That's how you know someone found a nice guy,they stop coming here too often :) I don't look, not even interested in playing the game any more. I'm so busy with my girl and work etc.. Gives me a stomach ache to even think about trying to meet someone.

Well at our age (57 & 65), we can't wait too long! :-) No wedding date set yet. Probably the end of the year or close to the beginning of next year.

I never, ever thought I would feel this way again!

DEnise - please give us details....

I'm doing well with the fire fighter.  We have fun together and I anticipate we will be together for a long time.  We just need to work out the logistics - he has two kids and would like them to stay at their current school.  I live in the next town (only a few miles away) but have a larger, newer house.

We met March 14th on Christian Mingle. Didn't particularly care much for him on our first date but he grew on me. We are planning a long engagement since we still have a lot to get to know about each other.

I'm in no rush - we're both a little gun shy about getting married.

Hi Guys, it's been along time for me to be on here as well.  Denise2730, so happy for you and I know what you mean about gun shy.  I am still single, though dating a second someone that I dated back in 1966.  We dated 2x (I was 15 and he was 18), when the Vietnam War broke out and they were drafting our young men.  Mine joined the Navy in his senior year and I ran down, collected pop bottles and sold them to add to my little money toward a chain bracelet for him.  I engraved his name on the outside and mine on the inside.  Off he went and I didn't see or hear from him for the next sixty four years, until now Oct 12, 2011.  Two marriages later (we both had) and after my chemo treatments that was left with a broken heart whom my exminister\co worker boyfriend left me with and whom I thought was Godsent, Thomas and I found each other again.  He said he fell in love with me the FIRST time he seen me as he drove up into my driveway and I stood out in the yard to greet him.  He is the sweetest, most gentle man that I have ever had and LOVE was hard for me to get into, after all the hurt, but he made it into my heart.  He asked me to marry him, I said yes.  Though upon the relationship getting in the comfort zone, he has been gun shy at times.  I have had to reel him in again a few times to wake him up that he got what he wanted, now what is he going to do with it.  It is called adjusting to that it is real!  Now we have to work toward the reality of our and each of our dreams, if we are going to be together in the future.  He has a home 37 miles near a lake and has a Dodge Ram that is sucking up the gas, he is to turn 65 in July and it went into shock, realizing he doesn't have to spend the rest of his life by hisself.  We both have a lot to work on, but I know it is real LOVE.  When we are together, we love breathing each other's breath, I can kiss his sweat on his face and I love it, we love each other all over...it's wonderful.  I will keep you all informed when and how.  When I look at him, he is 18 and I am 15 again.  But the fact is he has a stint in his heart, he carries his 290 weight really well (tall and stocky) and he was exposed to Agent Orange over seas.  In other words he is scared...but it is true love!

Denise  Hope you are doing well tonight after your surgery today.  Take care girl.

 Mybee  I remember you said that you are getting surgery this month. When is it scheduled for again?

Hi Ladies  Hope you all are also doing well.

Went to a POF dance on Sunday. Danced with a guy. He was very easy to talk to. He called  me yesterday and we talked on the phone. Only thing is he lives 1 1/2 hours away from me. 

Also, went to Moffitt Cancer center this morning for a CT scan of my head. The Chemo Brain seems to be getting worse and my last chemo dose was in Feb. 2011. Wont know results until July when I see the doctor. Maybe it is stress.

Take care
