dating after 60
– Rhonda, what’s your question for us today? – My question for you is, I need some help navigating the dating world today. I was married for 35 years, and in my marriage, I didn’t feel like there was that passion that you hear about. We were more like friends, and I would like to find that connection, and find like how you can tell who a good relationship type guy is. I have tried online dating, and– – How’s that going? – (laughs) It’s– (audience laughs) I met someone online, we talked, exchanged phone numbers, and he asked me to meet him at a restaurant, and so I met him at a restaurant, and we had a great time. Nice looking, good chemistry, and I thought this is great, finally, and he walked me out to my car, and he hugged me, he didn’t even kiss me, and I got in my car, and I’m driving home, and you’re not supposed to do this, but I noticed I had a text, and I saw it was from him, and it said, "I just wanna be friends with benefits." And so– – And I would suggest an immediate block. – Bye. – No, what I did say to him is, "When did we become friends?" – Oh, I know that’s right. (audience cheers) That was a great answer, great answer. – Rhonda, we wanna see the profile you had for the online dating. I think we have it, can we put that on the screen? – Oh. – Ooh, what do you think of that, Rosie? – Okay so coming from a place that I’ve done a lot of online dating. One thing, number one I could tell you, you have to be very specific. So when you put the word adventurous, men are gonna think about that, what kind of adventurous woman are you. So you have to be very careful what you put out there, ’cause you’re gonna attract that man that only wants friends with benefits, or maybe a one night stand, so – Good point. – I think be very clear of who you are, adventurous about what, and you know what, you can be flirty, and put those kinds of things out, but that’s the number one thing that pops out to me. Number two, you say about finding a relationship, don’t go out looking for love. Live your best life. Go out with your friends, go out to church, go out and do your hobbies, just live your best life, and in the right timing, you will attract the right person, because they’re gonna be attracted to someone who’s looking with purpose. – And Rhonda, it’s important to think a little bit about the types of questions you’re asking people when you’re getting to know them on a date. And obviously this is not an interrogation, this should ideally unfold over a series of several dates. You really can’t have a long-lasting relationship unless your values, and where you wanna go in life, and what things you find important, like honesty and integrity, are all matched up. Just remember that going forward, I think you’re gonna do a wonderful job. – And my only advice is when you find him, see if he’s got a brother, ’cause I’m in the same boat. (audience laughs) – And on that note, Rhonda, we wish you the best. You’re a beautiful woman, take your time, and you will meet your king sooner or later, okay? ‘Cause that’s what you deserve. …
