After my divorce in 2001 I spent a good amount of my time redefining and refocusing my life. I found myself in the same place many other women before me had found themselves, alone, little money, and without a partner. The first few years I was busy moving, changing places of employment, and welcoming my granddaughter into the world.
A handsome man would catch my eye and I would give contemplation of pursuit. Mentally I would find the many reasons why I wasn't interested in dating. Most men in my age group were looking for women twenty years my junior or they were still living with their mother or they were looking for someone to raise their elementary school children since their wife had past. I catalogued and categorized dating in my head, shook my head vehemently no when these situations came up and continued happily and safely down my path of solitude.
