Dear David and Roz,
"I am a 72-year-old widow of 5 years. I am very young for my age. How can I meet a man who will love me the way I am? I am tired of being alone."
- Virginia of Cambridge
ROZ SAYS:
Dear Virginia of Cambridge:
I think you’ve come to the right place. There are many men out there who have been married for many years and suddenly find themselves alone because of a divorce or their wives died. These men at this stage in their lives no matter how successful they may be in business don't know in many cases how to go about finding someone to share his or her life with again. But that is what SDE is all about. So put up your prettiest picture, tell all the most wonderful things about yourself you can think of, and maybe the right guy will see it and think you just might be the one for him! And you should also checkout the men on our Your Space, and start out by becoming a friend. Good Luck!

Dear Virginia,
In today’s global consumer society there is no sure way to know if such a rare commodity exists and if it does what is the best way to locate and cultivate it. However, assuming that it does exist, it is always an excellent beginning to first get yourself into a positive emotional state and create a generous space within you for a loving man to exist and a relationship to grow. Next through careful use of trusted online dating sites such as SENIOR DATING EXCHANGE and accredited dating services you will increase your chances for long-term success. In addition and probably most important to the achievement of your goal would be to get out there and engage in selective social activities, activate your existing circle of friends and add new acquaintances that may grow to become important new friendships. A dividend to this approach is that you will naturally be presented with ever-changing social opportunities from volunteering your time for a favorite charity event to cultural & spiritual explorations. Finally, add something new to your routine everyday while keeping an optimistic balance and your sights on that very special person who may possibly be waiting around the next corner for the appearance of someone just like you.

Dear David and Roz,
"I am a nice looking decent guy in my 60's. I’m a widower. I liked being married and I want to get married again. She doesn't have to be a raving beauty ~ all I'm looking for is someone nice, pleasant to be with, easygoing, good heart. Problem is I have no money and can't offer anything much except myself. I do odd jobs but what I make isn't enough to go out to fancy dinners and shows. So I don’t know how to make a move if I meet someone I like. I feel uncomfortable to ask for a date. To what? What do you think?"
- Really Decent Guy
ROZ SAYS:
Dear Decent Guy:
First I want to say to just put your best foot forward if you meet somebody you like. smile, chat, and be sociable, caring, interesting. Talk about baseball, she might be mad for baseball. I’m sure you get the idea. A woman who sees you as an enjoyable companion I can promise you will find a way to show she wants to see you again. Maybe hint how much you'd enjoy a home cooked Meal, and then shed invite you over for dinner! And the right woman will be more interested in you than in going to expensive restaurants and shows. So don't be shy. She might also as time goes on get some tickets to something and go to a fancy restaurant, her treat, if you have something to celebrate! I believe you have it in you, so let your light shine and I’d guess it won't be long before you're married again! Let us know when the wedding bells will ring!

DAVID SAYS:
Dear Really Decent Guy,
This is tough on several key fronts. First the majority of our society is materialistic and personal wealth is admired. Second as we age we all tend to be less secure in out environment and start to take more precautions in our daily lives and being financially secure is of utmost importance to many of your contemporaries in maintaining security from life threatening risks. So the fact that you are a decent man, a human being if we can stretch it, is your currency. Let your personality and your interests in others light your path. I understand it is difficult to go out and be concerned about the cost of a meal or those unexpected expenses but here I would be honest. A real human being will see thorough that to recognize and appreciate the inner you - a decent guy. To such a woman it is not important where she is taken but whom she is with and the kind of time you have together. Stay positive and away from the barracudas and focus on those women who are secure, compassionate and with whom you feel sparks whenever you are together. This may be enough to take you all the way.
