We agreed then it wasn't much different: 90% of the game was and is knowing who you are, what you want, and liking yourself. Honestly putting your heart out there is key, fine tuning as you go. Happily married five years later I'd agree, a kind "no thank you" is just that. Be kind. Be bold. And, yes, the clock is ticking.

I have always gone with the "if I don't respond it is a polite no thank you" message at the bottom of my profile somewhere. I see now that a little complimentary message would be much nicer as well as something I wouldn't mind getting myself once and awhile! ;)<br /><br />PattyPatty Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07339219195628195964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-6604317015040048462012-09-24T07:19:15.770-07:002012-09-24T07:19:15.770-07:00One limit of online dating (which I love!!).

I don't think that would have happened if she'd seen my profile on line. Having the personal relationship was enough to overcome the age difference for her. My sister's husband just died last week. He was 25 years older and went through many years of illness. I can understand why younger folks shy away from us. But some are brave. When we buy a pet we know its gonna die on us someday. When we date someone a lot older we know they'll probably die on us if the relationship takes. You know they're thinkin' that.....Ronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-21278660291705782372012-09-23T16:32:55.081-07:002012-09-23T16:32:55.081-07:00Ella, thanks for remembering a post from a couple ...Ella, thanks for remembering a post from a couple of years ago. That former sex buddy/friend lives in another state far away, and though we've seen each other once since that time, it was a purely friend basis. But your point is well taken. "There's nothing like the comforting sensual touch of an old friend to keep one patient and optimistic about dating" is a magnificent thought.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your comment.<br /><br />- JoanJoan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423337694076541862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-27365173731006071422012-09-23T16:02:42.715-07:002012-09-23T16:02:42.715-07:00This is a little off the topic, but I've been ...This is a little off the topic, but I've been wondering lately --<br /><br />Remember that post you did some time ago about meeting up with an old sex buddy/friend for sex but you couldn't do it because you missed Robert too much?<br /><br />Well, now that you're ready to date again, have you considered giving your sex buddy another try?
