Dear Suze Q. Dating in my 60s is tough! I read all the hot tips and learned to listen better and not vomit every problem I had because I was nervous. I realize women who talk a lot make me crazy and women who don’t talk enough are worse. I need a class on small talk. Also, I’m slightly hard of hearing.
Dear Listener, Tell your date that you’re hard of hearing and position her to stay on your better side. If possible, face her when she speaks. If you have tips to help you both, tell her: ex: touch you if you don’t answer because you probably didn’t hear. The art of talking requires ebb and flow. When it goes dead, YOU pick it up by commenting on something you both see/hear, saw/heard, she said or you wondered about. Tell short stories about yourself and look for like-interests. You’re laying the groundwork for a friendship, regardless if it leads to a love interest or nothing at all. -SQ
