I like being alone so I really never feel lonely.  As far as dating goes...I'm selective about who I spend time with. 

Maybe it's best to discuss your grandchildren with other people and talk to the guys you date about something that's interesting to them.  Just an idea.

I am a retired senior male. I live alone. I am very involved at my church. I meet many lovely single ladies with grandchildren. It is not the grandchildren that prevents me from having a relationship with any woman. It is her attitude. I like happy content women.

Ususally I just find something to do. There are soo many things I do, and really I don't care about people. I had a dating life experience and it was me giving and giving without getting, so I rather be myself all the times.

I don't want to presume to know you, but usually men don't mind grandchildren. I know my mother practically has to hide from men and she has her grandchildren with her frequently. I think it's the fact that she does not need a man in her life. She focuses on friendships and family. She is a widow of 4 years and has not even thought about dating, even though often pursued. It's when you stop looking for something you are most likely to find it. If you are lonely, maybe a man isn't the answer. Try spending more time with friends or making friends through your libraries book clubs or something of the like. Love will find you when you least expect it.

pfrancis001* I've lost my husband almost 3 yrs now & I've been so lonely but I've chose not to get involve w/anyone b/c nobody ever measures up to my husband. I think that if you need to find someone, don't try so hard. I think that it's right to tell a potential friend a/o your grand kids because it's basically, a signal telling you if the person will be right for you or not. Right now, just enjoy your family & close friends don't force love b/c you're lonely. Usually, we don't know what we really want & pick the wrong potential mate. Stop looking, use this time w/your families,find hobbies to do, join a club....usually, when we aren't look we tend to trip over the "one" meant to be our soul mate! It happened to me, I kept on finding jerks as dates & one day when I gave up on all jerk males, I literally tripped over my best friends & soul mate. Good Luck!!!!!

That's weird.  I've heard of people preferring not to date someone with children (especially young children) but I have never heard of anyone running because of grand children.  Are you raising your grandchildren?  When you reach a certain age most people would assume a person probably has kids and grand kids if you are older.  Why would they mind grand kids?  I could understand better if the grand kids lived with you and you are raising them.  Could it be you're talking too much about them and it is turning them off?
