Have any of you dated lately? Handling aloneness ok? We are few on here. I have given up on ever finding a mate. Low fixed income, toxic family of origin, having to care for very difficult anti-social, controlling 94 yo father old car. Cding. I would like to platonic date once in a blue moon, before i go back to the dust. A poor man, cd or not, has little, or no chance for marriage, but an occasional date, would help, in dealing with the solitude. Maybe, when i am in a nursing home, i will find "her". I had an uncle who was lifetime bachelor, and he got to meet nursing home ladies. Trouble is, all in wheelchairs, and elderly, but he was, too. Cding would be pretty much finished, in a nursing home, too. I would not want to do it there, with no privacy. My 94 yo very difficult father, has a woman who actually is nuts about him, in the last nursing home he was in! And, i am 60, and have not dated in many years! Just wondered if some of the singles would check in, say how you are doing, if you feel up to sharing. I know, it is tough, for some, not bad for others.
