Dear Queenie,
I joined an organization just after college and it demanded so much of my time that it was hard for me to meet women or date them. Most of my life there was spent helping colleagues take care of their emotional, financial and professional problems.
Now I am retired I would like to find a “special someone” but I can’t get women to date me because they say I won’t know how to adjust to their needs because I have no dating history.
Queenie, I keep fit, am healthy and reasonably attractive. How can I get women to take a chance with me?—Discouraged
Dear Discouraged,
You apparently spent your professional career counselling your colleagues. Now it seems the counsellor needs to consult a dating counsellor.
You might mention to those who complain about your lack of “history” that you have no ex-wives or -girlfriends to cause problems in future relationships. Sensible women will consider this an asset and those who do not are probably not worth your time.
I wish you good luck. And do I have to warn you to beware of scammers?
