On Snagging a Companion!

by lucy on October 12, 2012

I have not been in the dating world in a long,long time.  I have a question?

If you were a 63 year old, single gal and chatting it up with a guy would you say this, “You know, I told my Daddy, I wanted to marry a pension man but my Daddy said those guys are few and far between.” Insert giggle,giggle.

The gentleman who looked to be about 65 answered, “Yeah, pensions are going away these days.”

Her response, “I know, these companies are worthless but I just want a companion.  Not really worried about the pension anymore.  I just retired myself and I just want someone to travel with, see a movie, grab a meal. You know what I mean?”

He answered.  “That is great, you retired at 63!”

Alright ladies or if any guys are reading, do you think she made a mistake with her lead in?

Wow, you can tell the difference between 65 and 63 ;)
Guess she could have just asked him out for a movie. Gosh, I don’t even know if I’d date at that age.

Just trying to see if she has an awkward sense of humor or if she comes from a line of people who will live to be still enjoying life in their 80′s and 90′s if her daddy is still around. Hope it’s the latter.

She’s skipping over all the preliminaries and getting right to the point, keeping their finances separate. This happened, correct? How did it work out?

Hmmm… I’m not sure, as I haven’t been on a date in over 2 years. Also, I’m *retired* sort of, and I’m only 38.

uh…yes. I haven’t even heard the word “pension” used in years – and it is awfully weird to talk about daddy at that age…

Sound like a southern conversation! :)

But please tell me they do not get worse at that age!
