Dating in Our Senior Years: Finding that Man and Keeping Him!

By Martha (Marty) Tilden

He turned onto the street and headed in the direction of my house. His car slowed down, coasted, and finally stopped; but not at my house He had pulled up to the curb that was located across from my house, and the driveway where he had pulled into hours earlier to pick me up for our date. Where he had knocked on the door and I greeted him after taking the time to make myself look nice. Although I didn't really feel any attraction for this guy, I was looking forward to us having a fun time. Now, hours later, we are in front of my home; but on the wrong side of the street. He is just dropping me off like a bag of potatoes, and I think I am in some stage of shock Finally, after the blood came back to my brain, I turned and looked at him with total disbelief of the situation that was now happening. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do or say. Finally, after getting all my emotions under control, I looked at him and managed to say, "Are you kidding me?" He did not speak nor look at me but just stared straight ahead holding on with both hands to the steering wheel. I'm sure my whole body was now in a state of utter shock and total confusion. Even though I wasn't certain of what the right thing was to say at that moment, I did know without a moment of doubt that I had to get out of the car. With as much sweetness as I could gather up at that moment, while still in my seat, I turned towards him, looked right at him, or at least to the side of his head since he still wouldn't look at me; and said, "Well you just have a nice afternoon."
