Well you guys know my x dumped me on Christmas Eve, but the relationship has been rocky for over a year. It is just not working anymore after 16 years. I am talking to him since New Years Eve but we are not together.
I want a man that wants me in my life. I am 60 years old; these are the last years of my life.
I have been looking online, but these guys are all players. They don't even know me yet the love me already. I can't deal with that bull.
There is one guy that doesn't come on that strong and we are communicating through emails. He says he lives right here in my city as well.
Then my son's girlfriend is going to introduce me to someone she knows as well. So we will see how it works out, maybe I might end up with a few new friends at least. If I do find someone for me, it will be nice but I am not holding my breath.

when I am not looking I don't let anyone new into my life. My grandmother always told me that men won't come beating down the door, they don't know me, I have to put myself out there.

@winterose Enjoy the time that you have to yourself right now, and if it happens then let it be.

after a 16 year relationship ends, I just urge you to take whatever time you need, you don't need to rush unless you are ready to rush

I am not rushing but at the same time, I am not sitting back watching my life waste away.

I don't need a man to make me feel good about myself, I need a partner for life

@winterose take up a new hobby or go to a class....walks in the park ....walk a dog ( borrow one if you haven't got one ) ...people always stop and talk when you have a dog.

You sound like someone who can take care of yourself. You will be fine whether you just end up with some new friends or a new boyfriend. Good for you!

You seem nice... Hope you find the right one for you, since spending old age alone can be very scary..

I am not putting any pressure on myself, by my discussion you can see what has been happening so far

Best to be friends first anyway. There are nice people out there, but sometimes they are wounded as well and kind of shy.

I am sorry that it didn't work with your Ex. I do think that you will find the right one at the right time. There are a few good men out there.

The trouble is I am not finding any good ones, I don't want garbage if you know what I mean.
