i’m old fashioned. or just old.
50’s is not the new forties for me.
i told a guy i would enjoy dating him. now it has dawned on me, in the world today that might include being intimate.
i’m not sure ow one goes from zero to flying. how does one cold call that.
or maybe it’s not assumed now days.
geez. my son says he’s a respected wild man, and that sounds fine.
i just worry i’ll seem like granny from the beverly hillbillies (the original), as if i don’t know the score,
which i don’t 
p.s. a peculator was a coffee maker that boiled the water
You don’t have to be sexually involved if you’re dating someone. If you’re not ready, let him know that. There are still people in the world who don’t have sex until after marriage. It’s not so common anymore but it still exists. Do what’s right and comfortable for you. If he’s worth your time, he’ll respect your wishes.
well I’m happy for you !! I agree with Pianogal. set boundaries and then no one gets hurt down the road.
Man, this is a golden opportunity to have sex and practice your sex skills. The pressure is on the guy, not you. He is expected to make the first move and take charge.Let him take charge and just relax. Isn’t there a chance for you that it could actually be fun?
@eilyn. I’m dealing with the same issues. I was 55 when my husband passed away. Found myself alone at an older age. The dating world is different. I agree with pianogal just be yourself and set your own boundaries so you’re more comfortable and aren’t hurt later.
i want long term friendships. i can feel good alone.
i think as i’ve aged i need a ride from surgery more than a good time.
i do love the enthusiam and good health of you youngers. enjoy that while it’s available.
