Today I was grocery shopping and I was watching an old couple. They were probably in their 70's.

The guy was pushing the cart, and the gal was walking next to him.

I watched them check out. She was paying, and he was standing behind her rubbing her back while she handed the cashier her money.

I watched them walk out to their car. He opened her car door for her and loaded the groceries into the trunk. He got into the car, and kissed his wife even before closing his door.

It got me thinking. I want to be that couple. I want to be old with someone and experience life with a partner.

I want to be a part of the simple things. Picking out ripe bananas, planning the weeks meals, suggesting good smelling body soap.

Placing my hand on my partner's back or shoulder, not necessarily as a sign of affection, but a confirmation that I am there with her.

Opening her door. Kissing her.

I think maybe I'm too picky. Maybe I'm not. Dunno.

It makes me wonder. You paint the picture and everyone replies positively.

But what do they write in their profiles.

What is implied in this scene about the old couple.
In my opinion it says they have recently started Dating.

I wonder what they would of placed in there profiles, If they had been on CS.

Would they list there dreams; or what they needed to complete them today.

As you describe that couple, all I can say is that's the way its supposed to be. I had that once but cancer took him from me. I can only hope I have that again. That other person--that other half that finishes your sentences. The one who is there for you whenever you're down, who loves you just because you're you. Keep looking Goose - never give up until you've found your true love. angel
