Another matter which arose was the idea of senior dating. I said that yes, I had in fact had some experiences in dating, following my husband’s passing into the Light. I was of course new to these kinds of experiences and no doubt that showed! One person I met, a widower, said during our talk over tea and coffee, that he ‘only dated women who lived on the No. 1 subway line’, and that they ‘had to be tall’.
I remember thinking this was weird, but it grew weirder. At the end of the coffee klatch, he handed me a card and said that it contained his real name and address, and said that he only gave his real name out if he liked the woman he met. He was apparently ‘afraid of being stalked’. As his looks and general demeanor did not lead me to want to see him again, let alone stalk him, I found it very amusing.
He then pressed me to meet him the following week to go to the movies. I reluctantly agreed, and said as we left each other ‘don’t get run over before we next meet’. So then, before the planned date, he phoned me to say that, in fact, he had been ‘run over’, but that apart from a bruise or two, he was still OK to meet me on the date. I think I should have realized at the time that my psychic abilities might be working, and that this might be a good line to pursue professionally!
So we did meet up for the movie, and yes, he did appear with a blackened eye. When we went inside he said that under no circumstances would he buy popcorn (which anyway I hate) or any other concessions, as he knew that the cinema owners made a lot of money on those things - which he definitely did not wish to support.
I was finally able to extricate myself from any further meetups with this individual, who claimed to be a ‘catch’…..
