L.A. Affairs: At 61, the ocean of possible candidates has receded to pond proportions. Not so when I was fresh bait. Now, they are simply where I wait to pay while ensuring I have enough Halo Top for next week's Netflix binge.

I burst out of the chute of a bad 15-year relationship and raced forward into dating as if in a sprint. Ita race against time; I wasn’t 30 anymore. I aspired to make up for lost time spent being so unhappy. So I set out to find him. I believed that I would.

Since I knew that Don was a far-fetched figment on my astral plane, I settled for men whose lives intersected mine less ethereally.Another psychic read my palm and said, “They don’t want you to know. It’s going to be a long, long time before you meet him.” The “they” she referred to were her angel guides.

Today, for me, at 61, the ocean of possible candidates has receded to pond proportions and is stocked with hopeful straggler fish. Not so when I was fresh bait. When I was younger, the lines at Trader Joe’s or Ralphs were dating sites. Now they are simply where I wait to pay while ensuring I have enough containers of Halo Top ice cream in my cart for the week’s Netflix binge.

Still, I am hopeful that everywhere I go everyone I meet might be a lead or clue pointing me to the right person.
