I have written about my disappointments with dating apps several times in this journal. After Karen passed away in 2021, I didn't even want to think about dating for at least one year. I always thought that it would be nice if I found someone, but it was OK if it didn't happen. All those years ago, my parents brainwashed me so I wouldn't even think of dating a gentile girl.
I did try a Jewish dating site, but nothing worked out. Many of the matches were from women who lived 200 or more miles away. You can't travel so far for a first date. A friend convinced me that if the intention is not marriage or cohabitation, the difference in religion is not that important. At my age, I don't think I'll remarry. At first, I thought I should only seek out widows. Someone else convinced me that I should not be dismissive of divorced women since the mourning process after a divorce may be similar to mourning after a death.
Since Eharmony was rated the #1 dating app for older adults, I decided to sign up with them. So far, the results have been the same. There is a chatting relationship that dies out quickly. Ghosted again. I'll stick with it until my agreement with them concludes. I will not renew and am not optimistic right now.
There are more important things in the world.
