That's a big help.

Stop using words that are inaccurate or ambiguous.
Say what you mean and you should be fine.
I beg to differ. I know people who found their spouses online. These apps are just another way of meeting new people. Before you were meeting people at the bar. Now, with these apps your dating pool expended tremendously. There are a ton of websites/apps out there. it depends what you are looking for.

I think you have to be happy single before trying to find a special someone.
If you're happy being single why look?

Not wanting to get married has absolutely nothing to do with the situation of looking at the selection of men online, particularly as a senior.

Both my daughter and my old neighbor found love on line. Both are still married. Meeting them is the key to a yes or no future.

I would have been OK single, and if I end up that way again, I'll still be OK. I've been in a sucky marriage, and I'd rather be in no relationship than a poisonous one. But when the opportunity presented itself, I said why the hell not give it a shot? Sometimes ya gotta take a leap into the unknown.

Nothing wrong with leaving the possibility open.

Having common interests is key. Also honesty, as others have pointed out, and I might add, being open to accepting a person as they are.
Good for you!

This is also the best advice on the thread. Common interest, honesty, and accept as they are.

I did online dating, met my husband that way.

Right now, at this very minute..... not sure if that is a pro-, or -con.
