paranoid to meet in person before finding out every thing there is to know about a person. That is the biggest reason I gave up dating. NO TRUST from anyone.

Oh well time to have fun to fill that void.

legaleye Columbus, OH 65, joined Mar. 2008	Physically going on a date is pretty easy. Meeting people can be easy. Meeting the right people can be most difficult at times. I live a very simple life, no real drama with friends, relatives, ex's, etc. I have very few things on my "must have" list in terms of a nice lady for a relationship. But I am also not a drinker, partier, etc. and live and prefer a more quiet life. What I find over and over again with age appropriate people for me, i.e. women 50 and over, is they seem to come with more and more baggage and issues. I am sure a lot of men have the same stuff going on, but the lack of maturity, financial instability and family issues in the women I have met have been amazing. More so in how such things affect their simple ability to enjoy a date without massive interruptions, as an example.

Well not the same for everyone though. I'm not into dating just to date. I was married for 10 years and after my separation i had to work twice as hard to make it alone with my two kids. That was and is my main focus. 6 years single now and want to date, but from what i see out there, I'm very discouraged ....that's just me

Some of us on here do have manners and can relate to the same thing going on. Some of us actually do want a relationship that are on here. But then again, I can only speak for my self. When other guy's do that , it ruins it for someone that is genuine. Don't give up , and stick to your guns on finding a man with respect, and him having the decency in not being the way you described. Relationships are more than just sex , but some out there just dont care. Try dating single parent men,, and see if that works out better. Just a suggestion.

countryboy4279 Brighton, CO 38, joined Oct. 2013	I have mixed feelings about dating right now. I'm very lonely. I miss the companionship, and I definitely miss the sex. But actually meeting someone and trying to start a new relationship is very hard to do. The "getting to know you" phase should be exciting, but it really isn't. I have a very hard time trusting and connecting with someone again. I find that I'm very self conscious because I'm not in the shape I was in a decade ago, when I met my ex. Also, I have a daughter, and I don't want a new relationship to take away from my relationship with her.

purplerider1200 South Bend, IN 61, joined Aug. 2011	Very. I've been out of the loop on dating for so long, that I don't pick up the cues women put out. Heck, I'm just learning to look for rings on the left hand. All of my friends are married, and won't attempt to introduce me to other single women. I rather suspect that some women judge me as a player, by looking at me. Gee, I'm sorry that I'm 58, and am still the same size that I was when I was in high school. Then, as now, genuine, honest, hardworking guys that aren't spontainious and outgoing, have a pretty rough time of dating.

purplerider1200 South Bend, IN 61, joined Aug. 2011	File it under impossible to do. Unless you're well connected, and can blow off rejection like used toilet paper. I really think that most women stay home to wash their cat, than to take a chance at finding a date. Tracking down a venue that you feel comfortable in, that has single women your age can be a real challenge.(Unless you're an avid church goer, which I'm not) If it's a random event, then you stand a fair chance of finding a hardline supporter of the event. You then find yourself having to support the cause more than you really wanted to. That is, if you can get her pried away from her friends, or family, for a period of 5 minutes. Then pencil in how many players she has been involved with. (Or, is one herself) Dating is a bad deal all the way around.
