Wow, it's been a long time since I have written about my romantic life adventures. OK, maybe not adventures, unless your idea of excitement is being in the 10 items or less line at the grocery store and you have 11 items!!!
I promise I will get you caught up on the what dating, trying to find love is like for us "over the hill" group.
Funny, now that I think about it, when you go over the hill isn't "coasting down hill" actually easier and more fun? Just a thought.

Report on Friday Night Date
Reporting on my date. I met him at the restaurant. I wasn't ready for him to pick me up. After all, what if during the date I decide I don't want to see him again and then I'm stuck in the car with him on ride back to my house. I mean let's face it we all know that happens.
We did have a very nice evening. He is easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable with him. But there just isn't any spark. I wish there was.
One of the things I do on a date is ask myself, would I want him to touch me, just touch me or hold my hand and then the BIG question, would I want him to kiss me? If I answer that with a "not so much" it is really hard to go out with him again. Hey, I may be a grandmother, but I'm not dead!!! So all you younger women, take note, older women still like romance and sex or so I've heard!! I'd like to have both before I die, with a wedding ring of course. Can't help it, I'm old fashioned.
Another question I ask is, "Would I want to introduce him to my children and grandchildren?" Would he fit in and be comfortable, more importantly would they be comfortable with him?
All these questions help me decide if I want to continue seeing someone.
Like the Meryl Streep movie, let's just say, "It's Complicated".

Nana Has a Date
I have a dinner date tomorrow night. We had a "coffee date" a week ago at Starbucks of course. So, I'm wondering what to wear, what will make me look thinner. The same questions that I asked myself when I was 20.
Isn't if funny how so much of this dating thing is the same for all of us at any age? It's funny to me.
He didn't give me "butterflies", but I have a feeling there may be more to him than I first thought, so I'm going to find out tomorrow night. If not, at the very least, I get to have a lovely dinner with a nice man.

My Grandson
Kids say the sweetest, funniest things. I was spending the day with my grandson, who is 7 years old. He asked me if I had a boyfriend. I said, "No, I don't." He said, "That's good." I asked him why he thought it was good. He said, "Well, if you did, you would want to spend time with him and not me." That touched my heart that my grandson loved spending time with me so much.
I reassured him that no matter what I would always make being with him a priority and that I tell any man I date that my grandchildren are very important to me.
One of my favorite things to find out about a man is, "Tell me about your grandchildren". I listen to how he answers the question and if his face lights up when he talks about his family. I find a family man very sexy. That and a man who loves God deeply. I love that!!!

Next Coffee Date
Well, someone sent me a "smile" from one of the dating websites I'm on. If you don't know what that means, it means he has seen my profile and likes what he sees. He's attractive from his picture and he's even in the same state!!! Sometimes some of the people who contact me are in other states. I'm not looking for a long distance romance.
So, I sent him a smile back. I'll keep you posted. Hope springs eternal or something like that!!!

My First Post
Welcome to my blog. Isn't dating at any age an adventure? I'll be sharing with you my experiences as I do the online dating thing. Profiles, photo's, favorite movies, yadda yadda.
I talked to a single (much younger) friend of mine tonight and he asked me "how dating was going?" When I shared some of my experiences he said, "Wow, so it's all the same no matter how old you are". Yep!! Only difference is we wear glasses, have wrinkles and sags in places we don't even want to talk about.
The funny thing is I'm also having alot of fun and meeting some very nice men. No "matches" yet. I'll love to have you share your "dating adventures" if you are over 50 years old.
Nana's Blogging Rules: No bad language, no bashing the other sex, keep it clean, be kind. I'm looking for the fun and funny side of ths adventure and maybe what you have learned about yourself along the way.
Worst Coffee Date: Before the guy got out of his car, I could tell he was disappointed with what he saw. A real blow to the ego. He still bought me a cup of coffee, but asked for it to go!!
Best Coffee Date: A very nice gentleman sitting at a table with a vase with 3 yellow roses when I arrived. Very sweet and so was he. But no chemistry. I still have the vase.
