      12:26:40     From Steve Gurney - ProAging Community : took a “dating class” and was impressed Erika Ettin (202.716.8343) a Dating Coach    

      Email Ericka Ettin: [email protected]

      12:26:47     From Jeanina DiVittorio : Kathleen, I admire you for sharing your personal experience about this vulnerable aspect of life.  I am happily married yet my college roommate, who is single and just turned 60, and I talk so much about this "process".  Can't wait to share this with her and with other friends and family!

      12:29:25     From Pat Lauria : Can't be newly divorced!  Or separated.

      12:39:36     From Steve Gurney - ProAging Community : If you want to gracefully end a conversation or interaction in online dating, you could say something like:

      "I’ve enjoyed our conversation, but I’m realizing that I don’t think we’re the right match. Wishing you all the best in your search!"

      This approach is polite, clear, and leaves the door open for both parties to move on without any hard feelings.

      12:40:34     From zahida hasan : perfect

      12:43:03     From zahida hasan : there are cultural specific sites too

      12:45:56     From Steve Xxx  to  Hosts and panelists : Since there are so many scammers on the web I would never give out my last name to anyone till I’ve met them a few times.  Some people might view this as a red flag but my safety is of utmost importance.  What are you thought on this

      12:46:00     From Marianne Thomas  to  Hosts and panelists : I received a text from someone who said, “Getting your number was hard to find. Do you have time for dinner”. No name and area code from someplace like Utah. I deleted it.

      12:52:48     From Steve Gurney - ProAging Community : Culturally specific dating sites cater to individuals looking to connect with others who share similar cultural, ethnic, or religious backgrounds. Here’s a list of some popular cultural or niche dating sites:
