I have dated some men only to find out that they were married and I left before it went anywhere. In their cases, they said they were missing the passion in their lives. Yes, I was naive and didn't see the sings, but oh soooo careful now.
There might be mutual attraction, but the age difference will show up in conversation, taste in music or just the general outlook in life and experiences...such as not knowing Watergate, or liking Coldplay in lieu of the Who,etc. I could never date someone in their 20s or 30s. They're too close to my sons' ages.
I guess my taste is eclectic. I like the Dave Matthews Band to classical, disco, Motown, Michael Buble, Diane Krall, Nora Jones, Alicia Keys, Coldplay, Pearl Jam, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Eric Clapton, The Who, Josh Groban, etc., etc.
If a guy made made a love song about you would you be wooed by him? If not how would you feel? I am wondering because I am thinking of making a song about this girl I like who is in one of my classes in college.
[The thing is, I know that stare she gives me. It's not a physical attraction stare, but it's something deep down from inside. Like when she makes eye contact me, I am thinking she is imagining a perfect relationship coming true if we something were ever to materialize. It's hard to describe, but it's like I can read her thoughts. She does not see the reality of me and a relationship. She sees images of bliss manufactured from Hollywood fairy tales-love stories. She sees something perfect free of any obstacles that a relationship will encounter. Her stare scares me. It's not real. Her eyes are too young (she's about 22-25) and I am thinking she believes in fairy tales in which a relationship is based on illusory eggshells. I see the expectations project from her eyes. I see a reflection of a character epitomizing chivalry when I look against her eyes. I don't want that kind pressure on me. Been there, done that. But then again, I could be totally wrong and maybe just looking through refracted eyes of my own.]

What is wrong with these guys? We older women can't look like we did when we were in our 20's. Why do these guys lie about what they look like but yet they are searching for a young honey. Go figure!! I think they are truly living in a total fantasy world. I'm going to be 62 in a couple of weeks and my friends say I look maybe 50.........excuse me are we chopped liver??? Let's hear from all of you older ladies, what are your views on this?
I do agree with you to a point. I have met men who want a Barbie and men who truly want to get to know you as a person. The latter, ....not often enough.
IMO...some men look good bald, some don't. I prefer you with hair. I agree with Lagoona "beautiful is beautiful", but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :)
No, you are not old fashioned...there are guys that cheat...there are women that cheat. I for one, am among those that won't cheat. Never have...never will. It's not my nature. I would rather cut my ties and end it, than cheat. You're playing with people's feelings when you cheat.
I always think of it as .... it was just not meant to be and that life has greater plans for us...there's a quote somewhere that states.... People come into our lives for a reason, whether it be only for a moment or a lifetime
So sorry for your loss. You should remember the good times with your dad and share them with your son on his birthday. I can empathize with you. My husband passed away almost two years ago and my sister and him share the same birth date. So...celebrate with her or reflect on my husband's death? I find doing both helps.
