What do I know?

     I was thrust out into the dating game after I had been married for 10 years. Now if you have been married that long, its not easy to embrace the change from married to single. And for me it was extremely hard because I was the shyest person you have ever known. It actually took me a long time to even be willing to think about dating. How I started dating was going out with my single girlfriends to clubs. To date myself what I mean is, going to disco clubs. Really you think of it now and you laugh but thinking back, it was fun. For me I loved just going and watching everybody dance. Learning the ins and outs of meeting men, socializing with them and getting dates, going out on dates, what to do, it takes a long time to know what to say, how to act. I was a complete innocent, I didn't know the ways of the world or the ways of men. I didn't even know there was such a thing as them using lines on women. I believed every single thing a man would tell me. Even "what's your sign" I didn't know that was a line.  Everybody knows that, I'm sure you've heard of that haven't you? Things are a lot different now, clubbing is not the way to go, I'll elaborate later.  If you are a 40+ or 50+ single, wanting to find someone nice to be with or maybe a single senior all of a sudden, the world of dating is truly a mystery, its really a different world from what you have lived thus far.  If you are like me you are in the baby boomer generation and boy have things changed since I was in a dating frame of mind.  Dating for us is like being on another planet!
