So I'm back on the OLD... in therapy too. I've said my goodbyes to that one person and accepted the situation. Been swiping the apps like a video game too. A couple of weird matches here and there. Weird in the sense.... way the fuck down in the USA and I'min Canada. My apps keep running out of people. So they extend the distance on the preferences. I could never move to the states. Not now really. My son is too young and needs me. But I have to ask you my fellow 50s people.... how far are you willing to go for a long distance relationship? Or do you do the online relationship thing? Or do you do the fly to fling? Or do you keep swiping on the same people, hoping they'll just give in and give you a date... I've done that one. Same beautiful, successful, professional career women and I'm hoping they'll cuddle this blue-collar Bear. Anyway... what do you do when the pool is empty?

Can we NOT put kids in dating profiles!!?? A coworker dated a guy and found out about him being a pedo. I won't give details but luckily he never met her daughter. But she did put a photo of herself with her daughter on the dating app. She realizes now how stupid this was. He got arrested and released same week. She's had to move from her apartment too. Seriously people... you don't know who's on the OLD. People are fucked up.

In a recent event in my life, I've realized I'm not ready for any of this. As much as I enjoyed the positive vibe of Costco Thursdays, but I just can't do it anymore. I'm still too hung up on an ex girlfriend that has effected my daily thoughts and rhythms. I know I'm the one that messed up that relationship but I'm still trapped. So... I'm taking a break from going in the wild to meet anyone and I'm definitely off OLD. But I ask you to continue your brave and silly romantic ideals to find your person. Be kind to each other, support each other, and just be the awesome people that you really are. Peace.

Does anyone else have this right now? Trying to move forward, better myself, get myself back to the good guy I once was. And an ex pops up on the Boo dating app. For the second time. Not as a match but just as the suggested match. The first time I swiped right and left a message... no response for a month. I took it as a sign. I canceled my subscription to be done with it and move on. It hurt to do it but it was done. But my credit card had been billed again. So I had to open the app again and build a profile... again. And she popped up. Ugh... the heart. The damb, stupid fucking heart wouldn't stop beating for this woman. FUCK! I was going to match again with Kitten again (not her real name) but my profile is stuck on verifying my photo. So the universe just keeps flicking it's finger at my forehead and laughs I guess. Dammit. My life sucks.
