writes:My situation is that I'm a 64 yr old female,on a dating site online, one of the free ones, I'm a newbie at the dating site, and on my first week I made a connection with a man. He didn't want to email because he said he only could type with one finger and it would take for ever to email me, so he asked for my phone number.I gave it to him, for the last 3 days since I gave him my number he he calls me at least 3 times a day. And today he told me he "LOVES" me. I'm over whelmed. As I said I'm a senior 64, he is 68 and he says we are wasting precious time, and meeting has to be soon (he is in another state).I honestly feel excited, and happy yet nervous about the rushing even though tomorrow is promised to no one.Hope some one can share thoughts on this..Thanks Reply to this Question

You're never too old to use them, and certainly don't give up on love. Learn as much as you can about this man. Talk. Build up some knowledge of him, and then eventually agree to a meet. You just need to be very careful. X

reader, anonymous, writes (11 February 2011): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThank you for your answer. I have been out of circulation a long time. My first attempt on the online dating brought me reply I did not expect. How lucky for me (I thought) he loves and doesn't even know me.. how silly of me. I don't feel sorry for me, I have been reading other questions and replies and realize, that it all seems like a game. I may be too old school to be able to find someone on line. I will just put things on hold with my "admirer". If he can't wait then, he cant wait. Life goes on..
I do thank you for opening my eyes, appreciate you for replying. Hope you have a great weekend
Hugs..

I love this site..:)

Please be very careful here.... You are obviously new to the online dating world, (you don't state how long you have actually been single) but I gather it has been some time??
I was on online dating sites for a couple of years, the freebie ones inparticular.. and never ever did I give out my telephone number after a few days. I would always find out as much about them as possible... their name and where they worked... and googled them, and 9 times out of 10 everything was ok. Some may think what I did/do is a bit much, however, you just don't know who you are talking to.. I wouldn't even give my hotmail, or msn out for at least a couple of weeks... if the guy was keen, I would always say lets continue chatting on the date site, as I don't like to give my details out, and that I hope you respect my wishes. I would also get them to chat on webcam, and ask for further photos of them.
You haven't fall in love.. sorry to sound so blunt... but what has happened is, someone has shown you some attention, which you have obviously been lacking for sometime. You are enjoying some male attention, no doubt he is saying all the right things right now, lets hope he is genuine and it continues.
All I ask is that you try and keep your feet firmly on the ground... these dating sites have lots of fake people on there... guys inparticular telling lonely women that they love them, and eventually get them to send money... believe me, it happens!
If you decide to meet up with him, ensure it is a public place and you let a friend know exactly where you are going, and text her to let her know you have arrived safely etc.
Sorry to put the dampers on how loved up you are feeling right now, but I felt you needed to know since you stated yourself you are new to the online dating.
Good luck!
