Romance
It’s Risky, Risque, or Ridiculous but The Over 60’s Can Find Real Love Online
I know because I did
On February 14th, 2013, I worked late as some folks without dates on Valentine’s nights tend to do. As I attempted to drive away from the deserted car park, my key broke in the ignition. I emailed my online acquaintance to explain my situation as I would not be home for his first phone call.
He phoned me with helpful suggestions, and we delayed our call until I was safely home. A year later, I received a Valentine’s Day card addressed “to my wife.”
A Spiritual Advisor Planted the Seed
In the fall of 2012, a surveyor’s report dissuaded me from buying my dream home. An emotional relationship had ended earlier. When I had my regular session with my spiritual advisor, I admitted my sense of rootlessness. She suggested online dating and I promptly dismissed the idea.
I became bored waiting to resume house hunting in the warm months and recalled the advice of my advisor. After researching dating sites over Christmas, I chose Seniormeet and paid for a six-month subscription. Missing my male friends in Europe, I thought if I could find some platonic friends, it will be worth it.
