A Smile on Her Face

The girls (both DIL and grandsons's lovely mum) told me I should get out, their opinion is that I have lived such a cloistered life for the last 10 years that revolved around caring, with no affection, love or intimacy and I should start to get back into life with a capital L. A few weeks ago grandson's mum talked me into putting a profile on a Aussie dating site. Why on earth I listened I don't know but my goodness I can't believe the response!!!

Wow, talk about there must be some life left in the old girl - funny thing is over 70% of the males trying to contact me have been under 36 most in their early 20s! I'm not talking one or two contacts here - this is anything up to 10 a day - at least 50 - 20and 30 somethings in total!!

Needless to say I politely say no. They are, to coin a phrase, only thinking with their male appendage....lol. I can't imagine any other reason that a 20 something would want 'contact' (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) with a woman who is turning 60 next year..... rotfl.

But I have been contacted by some mature men (some of who openly admit they are married and looking for a little action on the side) and them; together with the toy boys, have boosted my self confidence no end. I go out with a smile on my face and laughter in my heart.

And before you ask, yes I have had coffee with one of them, yesterday - a very, very nice man who is the same age as myself and with the same family values. Who knows where it will lead, maybe nowhere; I may never see him again but I am now living LIFE. What my girls and Tanya, Lindi and Sheila have been telling me it has sunk in finally - I do know that to some members of the opposite sex I am still a desirable woman (even if they are still in short pants) and dammit I love it!!
