I've proudly got my yearly goals hanging on the 'frig; numbers 1 through 10. 1. Fall in true love with life partner. 2. Don't forget their eating disorders, sexual dysfunction, lingering childhood traumas, live in parents, substance abuse and financial disasters. 3. Get these stories published to save lives. 4-9 Blah, blah, blah 10. Take a cold shower, don't call her back. Who ever planned to be dating in mid-life? This is not at all how I thought my life would be. I'd love to be having a well planned evening at home, pleasant dinner, soft music, love of my life snuggling with me on the couch. Hardly; I am caught in this female vortex, with no way out. We've got to take life and mid-life dating with a great gulp of humor and a 'there's a someone out there for me" attitude. I've been trying, met some great people along the way and a few sad cases. There's some truth in these stories, you'll have to figure out where. When you get done with this little book, have a glass of wine and give her a call.
