I\’m always hearing about a surplus of widows and divorced women, but recently I realized that I have been meeting widowers.

The so-called ‘perfect date’
Amy Klein
November 30, 2006
The date was going really well. The conversation was flowing. We were practically finishing each other\’s sentences.
C.S.I.: Dating
Amy Klein

Some people say you can learn everything you need to know about a person on the first date.That\’s when people reveal themselves, because it\’s before they feel something is at stake. Will she like me? What will he think of me? I hope I make a good impression.The beginning — the preliminary phone call, the casual party conversation, the unwitting meeting of total strangers on a plane, an elevator, a funeral (don\’t ask) — is the best time to glean all the information you can from a person.It\’s kind of like being a police investigator at a crime scene.
Deal or No Deal

Some women would argue that your expectations should go down the longer you are single. I say a deal breaker is a deal breaker, and the fact that you have turned 28
for several years in a row doesn\’t mean you should dismiss core things you want in a guy.
N.Y. or L.A. — which is better for dating?

In my now perhaps exceedingly long life as a single woman, I\’ve lived in both New York and Los Angeles.
The little things

When did things first get serious? When I gave my boyfriend, Scott, my guest parking pass. That\’s right. I presented him with that little laminated gem that allows
visitors to park on my happening WeHo street — ticket free — after 7 p.m. I told him it was his, for keeps. For real. Not impressed? Not amazed? Then you\’re not in Los Angeles.
Married . . . at last!

I got married for the first time at 50. The groom was 51. Yes, we are both Jewish. We met online.
Single, 60, and invisible no more

All age groups seem to want the same thing: a soulmate, a soft shoulder to lean on occasionally, companionship for dinner in or out, theater, movies, and travel. I still enjoy cooking (and I\’m good at it). I\’m not too old for cuddling and hugging, and I happen to enjoy it.
Let’s confront, I mean, let’s talk
Amy Klein
October 12, 2006
Men will do anything — and I mean anything, from changing their phones, emails and even primary residences, to joining the army during wartime — rather than confront a woman. By \”confront,\” I mean, \”talk directly to.\” They just don\’t like it.
I’ll try it!

The thing about reaching \”I\’ll try it\” is that you are daring to imagine that things can work out for the best, and that you can add another activity to the list of common likes.
