Speed Dating For Seniors

Speed dating if you're a senior , can be an ordeal. But it would be so nice to have someone to share a meal. So we get gussied up and head for the venue and wait for the first gentleman to come into view. And the first to sit down has ears like Mr. Spock and the second one is wearing fuzzy socks and crocs. Five minutes with each is more than enough as they try to impress us and strut their stuff. Of course, we're all older and set in our ways but all of us know we have limited days. Still we are picky, holding out for Mr. Right. It may be called Speed dating but it takes most of the night. So check marks and smiles and X's for a few , but we all tough it out hoping to meet someone who will be the right fit, a gentleman and a scholar. Not someone who's deaf so we all need to holler . Now the guy with those ears might just win " best in show" and the socks and crocs guy, he'll just have to go . We say our goodbyes and hope we've impressed and we didn't waste our time getting so carefully dressed. So at the end of the evening we hand in our notes with those crosses and ticks to be tallied by hosts , and then we go home and hopefully wait for some tick marks to match so we'll finally get a date .
