Bit hard this one, I have only been single for just over a year now, BUT I have not been on a date for 16 years, I have met a 2 women since my divorce but this was by their choice, and it was not exactly a date, to get to the point my question is:, what do I do now, what do I say and do, I never had a problem when i was 17 but now I am slightly older I think I lost the plot a liitle bit

You have not lost the plot... so to speak.... just out of practice..... just be your self and enjoy the company. Get to know these women as friends rahter than potential lovers and see how you get along from there.... it will all come naturally ... when you are not contious about it....

No it wont, I can say that from experience. Also when you get to certain age like him and me you are too old for going to discos with your mates. Unlike him though I didn't have a lot of luck with women when I was much younger either. If you are single and in your 30s you have to make an effort to find women. Do things like join a church, a special interest club, a singles club or something to bring you into contact with other people of your own age. Also some other places to meet older women are libraries, museums, demonstrations etc.

who mentioned discos???
and it doesnt matter how old you are you could still meet someone in a club, but most older people tend to go to pubs instead.

When you feel you are too old to go clubbing to meet people, then I guess the people you want to meet are going to have the same idea. So instead of club, go to the pub and simularly minded people will be there.


And who says 30 is too old to go to a nightclub? So long as I remember to change out of my cardigan and slippers and put incontinance pants on then I cant see a problem with being soooo old and go clubbing

Im guessing though that in these 16 years you have talked to women? and got on OK with them? In fact you were married to one so why change how you react to them? Its who you are. So you dont need to change how you talk. Perhaps you mean what you talk about on your dates? LADIES - WHAT CONVERSATIONS WOULD BE BRILLIANT TO HAVE WITH YOU ON A DATE? (OK, what conversations that men could join in with - and we all know nothing about shoes and handbags, they are generally mysterious)

OK, perhaps pay attention to what they say as well, and remember to buy them gifts and flowers every now and then. Apart from that, be yourself. If they like you and you were showing a false persona then they will find out eventually and perhaps that isnt a good thing

BOLLOCKS ... i nevr mentioned going to a club coz even i think i'm too old for that ,,,, you go to a pub that you know isnt full of teeny boppers and just have a laugh .. dont go up harrassing females ... just wait and you might actually find that one will approach you

Unfortunately at the end of the day however patient you are some people are destined to be single,thats what ive found,you can be the most sincere and loving person and still never have any luck. People say it will happen when you least expect it,but it doesn't always work out that way! Plus if you dont like going to pubs then that narrows your chances even more

I went on my first date in 4 years not long ago. I ended up having a drink to calm my nerves and slightly over did it to say the least...Anyway I recommend not doing that. Rolling up to a date half cut was never going to be a very clever idea. Makes me laugh now to think about it!

I just go with the flow, and let the conversation meander. I'm still fairly shy but am fairly relaxed and provided the other person is an easy conversationalist, getting through a first date isn't too much of a problem with me... it's if there's a 2nd one I panic!! Laughing
