Why We're Single

I have had two second dates this week and have another first date tomorrow night. In the middle of trying to fit these dates in with my commute and my work day and my racing home to feed the dogs, I have come to a conclusion:

The reason many of us over-50s are single is it takes too much time and energy to date!

When I get home at night, I'm tired. I've just been speeding and watching for median-sitting, radar-bearing white cars and dodging inept drivers and very big trucks (not, mind you, inept drivers of really big trucks). What I really want to do is sit quietly, let my brain relax, let my eyes rest, and just recover from the day for 15 minutes. I don't want to be hitting the road again to meet someone for whom I have no feelings but the respect of one human being for another.

If life were upside down and it was up to the aging Boomers to procreate and preserve the species, it just wouldn't happen. Trust me!

So, how were the second dates? Will there be third dates?
