So, I got asked out for the first time since last August.....by an 80-yr-old! ( God has such a sense of humor! ) I never expected it, so of course I was tongue-tied....what should I say so that I neither encourage him, nor hurt his feelings???? Hopefully, the fact that I continued to call him MISTER So-and-so, helped him to realize that I didn't (couldn't possibly!) see him as a romantic interest.
I used to think --perhaps-- I might get married again, but I gave up on that notion years and years ago. I love and enjoy my single life. If I had to count, I'd say about 70% of the married couples I know are miserable. The lucky ones, Susan and Galen, Paul and Suzann, have found that middle ground which is fortified by mutual love and respect. God tells me on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis, that I am SUPPOSED to be single, He has a reason and wants me to remain that way. I truly am fine with that, but sure would like to go to dinner every once in a while....
