Alice, your date experience made me laugh. The part about her being a hoarder and talking fast had me ROTF. But, I'm sorry it didn't turn out better for you.
Yes, single baby boomers rarely have time for a relationship, myself included. I've gone through some changes since my wife left me in 2004. I've met lots of women that I found attractive, and had a good conversation started with, but then they mention something about their husband! Then there are some that I like talking to but don't attract me enough on the physical level.
I'm also afraid that any relationship that might develop will end up with someone being hurt (like all of the rest I've been in). It's so wonderful to be in love but I'm not very good at being monogamous. And being single is much better than living with the wrong person. Yeah, I have trust issues too since my ex turned out to be deceptive.
Living alone with a dog and a closet full of wigs, shoes and dresses! I'm selfish I guess.
