Best of luck and just enjoy meeting new people. I really enjoyed meeting for lunch or casual meeting, walks or just a cup of coffee. --174.195.xxx.xxx

I met my to be wife in a hotel bar. I was fom & she was a weekend cocktail waitress. That was years b4 on line sites. At first I thought that was a nonsense way to meet people. But we now have several friends who “met online” and they are now married. If you think about it: is a great way to pre-screen. my daughter met your now fiancé on line. been together 4 years & getting married next year. If I had to start again I would not waste time trying to meet that person in a bar or anywhere else. I would go on line. saves a lot of time finding someone you may be compatible with before you start dating. Try it. --107.77.xxx.xxx

This always amuses my daughter. If you are hesitant to use the online dating method, I suggest that you mention to some of your friends that you would like to meet a nice lady for dating. They may surprise you with the woman of your dreams!! --24.233.xxx.xx

I think the websites you are looking for are Seeking arrangement for com and Sugardaddy dot com. Hope your wallet survived the attacking sugarbabes! LOL --65.116.xx.xxx

Was there COMPUTER 51 years ago? I dated my current wife 28 years ago through internet when internet was safe,, --98.110.xxx.xx

I think Melinda confused on timeline. 51 years ago there were no such sites. ray: there are sites as sugar daddy etc. ok if that is what you want, but there also age specific sites. --107.77.xxx.xxx

--73.120.xx.xxx

If you are a church goer, then maybe a church singles group. --73.120.xx.xxx

I'm not over 50, but I can definitely give advice on this. Don't ever LOOK for a relationship. Just be yourself and live your life, things will show up. --70.44.xxx.xx

--47.155.xx.xxx

WHY IS THIS GUY DRIVING A BRAND NEW 150 K CAR,.......AND I'M GOING AROUND IN A 20 YEAR OLD JAPANISE CAR ?? --172.250.xx.xxx

What NE said, the more you shop the faster you will have stings, it will happen when you meet one with a deeper bankroll than you. --76.188.xxx.xxx

Do a lot of test driving like in buying a used car but you can’t take him or her to your mechanic. --99.23.xxx.x

Never fails that I find a nice man who will gladly assist me in Home Depot (not talking about the hired help). Real people in real places doing real daily things. --72.199.xx.xxx

--71.104.xx.xxx

Also when I screen I look for a prospective tenant with a nice CLEAN car - a clean tenant is a good tenant. --184.63.xxx.xx

Pump and dump.... --104.51.xxx.xxx

Don’t be shy to tell everyone that you will give a nice bonus (something like $5,000 or so) if you will marry a recommended woman. This offer will bring the attention and you will be flooded with possible dates. --74.90.xx.xx

BRAD --73.102.xxx.xxx

Go volunteer at the Children's Hospital, then take some time to enjoy one of your long lost hobbies. --108.28.xx.xxx

if you want to meet mr or mrs perfect remember you are the one and only!!! --99.103.xxx.xxx

Yes, there were computers 51 years ago. There may not have been the internet back then, but there were computers. We both filled out some sort of cards and sent them to a company. He found his card at the bowling alley. Not sure where I found mine. But it worked! --24.233.xxx.xx

I filled out one of those long questionnaires years ago and mentioned fixing rentals and all that and what that got me was a 70 year old contractor match from Newark NJ so I passed on that one, due to Newark. Check out the site I mentioned, "It's Just Lunch". --71.104.xx.xxx

I look like Frank Fritz from American Pickers - I am doomed --24.101.xxx.xx

Men "of a certain age with money" can all find a female to suit whatever it is they are looking for. --72.70.xxx.xxx

Yeah --24.101.xxx.xx

Just DO IT! --76.189.xxx.xxx

Ray this is exactly what worked for J. Howard Marshall II. Google him! Have hope! Go for it! --99.203.xx.xxx

OR decide you do NOT want to get married again, and play the field - being very honest with each person that you do not want to get married! However that might leave you lonely later, I don't know. --50.82.xxx.xxx

Elliot---Computer dating existed 51 years ago. It was not what you are thinking of, people looking at profiles over the internet. Participants filled out a questionaire, and the info. was inputted into a mainframe computer, which matched up prospects. --69.248.xx.xx

My hubby knows that I do this, and finds it amusing - claims that he taught me all that I know. (Actually, it was Bob Vila and Norm Abrams.) --96.227.xxx.xxx

6 years ago, at age 56, I put an ad on the free dating site Plenty of Fish (POF), then promptly forgot about it. 2 weeks later, my girlfriends and I were at a concert sitting in the back of the audience. There was a man in the front I kept wishing would turn around so I could see his face. Finally, he did, smiling at me, and God's honest truth, right then, my phone pinged. It was POF with my match. It was him. We have been happily married since May 2016. I am now 62, my husband 72. These later-life hookups are the best. Ask the hard questions first, then when that's out of the way, get busy and put a ring on it. Despite everything sucky about 2020, I'm blessed with the best partner on earth and am happier than I've ever been. Did I mention POF is completely free to use? Go online! Meet people! Make friends! If we can do it, so can you! Good luck, and may your ideal heart-mate find you soon! --24.176.xxx.xxx

So what you need to do occurred to me. Find a woman who looks like how you described yourself. Most women look like their dads and most men look like their moms. It's a way that a pregnancy won't be rejected and how genes are transferred. So when she looks at you she will see a familiar face, dad, and you will see a familiar face, mom. I guess it doesn't work if people hate their parents. You said you were overweight so there are actual websites to find overweight women. Good luck. --71.104.xx.xxx

I’ll add to it...a 1-10 scale for character starting with Anthony Weiner as a 1. --75.90.xxx.xx

Ray: keep us updated...we all rooting for you. --72.180.xx.xxx

Have fun and good luck! --70.119.xxx.xxx

Roflmao Jane. See Ray: go check out the sites. Maybe Jane has a sister... --107.77.xxx.xxx

Charlie, my FIL married his second wife (age 80, he was 70+, she called him her "Boy Toy") who was really the love of his life. He spent 50 years with my MIL, loved her dearly, but when she died and he found #2, it was a match. --50.82.xxx.xxx

Maybe Jane had a daughter! --99.203.xx.xx

*has --99.203.xx.xx

Forgot to add that I also checked marriage and divorce records to make sure they are “legally “ single. --70.119.xxx.xxx

lol....we can all take lessons from Jan on how to run due diligence --72.180.xx.xxx

lol....we can all take lessons from Jane on how to run due diligence...maybe a cousin for Ray (?) --72.180.xx.xxx

Good thing Jane is still in Texas and as that far away.......................charlie --32.214.xxx.xx

There are so many gold diggers out there. On the same thing, I am not doing an Eddie Murphy in coming to America --24.101.xxx.xx

am happy I’m my wife’s toy boy....seriously Ray: there have always been gold diggers but don’t let that stop you from going out there. life is too short to be a hermit. --107.77.xxx.xxx

Still looking for Miss Single Wide --24.101.xxx.xx

Miss Double Wide would give you more to love and would likely be a good cook, too. Miss Single Wide might be good arm candy but leave you still fending for all your own meals, except for the ones you pay dearly for. Just saying... --98.122.xxx.xx

we need to set up LL dating site to help Ray. and others. just like all the other affinity sites. --107.77.xxx.xxx

--72.70.xxx.xx

Nicole owns the internet today --72.180.xx.xxx

Move to the Villages. (make sure you have all your shots) --99.103.xxx.xxx

just be aware the highest rates of stds are young kids & also folks living in retirement communities. --107.77.xxx.xx

My friend Larry and Maureen rent a place at the Villages every year,If you meet them,you’ll have a great time...............Charlie..............they don’t go until January or Feb................ --32.214.xxx.xx

Mph--- you are confusing computer dating with Internet dating. Long before the Internet, there was computerized dating. Companies would build a database of members and their computer would match you with someone in it. --69.248.xx.xx

My first wife of 2 1/2 years was like the tenant from hell. Luckily 5 years later I met #2 and WE started our landlord marriage. 50 years later we both enjoy our landlord marriage with all the financial benefits we earned. --99.23.xxx.x

you are correct Don. --107.77.xxx.xx

I think a divorce is 100 grand --24.101.xxx.xx

lol Ray....what’s hers is hers & what’s mine is hers so she can’t afford to divorce me. every time she says she doesn’t know why she married me I remind her she is the one who said yes...goes downhill after that. I would think that after 30 years together she would have the answer. I continue to be flummoxed by female thinking. --107.77.xxx.xx

At this point in my life....Happy Hour is Nap time --24.101.xxx.xx

--174.67.xx.xxx

Ray-N-PA -- DON'T SELL YOURSELF SHORT! I'm 56, 10 years divorced, kids moved out out and on with their lives, retired with a pension and health insurance, own my own home, etc. Put your best face forward and be confident in yourself and as someone else said, don't try to force it to happen. Wish I could meet someone like you in WA. I wouldn't necessarily say no to Frank Fritz, it would depend on the attitude and outlook. Jus' sayin. Sometimes you have to be your own sunshine, Sunshine! --73.239.xxx.xx

as LAS said Ray. put yourself out there. there is someone who likes nap time also. used to be I wouldn’t go to bed till 3am...now 9pm...no complaints from the wife...still pondering that though...methinks bc then she can watch the hgtv rehab or lottery winner shows without my comments...life is too short. although wife is concerned all my family live into 90’s and 100’s....pondering that also..lol. you are still young. --107.77.xxx.xxx

It is a shame that we are reduced to hiding behind a mask, but it is for the public good --24.101.xxx.xx

Just remember, at least we're having first world problems. That's something to be thankful for. --73.239.xxx.xx
