"Meet Your Match"

Apparently, the 92nd Street Y thinks that I am old, desperate and pathetic! I received a bright pink large postcard in the mail from them to "Meet Your Match." All the events are for ages 30s, 40s & 50s (mostly skewed toward older), with titles like "How to Meet More Men After 40" and "Deeper Dating." Thanks a lot, 92Y! I guess it shows that it could be worse...

I don't even go to singles events for 20s...or at least, events that are billed that way. Plenty of parties, events and trips are geared toward singles, without being "singles events." I truly believe that I am going to meet my besheret regardless of which parties I choose to go to. G-d will make it happen! (I hope... Of course, in every other regard, I have little faith, but that's another post for another time.)

Yet, the older I get, the slimmer the prospects... A 24- or 25-year-old guy (I hesitate to call him a "man" and am tempted to write "boy"!) flirted shamelessly with me the other night, but it went nowhere. If he had been a gentleman and walked me home, perhaps I would have invited him up! His loss!

(with apologies to any single readers who meet the above demographic requirements for these programs!)

Even if he did not get lucky, it is still the right thing to walk a woman home and or to their door. My wife does not know how to open a door, and that is a good thing.
