58. divorced three years. the app thinks i want to meet someone who was born while i was paying off a car. i went to a 7am walking group at the park because my knees prefer mornings. average age was my age. two of the women were queer. i know because one had a rainbow beanie in October and then actually said it, which the beanie did not.

lesbian dating over 50

if you're in this bracket, are you still on the apps with an age filter, or did you give up and start loitering at walking groups. i can loiter. i would like to know if anyone has been on a date that wasn't a interview about grandchildren.

friends when the app skews younger

i'll take friends. dating is allowed to be slower. i haven't slept with a woman. i'm not asking for a diagram. i want to know if the nerves settle or if you just get better at pretending they did.

    46, so i'm adjacent, not in the club. the age filter on HER did cut the 29-year-olds. it also cut the pool to a puddle. the walking group sounds less fictional than my inbox.

    the nerves settled after the second date, not the first. first one i narrated the whole thing in my head like a sportscaster. second one i forgot to. that's the whole review. no diagram from me either.

    friends first was the part that didn't feel like an interview. i met mine at a weekday museum thing, the cheap ticket hour. nobody asked about my knees until i brought them up, which i did, immediately.
