Clearly, I am very fussy when it comes to dating. But why shouldn’t we women of a certain age be fussy? After all, I’ve been dating for nearly half my life, now, and simply haven’t the time or patience to leave much to chance any more. That’s why I wholly agree with TV presenter Trisha Goddard who — with two divorces, and 64 years on the clock — said last month that she gave a questionnaire to the man who is now her fiance in order to ‘cut the c***’.
Aside from this, I’d love someone with whom I can enjoy day trips and holidays. Someone to laugh with. Looks? I admit I prefer dark features, but they must have a friendly, smiley disposition. And if a man remembered my favourite flowers are freesias, then that would mean the world to me. Since then, I’ve had several short-term relationships, and a few dates, but have yet to find someone long-term who meets my needs. People so often comment ‘Why can’t you find a keeper, Julie?’ After all, I’m slim, attractive, own my home and am financially independent. But the men I have dated! Oh dear. They’ve generally been one of two extremes: either very demanding of my time and controlling, or terrible at maintaining regular contact and a bit lazy.
I feel better for doing it and it’s easy to do: I just prop my bed up with a couple of books under the legs at the head end. I’m in good company because Elon Musk recently said this was a good option for sleep hygiene. Other things that are important to me between the sheets? That’s easy: I religiously wear an eye mask and earplugs because eradicating all noise and light helps me to sleep better. If a potential amour thinks this is weird, then it’s unlikely to work out between us.
Do you have a pet of your own? I’ll say it now: While I do like pets, if a man put their dog before me, we might as well stop thereI practise qi gong outside first thing in the morning. I get up at 6am because the light at sunrise is important for the body to reset the circadian rhythms.
