Hey Sophia
No AARP Dating site
From other topics I've read they once tried it but required alot to maintain & took away from the goals AARP had in mind
I've watched this topic for while no posts then today discovered many had posted
Some great suggestions & experiences posted Thanks
I tried online dating 2 men met not good experiences As another posted just don't think its my kinda thing
Have been blessed to make some friends on this community for which I'm grateful
Reckon I need to get more out there cause they are not going come knocking at my door
After decades marriage ended
Because of some circumstances don't desire get married plus in this last 5 years working on myself and living alone 1st time in life I enjoy my time alone and with my family and friends
I would love to have a companion to hang out with Eat and travel & do things together
I hold hope for meeting someone maybe even in this community I've seen winners of Sweeps that live near my location.... Anything is possible as long as open to believing
Good luck everyone & thanks for sharing your thoughts and hopes

It is impossible to just find someone. . There are too many roadblocks for others to see goodness, kindness and caring. There are so many people hiding in plain site. Until they decide to become visible, we are lost at sea waiting for rescue. We have to sing our own songs and act in our own productions. Yes we may sink, but our dignity requires being confident in hearing our own voice.

I have been successful with online dating. I have an extra email account not tied to my name, and an extra cell number (Google Voice). I always meet for coffee first (not a big time commitment). There ha e been an occasional false profile, or a scammer, but they've been quite obvious. Ask questions when reaching out or responding, and look for answers in kind. No answers? Probably not a 'real' profile.
I also always, always respond to every single message to me, whether I'm interested or not.
Cast a wide net, keep an open mind. A good conversation is a win for humanity, whether it leads to a date, or not.

I am 74 and been widowed 2x! My hobbies include reading, working in the garden and greenhouse. I really enjoy being outdoors. I do have a couple health problems I deal with with medication. I would like to find a friend first and see what transpires.

Soosie
I must say, you can't really make a blanket statement about men like that. There are those of us honestly looking for someone to love, care for, tend to and experience, and spend the rest of our lives with. Not everyone wants a subservient wife. In my opinion, men who want that don't deserve a wife in any context. Relationships of any kind are a two way street. Both parties have to work together on everything, except surprises of course. We are still out there. So keep the faith!

I live in Ohio so Oregon is quite a distance away! Although it's on my bucket list to travel to Oregon sometime. I saw a documentary called "The Reluctant Radical" (on global warming) and it was filmed in Portland, Oregon. It looked like a beautiful place. The interesting thing about the internet, is that it has enabled people to communicate easily from one side of the country to the other. Yet, it's very difficult for people to meet in person. As with so many things, there are pros and cons I guess!

To lw52674518 - Thank you for the compliment; I appreciate it. I don't claim to know all the answers on how to meet people but I don't mind sharing my own personal experiences. If my experiences can inspire anyone in any way, then I'm glad. Socializing is challenging for a lot of people and even more so for those who are alone and older. I speak from experience when I say that; becoming more sociable has been a tremendous learning experience for me.
As for a companion? No, but I have met someone recently (we've had two dates, so far) but it's way too early to determine if he's companion material. However, I remain hopeful and will continue to look forward to one day finding a good companion, emphasis on good because that's the real challenge. I've had companions for most of my adult life, however, not all of them were good companions. Not looking for another one of those.
Have a good day and a wonderful weekend.
