Hey ladies! Well, this week will be very similar to last weeks report  I speak on the phone at least once per day but often twice with FWB ... I see him about once per week ... not enough since I'm not seeing anyone else in person  I text with Rob everyday ... he's a lot of fun ... I really like him ... we plan to meet soon thankfully ... I can't wait  I text with Jared two or three times a week ... I also reeeeaaaalllllyyyyy like him  I want to get together with him again so bad ... stupid pandemic  I hope we can get together soon ... sigh! I get so many messages on POF but they are all just not what I'm looking for ... most are pushing 60 ... ummmm, no. What's new with you? Anyone have an idea of a topic we could discuss? Link to last weeks thread |

Nothing new here. No new matches that have potential. Really kinda hoping Brad appears again but I’m not holding my breath. We had so much in common and future dreams/hopes/wishes in common. Ugh

A week via text and almost 2 weeks on the phone. We were in the middle of a conversation when he got a work call and said he’d call me back. Never did. Texted him a few days later asking what the heck was up. He apologized. Said he wasn’t ghosting me he’d just been swamped at work. But then all weekend went by and nothing. But I noticed he’d been online (Match) several times. Sent him another text saying just be honest if you’re done you’re done just let me know. He never responded.

On a different note... I FINALLY got my picture uploaded. NEVER did it on the old boards and it took all this time on this board too! LOL

I saw FWB the other night ... I made him his first quesadilla ... he's from India and had never had one ... he really liked it but he was weird and put ketchup on it  Good thing he's cute  |

I must be hitting the bottom of the swamp at this point. Ugh. And some of these guys crack me up and make me laugh out loud if they think I’m going to believe they are in their late 40s when they look like they are ready for a flipping nursing home. HaHaHa. |

I hate that POF won't let me choose an age category of interest ... I keep getting messaged by 60 year olds ... I'm 53 but I'm interested in younger men ... I don't want to date someone who is a grandfather  Thanks to Bumble I was able to meet Rob ... he's 39 |

I think some guys my age (47) really look way older than me. Even when I’ve been able to confirm enough to know their age, it sometimes seems that we are decades apart. I know I have a baby face, but when you pair that with someone who hasn’t aged gracefully and complains about how old they are, it isn’t a match!
I’m officially in couple territory now. About a month after our first “date” (in quotes since our first 10+ “dates” were at most walks, bike rides, or movies at home), he took me out to dinner and told me he would be hurt if I were to see anyone else and thought I was feeling the same way. I appreciated that he didn’t just take it for granted that we were on the same page. He also met my best friend yesterday and got two thumbs up from her.

What is the best way to start a convo online? Seems like Hi or Hey there are all so generic. I’ve read to mention something in the profile but when guys have done that to me it seems a little creepy. Maybe I’m just weird. 🤪 How do you all start convos online?

Maybe I haven’t yet figured it out. |

Maybe I’m just weird. 🤪 How do you all start convos online? I'm totally generic ... "Hi there, I'm Leanne" ... on Bumble I usually ask if they are interested in older women because they link me with younger men ... on POF I'm never the first to make contact so I just respond with a "Hi there"  |

Maybe I haven’t yet figured it out. I get so much interest from POF but because I can't specify an age group none of them are appealing  It really is a mixed bag ... I met FWB there though so sometimes you do luck out A good friend met her husband on POF ... Just realize that 98% are not what you are looking for |

Good grief! POF is never-ending. Guess it's really living up to its name. The messages just keep coming! LOL I've narrowed it down to 5 that I'm chatting with but I don't think I can keep up with all of them. LOL I need to start weeding them out.

I need to start weeding them out. It's ridiculous! It takes me about 2 seconds to delete them all. There are so many repeat messages- they just don't give up. And so many fakes. I really should delete that account because the caliber of guys on there in my area is bad. Yes- I am picky, but if you're laying on the bed with your hairy, fat belly hanging out, unbrushed hair, scraggly beard, yellow teeth sending "You're so sexy"... That just doesn't appeal to me AT ALL.  It's online dating, so I am visual- call me shallow, but it is what it is. DD34 is single and I have my age set at 30 and above. I send her pics and tell her I've found her a man haha. At least it's entertaining that way. No -I'm not interested in a young FWB. I have a young one- 55- lol and he works just fine. |
