The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

There's no fool like an old fool I guess....TBH i don't think I could have comported myself in a better way, so to speak. But if I get burned, it will be on my own back.

I think I have allowed this site to get under my skin.
You never know what could happen. I believe that things occur as they should. We're not necessarily powerless, however, the universe puts opportunities in our path. We can act on them or not.

I have heard of people falling in love after meeting on this site. I have even heard of marriages. Certainly friendships have been forged here. This thread is a wonderful example of that.

My advice to you is search your heart. Open yourself up to all the possibilities you could imagine from your meeting. Then decide how you want to progress.

Good luck to you, Quim! I wish you every happiness! 🤗💕🤗
 
Only finished half of the mowing. At least most of the dandelion are cut off.

Cherries are trying, but it's 43 degrees F out there, so zero insects to pollinate them. Peaches have a few flowers, but most are small buds yet.

Had to move a tree frog from the yard when mowing. I just love these little guys. They're so calm, and hide most of the time. But noisy when it's mating season.

I hope your cherries get their pollination on! Cute little guy! I'm glad you saw him to save him! 🐸
 
I don't mean to speak ill of anyone. I'm not suggestng that it's the people who are being horrible. I have come to find it intense.

There are people on here who are way more sexually experience than me whose histories are full of incredible experiences. I find it overwhelming tbh.


Correct. I'm not making a criticism of the site, just questioning whether it is the right place for me

I have opened up to a couple of people. Including the person i mentioned, whether that's a good thing remains to be seen.

i've chatted with a few people. Got my rocks off in the erotic chat forum, although i find that less appealing now. I even chat to a couple of ppl thru here on Gchat. One of whom is an escort. She has a history of the kind of sexual experience I mentioned. But she is a fun person to chat to, though I suspect - and I dont mean this negatively - there is a performative element. She even offered to let me be a client. I have never done such a thing and not simply because I don't have that kind of money, don't imagine I ever will. No shaming, she's cool and she is easy to chat to.

I chatted to a london based woman, incredibly sexy, who admitted she just likes fucking older guys. Regardless of what they look like. She even was open to meeting me, at her suggestion. But the realities were too much: travel would have been prohibitive. She is sexually very assertive, she films herself in sex clubs and sex shops and tbh I don't think it would have gone well anyway. Someone like that weould eat me alive!

I don't meet people like that IRL. Here i live in a very socially islated part of the country that has real issues with being disconnected. Leaningon Lit to be an outlet is perhaps unhealthy.


I participate in some of the threads in the Playground. They are pretty goofy but it's harmless enough. There are threads for people to hookup but i don't expect much from stuff like that. The rest seem to be a lot of older men dogpiling posts by supposedly sexually free young women/girls. It's a little creepy tbh.

I guess that's all you can do. Perhaps letting my guard down was a bad mistake. I believe she is genuine, she's very easy to talk to and convo flows. But, it is of course, in the context of online.

Rookie mistake really :)
Maybe not a mistake. Rookie or not. Talk a little longer. See if she will talk on Google Meet, Teams, Kik, or one of the various other sites. Talk there a while before you decide to meet. You can determine a lot about a person using other senses. If you both still click, then consider meeting casually.

I feel like the White Rabbit...
Not that I'm late necessarily but I do feel constantly short on time these days
Had the start of a catch up still left here from one or two days ago...


Google says it's a trillium

See? Told ya 🤭🤗

As much as I like a good storm, I don't care to be shocked awake by thunder 😬

rain here, too... 🤞 it's enough

I missed Kathy?!? Hey, girl!! 🤗

We've had an early stretch of 80s and almost 90s here... trade you? Or at least let's blend them together to meet in the middle :LOL:


Ah - now I understand the Child Services reference :LOL:

What? I missed it? :oops: 😥

Thanks for the heads up - have a wonderful visit!!

I feel like this is one of those rhetorical questions... or a trap. :unsure: Hmm, yeah - trap

GMTA :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

sounds... combative? :unsure:

Be thankful they're answering phones and not treating patients?!? :oops:

Does this mean you need to help pollinate... Wonderer Style?

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, in the days leading up to the event, the computer search history clearly shows they were googling for Child Services...

bones alone? do you have to keep moving it around?

I think it waited until you were out back looking around the apple trees... then snuck in front for the tasty tulips. :unsure: Does this mean you got played by a deer? 🤨

Yep - I had to back up and read that a second time, too :ROFLMAO:

We covered this? Daschaunds are the answer


Not 💯 self-building but pretty dang close
I wouldn't mind seeing Gerard Butler in a kilt! 😍🥵

Take the pressure of letting you down off. Plan something fun to do that you would absolutely do by yourself. Let her know that is your plan. Let her know that she is more than welcome to join you at that activity but that regardless of her attendance, you have plans. Let her know that if she doesn't show up that she will not be leaving you hanging. You will not be disappointed or put out or in inconvenienced.

My two cents...or less.
This is good advice, Mitt. I would just add to invite her. If she says yes and shows up, it will be a fun outing for the two of you. If she says yes but doesn't show, you still get to do something fun that you would like to do.

Yeah I think that's a good idea.

Online chatting i've discovered very easily allows you to see only certain aspects of people. Not just because they might not choose to say certain things (like, for example, catfishing). But because when a convo flows you don't really focus on what you might not like to share or hear, or what you might not have in common. Whereas in real life there are those little cues you can pick up on. Plus, it's real life!

ANd to you. Thank you
 
I have suggested moving off Lit because the chat architecture is godawful. She doesn't like it because other people behave like assholes. But we haven't finished that conversation and I dont think we're at the swapping phone numbers stage yet :)

I know. That's always in the back of my mind.

Of course

Most of the relationships of others I've known have formed online. Perhaps it's become the norm these days
Do NOT swap phone numbers unless you are very sure. Use an app that doesn't require you to give out your number.

I know people who have met their SO online. Two of my best girlfriends I met on Twitter. We've never met but we do talk. I've met other friends online as well.

More than 30 years ago I met my husband through the personals. The internet was not in use then.

I tell you this so you know the possibility exists.
 
I think there are so many that would like authentic, honest online connections, but it's tough. Speaking personally, I get turned on sometimes and sink into perversion, whereas I would not do that with someone I was looking at likely.
But what a lovely serendipity when your perversions matches theirs!

I have done cybersex, I mean it's basically two people talking dirty to each other to masturbate to.

She and I have done that. OUr first chat ended taht way. It wasn't planned or expected. We were just goofing around and it just ended in sexy talk and felt a lot of fun, all things considered. She said she enjoyed it too and we chatted ever since, not always ending that way. Now talk has moved on to a somewhat deeper level.

I really don't know. I have allowed myself to be honest and vulnerable so hurt is a very likely outcome. That will only be mitigated through straight talking and honesty. She asked me some stuff about myself that, had I lied about, would have led to a somewhat different outcome and possibly relationship. I don't like lying. I am not comfortable with it, but somtimes it can be the more better option.
But then there's the possibility that you'll be found out if the relationship deepens. I would tell you to be yourself. If she doesn't like that person, the relationship is doomed anyway. You just find out sooner and invest less to do so.

That sounds like a great way to go.
 
Happy Sunday morning everyone. Hope all had a great start to the weekend. It was hot as blazes here yesterday, well maybe not that hot but hot. When I went outside the first thing I wasted to do was turn around and come back inside. The water temperature in the Gulf is 83F so it is warm enough for these old bones to jump into.
Our water NEVER gets that warm! At the height of summer, the best we can hope for is low 70s. 🥶
 
I recall being in basic training in the Air Force in San Antonio in Sept. It was hot and there were days we did not train outside because of the heat. We had guys falling over during PT from the heat. The DI told us the best thing to do was drink a hot cup of coffee and that would cause you to sweat more and cool you down. We
My parents met in San Antonio. They were both drill sergeants in the AF.
