  Hi there! Here we are in the Golden Years diving into dating with the zest of a teenager (sometimes with the same awkwardness ). Whether you're freshly single or have been wading in the dating pool for a while, navigating the waters after 50 can be intimidating. Fear not, though! These questions from my most recent YouTube video will help you keep the conversation going so you can move on to a second date and beyond!  When dating a woman aged 60 and above, it's important to ask thoughtful and respectful questions that show genuine interest in her experiences and values.

I had no idea how to even begin to fix that!  But several of the car dealers ( and their crews ) did, and quickly offered their help. Within minutes the rim was removed, and I was on the road in my car with instructions to return with 2 new rims and tires and a promise that the crew  would get me back on the road.  Now, I know that I have a God that takes care of all of my needs all of the time,...
