So last week during the post Valentine’s Day aroma still around, I catch up with someone I’m related to. Having a good conversation and they pick my brain during the call about someone they are talking to online.
Profile; the person lives in a US state I find very questionable (family member is from a very questionable state as well). Person tells family member to be open to calling whenever. I told the family member “person ain’t it, they are controlling.” Family member is like you are right so I’m blocking the person.
Now the family member has a train wreck of a dating history. They are divorced multiple times, been taken advantage of by most of the opposite sex they date. They are also very old, born during the Eisenhower administration. Does financially solid on their own, homebody, very socially astute.
My question; why do they feel the need to even bother with dating at this stage of the game? They are in the Peyton Manning at the end of his career stage of dating. They don’t have the arm anymore to have anything good happen. More than likely, bad things will happen if they continue to throw the ball around. Just do like the actual Manning and retire and go home while you still have dignity left. Don’t put yourself out there just to get taken AGAIN.
Why can’t people just give it up when it is apparent they can’t be effective in dating late in the 4th quarter?
Couple of questions. When you say they are in the late 4th quarter are you speaking about their age?
Second, what do you mean about both of them being in a questionable US state?
Third, how is the other person being controlling?

1. Yes.
2. Super politically backwards states. Not to be confused with politically bipolar states like Virginia and North Carolina.
3. Demanding availability whenever and threatening to cut them off if they don’t comply.
Politics do not have to enter into everything. Even old people like sex. People of all ages, Eisenhower generation and older are still out there dating and socializing because people like companionship and fun. What do you want old people to do - just lay down and die because you don't approve of them still keeping company with potential romantic interests?

I’ve always wondered about this myself. It seemed a little odd to me. Which is one of the reasons I’m busting my butt trying to hurry up and find someone - it’s already pretty late in the game for me. I don’t want to be 50 or 60 still on the hunt. Seems sad.
