Dear David and Roz,
"I am a 75-year-old man and I have a lady friend who is 20 years younger. “Friend” is the key word here because as much as I try I can't get her interested in being serious with me. She says I'm an old codger and she's got her whole life ahead of her and wants to settle down with somebody who can still “do it'” I know I can still “do it'” because I tried it with a paid lady one night and it worked out just fine. But that's not what I want. I’d like to get married again, and I like this woman, she’s a lot of fun. I take her to shows and we dance and wine and dine, even have traveled together {separate bedrooms!}. I don't know what to do She must like me or why would she go out with me when I ask her. Give me some advice."

Dear Likeable fellow,
You're right. The lady “friend” doesn’t dislike you or she wouldn't be seeing you as you say. But at 55 its not all that easy to find that really great guy and you sound to me like you fill the bill even though she doesn't see it. I think she's holding out for a dream. That doesn’t mean dreams don't come true sometimes but the chances are that if you stick with it you'll wear her down and she'll see you as her Prince Charming after all. And since you seem to have the money to do all the fun things you do with her perhaps a few extra glasses of champagne might do the trick. At which point you can get down on one knee and present her with a beautiful bauble for her third finger left hand! Let us know how you make out!

DAVID SAYS:
Dear Likeable Fellow,
Stop beating around this bush. This woman likes it the way it is now, so look elsewhere for a relationship that possesses balance and harmony. You have had a long life; she is a good companion so perhaps you should help each other with introductions or perusing interesting faces found on a good on-line dating site or getting out onto new environments and becoming active participants in local senior dating events.

Dear David and Roz,
"My son just married the loveliest girl in the world. At the wedding her father's old friend from his college days came to the wedding from Alaska where he lives and he and I hit it off just great we 're about the same age. He's a widower and I'm a widow. I could see something could happen here. There’s definitely a spark. But I can’t see myself moving to Alaska! What do I do? I’m afraid to get too involved but it’s so tempting. I have nobody else in my life and I would love to be a twosome again! He’s staying around here in California for a while visiting his old friend he said, that his son is taking care of the family business and he doesn't have to rush back. Help! I feel like a 16 year old."
ROZ SAYS:
Dear Feeling 16,
I say give it a chance. California and Alaska are not that far apart - at least they're both on the west coast! And if his son is running the family business and he can hang out with his old friend in California it may be that he's already been thinking he might like to make a few changes in his life, like maybe move to California! So see where it goes, don’t be afraid. If it’s right it will all work out for both of you. How nice maybe that your son’s lovely new wife might be the catalyst for a wonderful new relationship for you too. You won't know till you try. So, go to it!

DAVID SAYS:
Dear Feeling 16,
What is there to debate? He’s there, you are there. He makes you feel so young. Enjoy the time you have together. Show him the time of his life while sorting through the big elements of compatibility. You haven’t been invited yet, so for now Alaska is not an option. Who knows you may be enjoying the best of both worlds alternating seasonal residences in California & Alaska. Try to stay focused in the moment and I am sure all things will workout for the best.
