I have to give shoutouts to Anne - my blog has been quiet as of late, but I feel the need to use it as a platform to promote a blog that I love!
The Internet Angler is a candid expression of the online & offline dating experience. Anne is the talented mother of one of my closest friends, and she has ventured into the dating world since the passing of her wonderful husband a little while ago. There are many reasons I love her blog:
- Insight into the male psyche: They seem to be quite similar in their 50s as they are in their 20s. That may sound negative, but it actually is quite a compliment: Men seem to have a boyish charm that is more stubborn than a red wine stain (if you're like me, that will be the analogy that makes the most sense).
- Us ladies have something to look forward to: Getting older can mean less insecurities. Some will still hang around, but you have a pretty good idea about what makes up your "WOW" factor. I also think you have honed some "skills" & put up with less B.S. than an early 20's version of yourself would.
- Celebrating little wins: Internet and offline dating don't have to always be about the cringe factor, but let's be honest: they do happen! The good thing about Anne's experiences is that she does express the occasional disappointment that comes with a sub-par date, but she also teaches us to celebrate positive attention, handling a dating situation well, or learning from someone and recognizing some of your "areas of improvement".
I could go on, but I think you should just go to Anne's blog instead. Subscribe - it's worth it!
