Should I ask Agnes out on a date?

I'm counting on not caring about sexual chemistry when I'm 80.

Okay great! Although some people are still randy at 80, so don't count it out. So what's the pact for? Just be good friends (and roommates) if you want. No pact necessary.

Yeah, maybe I'll just try for a Golden Girls living situation.

I know I would suck at dating at this point.  The last time I asked someone out on a date was 30 years ago, and I was not very good at it then...lol, so if I ever become interested in dating again I'd be totally lost.  LOL

I'm with ya, I don't understand how it works anymore at all.

I don't know, man, there are some great models here in this thread to try and work from.

Find someone you fancy

Go on the fan club forum for your favorite rock band

Take a survey to see if people you have never met think you should go for it

Send a text

Wait

Pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Listen to Kiss - a lot

That is one way.

You could also: Sit next to him/her and hope they do not immediately move a few spots over from you (hint from friends - make sure you bathed recently and do not have bad BO)

jk. 

I know what you mean.  I was a dealer back in the day but I am old now.  Not as thin as I used to be, unless you count the number of hairs on my dome...and I am much thinner than I was!  Also, crankier now...and I care about what people think/converse about.   

Upside is that I would not have to hook up with older women to get nice dinners and fancy drinks at this point. 

(If the women were much older I would be in Wob's bracket!  )

You were a dealer?

I dealt in the currency of.....well, current.

I never had issues speaking to people and connecting.  (I do this for a living.) 

I have my issues, as we all do, but making friends with members of the opposite sex was not one of them....in the late 80s/early and mid 90s.  I have been with the same woman since the late 90s, so being an 40+ year old man and completely out of the game for so long...this whole 'swipe right' thing would freak me out. 

Easy to make jokes but I can recognize that it would be very different.

So, I've had surgery and had to take out my two piercings because of that. And I don't know how to lock them by myself. So today I went to a piercing place in town to get some help.

And while I'm sitting there and this woman helps me get my septum back into my nose she says:

"We matched on Tinder a while back didn't wee..? You're Emil right..?" 

Haha. A bit uncomfortable. 

Clumsy like hell I confirmed that was my name and changed the subject. Didn't remember matching with her. And she knew my name and all.

And you didn't ask her out then and there because why? Just not your type? Sounds like she was throwing a door wide open for you and you turned and bolted, haha.  

Yeah. Didn't feel an interest. But I guess I could have thrown out an "lets go for a coffee and talk KISS!" line.
