DAVID'S PLACE:

I am someone who understands inner torment and can connect to many people who suffer from depression, anxiety, and addictions.  The right person and the right words can be critical to finding relief.  I am a retired, single male of 72. I  understand people like me and may be able to help you.  I am a lifelong sufferer of addiction including, ocd, impulse disorder, adhd,  compulsive gambling, sex and love junkie.  I have tried it all and found talk therapy works best.

I just sat down at my laptop which I have not used for a few months. I have been blogging off and on for many years. I'm a bad procrastinator even though I love to write. In fact, it took me five years to make $106.94 from Google AdSense.   I am a tall, thin, white haired 71 year old Jewish male who lives with his girlfriend in a nice over fifty five complex. She is sleeping soundly in the bedroom that I just left after sleeping only three hours when I really need eight hours. Cannot sleep. Lots of anxiety. Its 3 am and I have swallowed a couple of Valium 10 mil. pills but they have not even phased me. Probably, too tolerant of them from too many years of being semi-addicted. But, I sure am glad I have them along with a stash of power packed Xanax tablets for insurance. I have ferocious demons. Anyway, I got sidetracked. I was going to talk about one of my many neurotic fears. I developed a kidney stone several years ago and read that if you ever get one you would likely...

I just blew the one chance I've had in several years to find the last love of my sixty nine year old male life. I blew it because this gorgeous lady I met on match.com warned me the first time we went out that she would would never surrender to my way of trying to control and dominate her. She saw that defect as soon as she showed a little interest in me. She is a therapist, in her sixties, free spirited, financially secure, kids are grown, sexually uninhibited and open for love. Perfect. I was immediately swept away on our first date several months ago  My love starved self got carried away and started trying to turn a few simple kisses into an instant love story.  My seductive, aggressive style is all I ever knew and it had served me well occasionally. Mostly it had burned me in romance, money, people, business, and everything else I used it for. Despite that, I thought,that my life of loneliness was at an end. I felt I had found my final soul mate.  Naturally,...

It was another match.com date with a 65 year old man and a 62year old woman. Except this is the date that I did not want to ever end. It started innocently enough, after a few online misfires, with lunch at a Greek restaurant in Chicago. It ended several hours later with a connection that I am overwhelmed by. She is magnificent in her sensitivity, intellect and rare, unaffected beauty. We found that certain indefinable common ground quickly as we had a drink and ordered some food. After she spoke a few words I knew she was a rarity. A non-egocentric, kind, classy, intellectual strong and sensual woman of great experience and insight. Only she did not come off as anything but a very sweet lady who knew her way around. I looked at her and immediately was swept away. After lunch, which lasted a long time I blurted out "do you want to go play?" and she said "sure." My heart skipped a beat. Maybe she liked me? We walked around this big food market tourist attract...

Interior-David's Apt. David sits at his computer scanning the online dating site like a trained hunter. He sees this tall, seductive but funky looking woman of about 50 and looking very indifferent. Kinda smug. Posing like a hotter version of   Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde” but so very obviously intelligent and also tough looking.. Tall, .great looking body.   David talks to himself out loud “Is she hot or not”? His 62 year old trained eyes coupled with years of dating experience do not tell him a story. She could be a good one but probably isn’t” She’s most likely not worth the time it would take trying to meet her, he decides. Then, he goes back to look at her again a few hours later and also reads her profile more carefully..  “Divorced, self employed, no kids living at home” her profile states. She seems so unaffected, uncaring about whether she gets any attention or not, as if she were forced onto the site.  David mumbles ok to himself. He ...
