Mood:  quizzical

Dating in my 20's...oh so different from dating in my 40's.  I've done the bar scene, I've done the all nighters..and the I-hop breakfast at 4:AM, I've even done the 80's big hair (I miss that)

 Dating in my 40's.....Now? I like certain TV shows and don't like missing them. Bar hopping does not hold any appeal for me, neitehr does staying up all night.......I really hate feeling like crap in the morning. Spending hours checking out new clubs has given way to home improvement projects. Man hunting is no longer a sport, it has been replaced with other to-do list's....like cleaning the basement (ok, so that has been on this list for a year). I tried the online dating thing...let me stop you now, unless you want to go through a endless sea of needy, seedy and just plain nut jobs to maybe, possibly find a few that aren't crazy.

 Priorities change, we change (and should), but as I think of the future and being alone....it's not so scary. I know people just settle to keep from being alone.......but if we settle, are we cheating ourselves?
