Once I signed up on at least three or four different sites, being the most popular, and going through the necessary prerequisites for internet dating, such as displaying at least one good photo, some kind of self-deprecating introductory description of myself, and trying to figure out what kind of people I wanted to date, I was set.
After my San Diego divorce in the early part of this century, and then after a few false-starts in dating other women, I finally set out to date with a more self-conscious awareness.īeing in my mid-fifties, it was not easy to meet people – not being a bar kind of guy -, and after exhausting friends of friends, friends of family, former girlfriends, going on one blind date, participating in one of those “quick dating” rounds at a restaurant, I came to realize that there must be better and more modern ways to meet women – and men – in this society.Īnd there is.
