Recently, someone expressed interest in me. I was caught totally off guard, as this guy is 30 years my junior. We talked about seeing each other in a dating situation. However since then, he’s been pretty much radio silent. I don’t know if I misread the signals or if he’s simply changed his mind. Either way, I really do wish he’d reach out and let me know
And this brings up something that I think men of my age and dating experience (practically nil) deal with. I don’t like bars or clubs, I’ve tried the apps and found them horribly depressing, and honestly I’m an extroverted introvert (I do well in groups of people I know, but turn into a wallflower in groups of people I’m not familiar with). Don’t get it twisted - I’m happy with my life and where I am, but sometimes it would be nice to have someone to cuddle up to on the sofa and watch movies with. It seems to me I can’t be the only gay guy over 50 (okay, over 60) who is in this situation.
