Hi, does that apply to woman these days too?

(I am widowed over 3 years and thinking of dating now.)

How do men in their 40’s feel about women asking? I married at 18, and lost my husband to ALS. Grew up in a small town and girls never invited guys out first.

“does that apply to woman these days too?” Most assurredly!! I by no means am an “expert” in dating, however my rationale has always been “just ask.” A yes is a great answer. A maybe can be changed to a yes & a no can possibly be changed to a maybe!! The rest is all up to me.

Now as far as “growing a set” I would discourage ya on this!! Just get the nerve up to ask someone you’re interested in to join ya in a fun activity & see where it goes. You’ll do just fine..Best wishes.

I was married for a loooooong time before I divorced and began dating. It was a culture shock. Just be careful....
