In another thread I noted I am not in the "looking for" mode. This thread is amusing and informative.
Yet I am definitely in the "observing" mode. In my dance class it is well known I am a recent widower, as is my age. They suspect I am more than financially stable. Which is accurate, though I do not discuss it.
It is a lot of fun to observe the machinations of the single women in the class. Some are very keen on extensive body contact even if the dance does not call for it. Often the gazes are priceless. And there is always much small talk on dance floor. I do not get involved with anyone who is in class, in any after class activities. Next year, maybe, too soon to tell.
I have resolved to never do online dating. I met DW in a coffee shop,where we were both regulars. Nearly two years passed before we started dating.
Figure in an other six or seven months I may start taking a closer look. However, I have created a first requirement. She must be able to dance, something besides line dance. Preferably a reasonable facsimile of Argentine Tango. I suspect that alone restricts the field by a wide margin.
Edit add: The dance requirement pretty much eliminates any blind dates.
