Delightful reading. Thanks so much! I'm sorta past the age of "dating" at 73, but man I've had a lot of long-term relationships with men. I never understood it because I never believed I was attractive until I reached age 45! But I have survived many difficult things in my life, and have a lot of empathy for others. And for myself, as it turns out. (Secret newsflash: I really would like to meet someone anyway!)
