I think I make dating A BIG DEAL its just not easy for me at this time.

Practice makes perfect, but I understand, and just know, there are many options as far as things to do that you enjoy, and makes you happy.

Thanks for your help Tal. I'll be back at the plate as soon as I get my head straight or at least a little straighter. In the meantime I will do the things I enjoy doing as you suggest .

Back again. Just here to vent a little,I was going along so good into daily workouts , seeing family but today I am depressed and thinking about my ex . I started shopping online for my christmas presents for my kids and thought of her. I guess this is normal behavior around the holidays , and I know I just have to stay busy and work at feeling better about myself and I will. Like I said just here to vent , I appreciate the help everyone on this site has given me and I know it all gets better in TIME.

I must say that I idolize you billy in the fact that you are 60 and still in "the game" :-). You show great mental strength and determination in the fact that you are still out there dating. I am not trying to be rude, but I'll be honest, until I read your post, I never really entertained the thought that people your age, still go out on dates. It makes sense, but I just had never entertained the thought, and it is nice to hear that even as we age, people still have the want for love inside them. Unfortunately, there isn't much that I can say that the others haven't already said, however, for what it's worth, you determination to continue to love, has turned impacted my view of growing older in a whole new way. Best of luck to you and you will get through tough time, just keep your head up and instead of focusing on your ex during this holiday season, be grateful for the wonderful family that you have and for your health and well being. This will help you keep you head up!

Say man... women win all arguments... so arguing was one thing you shouldn't have done...

Sad thing is that when ever a woman asks for space that Womanese for "Its over...I need to move on..." Her interest level in you took a blow...

So in most cases than none man... its over... sad to say...

You'll be OK...

Thanks guys , I got a good laugh out of thadevilsadvocate's reply and your not rude. I felt the same way you did when I was 20 about 60 but now that I'm 60 and healthy I realize their isn't a hell of a lot of difference when it comes to trying to find a good women I have the same excitement and feeling that you want to be with someone as I had when I was 20. It's challenges my mental stability on occasion but hopefully we'll all meet the right one someday. In the meantime I know I can come here and share the experience and get the help I need.

Sweetheart go on your marry way, go out with friends and if something comes up along the way with another lady take it, you never know if your ex is really going to come back or not, do not waste your time my friend. Chop it up for experience.

Hi guys , I have not had any contact with my ex since she said she needed two months of SPACE eight months ago. I have been feeling good about myself,working out seeing friends and family and very rarely think of my ex and it passes quickly. I need some advise. This is my current situation I have been chatting with a lady on line and it seems that we have many things in common and I am setting up a lunch date for this weekend today I started thinking about my ex again and our break I know this is total BullS.. t thinking but I am letting this affect this upcoming date which I know is not right . It's been eight months I want to move on but why am I letting thoughts about my ex screw up my dating future. It is possible that I am just a little nervous about dating again and if the date goes well all will be good, its all just a little weird to me now.

Hey billy jet, I think what you lack is some confidence. Don't let your ex get in the way of your life anymore, she is long gone and so are you so keep going forward and never look back. Don't think of your ex. You're going to go out with this nice lady and you're going to have fun and a good time. That's the point of dating. To go out and have fun. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

There is nothing serious going on, so don't feel pressured of messing up or anything. So just be yourself and who you are and you will attract the right woman in your life. Yah it does seem weird to be out dating again, but with the right women, the ackwardness will just be gone and it will be the last thing on your mind. Hope your date goes well =P
