As a serious cook myself, I regard Linda's excellent and informative book, ("Winter Love - a Guide to Senior Dating") as functioning something like a cookbook, especially for those of us who are no longer even summer chickens. Putting aside the fact most of us seniors began dating when holding a Model T's door open for a young beauty or sliding out a chair for her in a restaurant were expected and felt normal, today's changing mores allow us to turn away from things like clunky nose rings and full-body tats.
Linda's book is especially helpful in alerting us to the issues of online dating and the scams that could involve (one seemingly attractive youngster wanted to come and meet me immediately if I would wire her airfare from Venezuela (ah, no)). She also covers issues we may never have encountered earlier or may have changed over time. Or things which require more careful treatment such as the difference in our bodies since our first marriage 30 or more years ago.
And Linda encourages us to communicate with those of the opposite sex about important issues which are important to both; when we were younger, those issues, sex for instance, may not have been thoughtfully addressed.
But, best of all, Linda Hayes points us in the direction of having fun getting to know the next love of our lives.
