So you meet someone on dating site, seems to be going ok and then you find they enjoy vacuuming too? This is a plus right? Half my age is not, but seem to be able to talk easily .
Dating site?

It sounds as though this relationship is well worth pursuing. You will never know unless you try, so give this person the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks.
too much dream shaping in it (if you ask me)
hey David,
sure worth giving the whole thing a try.
But why ask yourself so many unsure questions yet trying to nail things down to yes/no or black & white or thumbs up / thumbs down things?
Relax.
It could be someone too young or too old.
Someone into a vac hobby or someone just curious and eager to see new horizons.
Someone for a date or someone just for a coffee and so be it.
Someone to stay for a lifetime or just for a chat.
Even if not "in for more", he might still be good for business or trading stuff.
Even if not for a "date" (what is a date anyhow?), why not have a real friendship?
I'd give it a try just for the heck of it, the Gods always know best what is coming our way.
(For whatever reason in our lives).
Trust them.
It will do you good this or that way.
Not trusting them will keep you biting your nails and them rolling their eyes *shrugs here*
;-)
My granny used to say (God bless her): "As long as you are not dead, there is always something to do for you. Once you are dead, then you know: THAT would have been too much. So don't frown, ALL is good for us"
Lean back. Observe what it does to you. That will tell you.

He's 'half your age"? We,as long as He can keep up with You...........lolol
Some much younger people act a lot older, and vice versa.
See what kind of vacuum he uses. THAT should tell you a lot. I dated someone w/ a Miele, Erueka, etc......... WE were destined for failure. Well, actually, that was NOTR the issue at all. See how it goes. and, let us know.....pics...... i have to have SOMETHING to dream of.

It does not look like a meet will happen, our talks keep venturing apart. Thanks guys.
I can't imagine dating someone who actually liked vacuums as much as me. I did manage to find a guy who thinks that my Kirby's are "chrome" and cool and retro looking. I had to educate him on polished aluminum 
Just the fact that he thinks they're cool...I think I'll keep him around

Give me his number!!
I'll call him and straighten him out. Do you want me to tell him how nice you are?? Perhaps I'll slap him w/ a telescoping wand!! Maybe he doesn't own a HOOVER...... but, I won't bash. Do I bash?

"Walk on By". Who needs the baggage?
I'm pretty much baggage-free now, thank God! Some people have steamer trunks, lol!
I always feel, I can be alone BY MYSELF... I don't want to be alone WITH someone.
In the future, when in doubt, you must do 3 things: A.check out the vacuum.. B. Give me his info... I'll do an appraisal. C. Give me the number of a nice cousin or sibling.
When my sister was in High School.. I was the one who had to relay all of the info on her potential dates to our dad. He was blind and suffered from a brain tumor, etc. I was his eyes and ears.
So, remember, I'm here I'll be glad to screen out the riff raff, lolol And, trust me: I KNOW riff raff.......

Dating sites
In the olden days, before internet, people used to do singles ads in the papers. My Mother met Hubby #3 in the back of the National Enquire. They had the happiest 33 second marriage in history.
It seems they could talk all night if they were on the phone 600 miles away, but put them in the same room and they had nothing to say. I got along with him great, he was a wonderful step-father. In fact I took care of him up until his death from stomach cancer. Mom and him, ehhh.
So advice, that you weren't asking for, do your due diligence. Don't be attracted by lust, or loneliness, as John said you can be alone, alone. If you want a companion you need to make sure you are compatable.
As my sister, believe it or not a marriage counselor, used to say "make sure they are house trained when you get them, because you can't train/change them."

Don't believe that, I have house trained several! It can be done.The contact was also his doing, not mine.We have said hi a month ago.Lust is never a factor in looking for someone to hang out/ play date/ dinner with for me.Can get that fixed any ole time.

Just be careful
Was all I was attempting to say. I know you are an adult, and I am not trying to diminish you in anyway. But I get calls from all over the state where people are being taken advantage of financially, physically, mentally by someone they thought they could trust, someone they thought they loved, someone that played them.
Sometimes someone half our age is looking for a "Daddy" and sometimes they are looking for a "Sugar Daddy". A recent APS (adult Protective Service) training we were at featured a gentleman that had collected fine art, jewels, china his entire life, and was very happily retired. He took in a young man that "was so kind and nice and needed a place to stay." "He was so 'godlike' and mesmerizing." Until one day the gentleman came home and EVERYTHING was gone. His furniture, his jewels, his art, his china, his bank accounts--Gone!! This god must have gone back to the heavens, because there was not a trace.
I am not saying that this will or would happen, but just please take the caution as it is intended as a non-medding-caring-for-a-friend kind of advice.

Thanks for the advise and concern, appreciated. My mom is still alive and very proactive in same comments, brother is Chief of Police, so I have heard it. The 4 roommates I have had, 2 feel I am still the most important person in the world to them, so that went ok! One is moving back home with wife and 3 kids to the area, am missed. I may not even have time to go bf hunting then.

Growing up
My Uncle was the Sheriff, and cousin was on city police.
I couldn't get by with nothing. I think my parents knew when I stopped for gas. This was before GPS. They were connected.

Just received a wake up early call, my hetro life mate,is that how Jay and Silent Bob put it? Roommate #3 is moving back home from Denver in 6 weeks, was going to be Sept, all 5 of them.He is coming back early as his job wants him here that soon, guessing will be staying with me, not his inlaws 12 miles further from his work? I always told mom that it was Matt's rooom, he did live here 12 years, to him its home. So that will keep me busy perhaps. Very happy. I figured his youngest at 19 would want that room one day, we are very tight like his dad.Yipee!

He and Roommate #4 Rusty, the two on this planet I was totally comfortable/ finish the sentence, here take the car at ease with. They both feel the same. They were friends before last one moved in here for a year. He is 90 miles away, gf loves me too.Feels like old times! #3 and I went everywhere/ did everything together, he calls my mother mom.She is very thrilled he is coming back, claims it was the only time I was happy. Of course I was injured, life changed just after he moved out.Dying to see more of the kids but they are 18, 19 and 21, not sure I can call them kids anymore. More to come I am sure folks.
