Dating When Older Than Sixty

When we were young, we paid a lot of attention to our looks in preparation for a date. Now that we’ve grown older (and hopefully wiser), we spend less time grooming ourselves. Having the right gear and equipment to go on a date is far more important now. Preparation is centered mainly on looking healthy and vibrant.professor

But before we get to the equipment, just a few preparation tips. If you suffer from diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or something similar that requites chronic medication, be sure to take it before you leave. Empty your bladder too so you don’t have to run to the toilet the moment you get there. And never admit to being on medication or any supplementary vitamins. Women don’t like sickly men.uh oh

The first and most important piece of equipment is a good sturdy walking stick; preferably the type with a hook at the top, like a shepherd’s staff. This can be very handy to haul her in when you get tired of chasing her around the kitchen table. It is an indispensable aid if she does not live on the ground floor while it can be used to retrieve objects like stockings from the floor without bending down. It requires a bit of practice but you will soon get the knack of it.wink

The next is a good quality toupee of the kind that sits firm, but it must be easily removable. Many older women find baldheads attractive. With the limited opportunities that you may experience at this age, it is prudent to cover all your bases.grin

A fold-up drinking glass is something often overlooked. A small slim job that can easily be slipped into your pocket will be perfect. You never know if you’re going to sleep over. Just make sure that it is wide enough to accommodate your dentures.idea

Do not forget a spare set of batteries for your pacemaker. Lovemaking can be very exciting and your pacemaker’s batteries will run down much faster. And while on the topic of batteries, make sure that the battery in your hearing aid is good and strong. Women don’t like to repeat themselves.giggle

And then the Viagra. Take enough for seconds and thirds. You don’t want to fade before she fades. You can use the fold-up glass to administer your dosage, but take care when swallowing the Viagra tablets. It has a terrible side effect; if you swallow it slowly, you may suffer from a stiff neck and only vigorous rubbing will cure it.laugh

Ok, that is the most important. There may be a few other things to make dating a smoother experience, but this will do for now. Of course, if you know of a few other nifty tricks, let me know about it. Your input will be treated in the strictest of confidentiality.innocent

It depends on the company. For the right person, I'd stay up all night. Ask S. She will tell you all about it. Her time zone is six hours behind mine. She only came home at midnight my time. We had so much to talk about those days.love

Angel,
I never saw her again afterwards. She died in a car accident about ten years ago. I don't know what she was up between us and her death.

Bob

It's OKay! Bob...drinking
Awwwww.....such a sweetie-pie you were to S love smitten


Bobikins would periodically sent short messages via FB Messenger throughout the day and just before he goes to bed, he would text me and if I'm lucky I'd get to chat with him for another hour otherwise I'd get only 15 mins with him before he sleep sleep sleep

I'd be fuming very mad very mad and frustrated frustrated frustrated

He'd then attempt to placate me by stating that he has a 88 year-old dad to look after and a full time job/business to attend to the whole day..... I said goodbye after 8 months but recently got back talking with Bobikins again. wink

We still communicate daily. When she comes home, I go to bed, and when I wake up she's still sleeping. When I have lunch she's having breakfast and her lunch coincides with my supper. No wonder I'm getting fat.laugh

Hi, Cat;

Wearing a hearing-aid would be cool as well. but if not would be more cool as he had to say "what you say?" and had to turn his ear toward his woman ... laugh
Hi Phoenix
There is some advantage in a hearing aid. You can switch it off if she yaps too much.rolling on the floor laughing
