Another good news story from A Table for Six

Here's another good news story from our A Table for Six dinners.
S told me she had dated a lot in her 20's and felt there were plenty of guys to choose from. She settled down and married and was in her marriage for 20 odd years until it broke up for various reasons. She found herself single again and in her late 40's. S found the dating scene at this age to be very different than when he was in her 20's. Yes there were men to date, but having the checklist she had in her 20's just wasn't realistic now. She didn't want to date anyone who had dependent children, didn't have the same interests as she had or didn't share the same religious beliefs. This proved to be very unsuccessful for S.
Eventually S realised that she could have a strict checklist and be lonely or she could become more realistic and be open to meeting men who could offer her genuine love and commitment even though they might not fit the exact profile she had in mind. S decided to be open to the men she met who were gentlemen and showed interest in her. We noticed the change in her feedback from dinners and about 4 months ago she met R at a dinner. They have been dating since then and they let us know that they are very serious about their relationship and very in love. If S had kept to her list, he would never have got to know R. They have differences but their core values are the same.
We are happy for them and look forward to hearing how their relationship progresses. We love hearing about and passing on our good news stories.
