After months of widowhood — after consoling family and friends had scattered back to their own lives — I decided to give “it” a try. What is 'it'? Online dating.
After months of widowhood — after consoling family and friends had scattered back to their own lives, and the casserole dishes were empty, and I couldn’t take another minute of TV programs written for the intelligence of a 2-year-old — I decided to give “it” a try.I was even born before TV.
“Don’t be too profound; it’s off-putting,” was the sage advice offered up by one of the dating services.Then I sat back and waited for the “algorithm” to do its thing and find me a match.I got responses from men from Denver to Ithaca, some from men not over 50.
Anyway, back to the dates. A few were arranged with those who hung in there and stayed in contact. I have to admit, my mind would wander, “Maybe this is The One,” even though I knew there would be a good many misfits in this circus. That’s how it started in a recent rendezvous I had at Peohe’s in Coronado. I was listening to a man reciting a verbal book of his life. In 25 minutes, he shared his misadventures and criminal misdeeds. Did he think this would impress me? He claimed to have worked as an assistant to a pimp and a “bag-man” to pay off the police to protect his father’s jazz club.
