Ask Amy: Girl wonders how to change custody

The court might decide that it is actually best for you to stay where you are. Various factors include your schooling, and both parents' ability to take care of you.

Dear Amy: I'm 64 and have been a widower for over five years.

I started dating about three years ago.

I have met women through an activity I participate in, then a dating website related to that activity, through business after-hour events, local speed dating, and get-togethers. I've also spent many months happily on my own, because dating is a job, and I'm more comfortable now being single. But, after a couple of brief relationships, I would like companionship again.

I recently put up a profile with Facebook on their new dating app. You get to "like" someone and if they like you back, or vice versa, you can chat.

After a line or two back and forth, I ask if they are interested in getting together to see if there is more than an online attraction.

 

Twice this has happened, and no response. A third woman was going to meet, but then had a death in the family and had to cancel.

Am I asking too soon? Shouldn't both parties be eager for an in-person meeting?

Isn't that the whole point of a dating site, to actually date?
