You’re HOW old?
That was the first thing that popped into my mind when I received an email a few weeks ago from a guy who said his real name was Phil and he was having a tough time finding someone new for a long term relationship. I need to clarify long term relationship for Phil. He’s 82. How long term is a relationship gonna be for this guy?? Seriously, all I could think about was isn’t this a terrific old fella who doesn’t want to give up on love.
I said that to my husband with this dreamy look in my eye while I was thinking wonderful, romantic thoughts. He brought me down to earth in a minute when he flatly said, “Maybe he’s sick of doing the dishes and the laundry?”
Who cares? If this guy is having no problem navigating around the internet and can write a well worded email asking for help, that’s exactly what I was going to give him.
To be perfectly honest, we don’t have too many women over 75 (that was his request) on SexyAds.com. We do have a few though so I figured I’d do my best to help Phil out. There wasn’t anyone in his small town on SexyAds who was female and over 75, so what to do? Any woman over 75 who’s still looking for a partner and is on the internet probably would move for true love, right?
It turns out I was right. I helped Phil hook up with a cutie who’s 77 in Pittsburgh and they’ve been emailing. He would love to see her on video camera but she hasn’t quite worked out how to set all that up but she was able to send him a few photos. They haven’t met yet but he plans to make the trip to visit her in five weeks. Frankly, at 82, I think he should go right away before something breaks and he can’t make it.
I wish these two luck and hope they can find some happiness in their later years. It must feel the same to fall in lust even if you’re 82. Rock on, Phil!
That rocks. I think the one thing we all want is to be loved and it doesn’t matter what age we are we all have it in us to share with someone else.
I hope it’s the love of his life and lasts his lifetime…whats left of it.
You are so right that there don’t seem to be many folks our age on the Internet. We need to band together and help each other–just like you did for Phil! I congratulate you!
