To my fellow Seasoned Sistas:
I am a single “SP” woman: Sixty Plus and Seasoned Perfection.
I have been single since 2010 when my beloved husband passed away suddenly. I have been open to a new relationship since 2015. Yes, it took me 5 years to realize I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life without companionship, love and intimacy.
Dating has been difficult because I know what a true love relationship looks and feels like. My husband was a wonderful man sent by God.
There was only one man I dated for a short time that I was really falling for. He was different from my husband and had some great qualities. It ended because he was what he called “technically ” still married. Although they had been separated for years, I got out before I got in too deep with a man who’s still “technically” married. It was hard to leave but my spirit and common sense told me the truth. I still think about that man.
I have had no success in the dating world. I tried online dating it didn’t work. The men were not who they claimed to be.
I have met a few men, but dating them didn’t work out. One was a long distance relationship and lasted 8 months. Unfortunately he had trust issues. One was the “technically married” man. One was only interested in a physical relationship. One wanted to date as many women as was available to him.
Its been hard for me to find a man who wants a genuine relationship, to see where it can go. People tell me all the time I am pretty, sexy etc. So, what’s the problem. It’s not me, I am mindful of treating people the way I want to be treated. I have a lot of friends. I like to have fun and don’t sweat the small stuff. I keep thinking all the good men are already taken. “I don’t Know”. I am interested in hearing from all of you who find yourself on a similar dating journey.
