I recently lost my wife after 36 wonderful years and I am having a really rough time. Even though I am surrounded by family and friends, I still feel lonely! I am missing having someone to take care of and having someone to take care of me.
I'm not interested in jumping into bed with anyone or trying to replace my wife, no one could live up to that expectation! I think it would really help if I could find someone to take some trips with, cook a meal for, watch a movie with......I love to cook, travel, take road trips, or just curl up on the couch and watch a good movie.
A friend suggested I go on sites like "plenty of fish" and try to find someone, that didn't work out to well, I ended up with a 31 year old single mother wanting to hook up with me, I'm 71 years old. The other thing I found was that they tried to con you into signing up and paying them a fee so you "could see who was interested in you". I don't mind paying for things but I really get uncomfortable when I feel someone is trying to put something over on me.
I don't smoke, only have a drink very occasionally so I don't do bars, don't do drugs, am pretty healthy, am financially secure. Where do I go to try to meet someone?
