I never really knew what middle age was... I'm sure I'm way past it by now anyhoo. I suppose I'm the "desperate older woman" you're referring to except sans the "desperate" part. Hehe! 
There’s definitely no shortage of men in pursuit. Not that I'm Marilyn Monroe or anything, cuz I definitely am not. I know it’s because I'm genuinely a happy child of God, bouncing along and saying hello to everyone I meet. I’m humming a tune or singing in the grocery store, smiling at everybody. Being a happy upbeat person attracts people to you.
I've tried Christian dating sites and met a few guys, but I felt we were more suited as friends, ya know? Which we still are. There are men in my area who have asked me out, but their lifestyle and mine don't mesh. And there was a man who recently followed me around the grocery store, smiling & waving to me, until I finally said hello to him. He gave me a brief synopsis of his life, told me the business he was with, and gave me his phone number. But no bells are ringing for me because he didn't say much about the Lord. And a few other things…
At any rate, it would be nice to have a godly companion. But nope, this ol lady isn't desperate enough to settle for just any man. If we can’t complement each other’s lives spiritually, there’s no sense in trying to become a couple. Right?
By the way, if you feel shy and self-conscious in public, you should practice making eye contact with people and saying hello. And smile, smile, smile. Especially if you have your eye on someone special. Jesus made Himself available to folks and they were attracted to His acceptance of them. They could be real with Him. Try breaking out of your shell and speak to strangers like you do to the new people at your church. Everyone appreciates when someone gives them the time of day.

). Seriously though, I LOVE your attitude and there is much wisdom in what you said (and, I somehow doubt that you are even nearly an "ole lady" either! ). Even on this 2 dimensional medium your warmth and smile radiates...so it's no wonder that you have men chasing you down the grocery aisles!! lol Good for you that being older (whatever "older" is for you) and alone (as far as relationship status) don't make you feel desperate enough to settle. Underline, underline, underline...highlight!!! <copious notetaker here>
AuntieAnt, I hope that we get to talk together again. Thank you for what you shared.
