Yeah I like the sunshine, better than cloudy & cold makes you feel un happy, I use to say to an English flatmate that England made a mistake, they should of left the convicts in cold cloudy England, and the rest of the country should of came to Australia hehehehehe

Yes it is good to see another Aussie here

Lol I lived in London for 2 years and must say their winter is worse than ours! I never really liked the cold Christmas either oh well this week should be warmer than last which I am very happy about!

I want to find, love but want to find a good dating site, where people actually want a relationship, I am 57! I have looked for many sites but want to find a good dating site. I read some reviews but they look like for young people. read some reviews here wowdate but no joy

Hey Samantha, glad to get to know you.

Can't help you with dating sites - I am pretty awful at those things. I join and then sort of mess the whole thing up by not doing anything about it. I am hopeless at the whole dating thing. But I do know people who it has worked for but it did take time with lots of not right matches along the way (and times of no matches at all). So don't be discouraged. Remember it is only a tool to find a date. Maybe there is something different planned for your life.

Be blessed

Hi Evie, God bless you and thank you for taking the time to reply! I am hopeless too at dating, and I feel like I am too old, but I hate being alone.

Oh I know that pain too. I am reading about called When Women Walk Alone and that has been encouraging me. It is not easy being alone and feeling like there is no one there for you but hold strong to your faith and allow God to build relationships in your life. It will take time for that feeling to go away but know you are never really as alone as we feel we are.
