Can Boomers Get Back Into Dating Game?
Woman Worries About Lies, Deception
- Dear DoubleTake,I am a 56-year-old woman who has been out of the dating game for more than five years.I recently have been feeling that I need to start dating again, but in the world of deception and lies, I feel uncomfortable.I find it hard to talk to the opposite sex. I seem to clam up. I don't know what to say. I start to put up my guard.I have been hurt in the past, and I can't seem to forget how much deception I dealt with. I would like to meet someone on a social basis without any intimacy starting off.But I can't seem to stop being afraid. Am I afraid of myself? Any suggestions?
