After the loss of my first wife, losing her 25+ year battle with breast cancer, being together 40 years how do you start over?
Should you start over or just wait for the Grim Reaper to collect you for the next life?
I tried some of the dating activities, and I don't drink, on prescription meds so no drugs nor a fancy car and neither lots of money.
I tried a few dating websites, either very expensive, a joke or an introduction to OBGYN exams. Never have I seen so much of women exposing themselves, worse than many porno sites - no thanks.
I went back to an old standard of my youth, PenPals - writing to someone and communicating with each other over time, months or years to learn about each other, new countries, different languages, communities, food and activities.
I added a new twist, E-Mail or electronic communications. This was for 2 reasons, you can't read my handwriting (scribbles) and a wider access to many people, beyond just locals.
I communicated with 75-100 people, mostly women a few men, some were real nice and exchanged many messages, other were just a few back and forth, then nothing.
Additionally many were scammers, wanting nothing but to lead me on and get whatever they could from me.
