I'm really hurting after my wife's unexpected death. I would like to chat with a local person. Maybe date when I am ready. I am sad, lonely, and feel cheated. I have spoken with a few counselors who have been kind and tried to make me feel better. It is totally too soon, but I thought I could try to find a friend that could let us help each other with talking or text. I am 80 years old, not in the greatest shape but healthy for an old dude. I retired as an engineer about ten years ago, love to travel and see new sights. I read, mostly non-fiction, and enjoy cooking. I am mostly the mild-mannered Clark Kent type. I have a Masters Degree and generally do my own taxes, using HRB Software. I live in the flats of Saratoga, near Prospect High. I like neatness and organization, but I am too lazy to practice it. I have a grey beard and bald top. About 200 pounds and shrunken to 5-10 or so. Looks - children do not run from me so I guess I am not scary or ugly. I am interested in trying this site. if it does not work, then there is limited risk. rob you. For a woman who knows me, I am safe. I will not beat you, rob you, or trick you into something you do not want. Feel free to write.
