Around The Fire Blog with your host D. V. Stone
Hi, everyone! Can you believe it’s the 3rd week in February? I’ve had some great adventures here in the Sunshine State. I have a new saying, “You can take the Jersey Girl out of the Garden State but you can’t take the garden out of the Jersey Girl. February in Northern Florida is like spring in NJ. I love plants and gardens. Often on our travels we visit Arboritums and Botanical Gardens. Well, here I am, and my fingers began to itch. Off I went to the local thrift store and dollar store.
Around the Fire with D. V. Stone
What can one person do? There was a story I heard years ago. A man walked along the beach. He spotted another man picking up a starfish and putting it back in the water. The first man looked around. Hundreds of starfish were beached. He shook his head in disbelief when the second man picked up another of the creatures and walked back to the shoreline. The first man called out to the second man, "What are you doing?

4 Things I Learned About Relationships from My Characters
When I started guest blogging for Sixty and Me, I had no clue two of my main characters would beg to join me. But Sunny Chanel (Middle Ageish) and Dana Narvana (Eat Your Heart Out) insisted. Besides, I have a secret. Too often, my inner voice is my characters from my novels arguing with me while I’m writing. This past week they schooled me about what makes relationships work. “Dating in your fifties or sixties isn’t easy,” said Sunny. “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” said Dana.
Welcome to the Campfire is a weekly author blog hosted by D. V. Stone
Hi Shirley! Thanks for joining us around the campfire on this cold morning. It's 14 degrees in Northern NJ and we are expecting a major Nor'easter late tomorrow and maybe into Tuesday. 🥶 So hunker down with a nice hot beverage and join in on the conversation. What’s your preference, coffee, tea, cocoa, wine? The camp fridge is like the Starship Enterprise. You speak it, you get it. Well, since it’s after five at the campfire, I’d love a glass of wine. Anything red.
Welcome to the campfire. A weekly blog hosted by D. V. Stone
Welcome to the campfire everyone. I'm so glad you joined us today. Before we get to today's amazing guest let me fill you in on our trip post the debacle of a lost axel. Head over to https://www.dvstoneauthor.com/d-vs-guest-blogs-reviews-and-so-much-more.html if you're intersted on the before. We finally got 2Hoots (my camper) back and were able to get to Mystic Connecticut for the final days. Oh my goodness it's so beautiful there. We met fabulous fellow campers, toured ships and the museums.
9 Original Dating Ideas for Covid Times
The old “Would you like to go out for dinner?” isn’t appropriate these days, but don’t give up. Especially if you talked or “met” on a dating site before Covid but didn’t have a chance to get together. The important thing is, he’s nice, and you think he’s interested. You’re game, so how to get together and still keep your distance? First, let him know you’re willing to meet as long as you both stay outdoors. This is the safest way to go.
8 Ways to Date Your Friends and Narrow Your Distancing
With everything going on in our world these days, friends are essential to our health. I don’t have family nearby, so maintaining my friendships is especially important, especially those friendships with history. It takes effort, but staying in contact with as many of our friends as possible is a priority for most of us. In fact, I’ve put a name to this and say I’m dating my friends. Not so weird since I write a lot about relationships and find myself skewing almost everything in life to dating.
Dating Tips for Mature Women: Reading Male Behavior
If a guy really likes you, he wants to be with you. Common sense. But what about in the beginning, before it’s a relationship. How do you know a man is interested then? At our age, it’s not like you’ll see him in fourth period English, and you’re not thrown together on the dance committee after school. Interaction is more random. Plus, nowadays, we’re hyper-aware everyone’s busy with work, projects, and grandchildren, so we text rather than phone. And with the pandemic, things got even worse.
Dos and Don’ts to Keep in Mind When Dating: How to Kill It on a First Meet
I remember my first ever online-booked meet. I can still picture walking up to the door of the restaurant and pulling it open. It was late afternoon, and the sun blinded me for a moment. A few guys at the bar swiveled around on their barstools to check out the newcomer. One by one, they turned back. All except the man in the pink shirt. It doesn’t matter that our first meet was our last. What matters is that only after meeting in person will you know if you’d like to see him again.
What I’ve Learned from My 95-Year-Old Mom About Relationships
The best fight my parents ever had was the day my father tried to outrun my mom in their own house. Before I get into the story, there’s something I should share about Annie, my mom. She’s slow to anger and she’s not a yeller. In truth, my mom’s as placid as a petunia, and people gravitate to her, gather around her. A caretaker, never the center of attention, she’s had the same best friends for 60 years. She was an orthopedic nurse and started her career in her 40s.
Want to Finally Succeed at Dating Over 60? Make This One Attitude Shift
I recently had another of those relationship discussions with a few single friends. What they have in common is, they all have plunged into online dating. And everyone agrees that online dating is more painful than a dental scaling and root planing of all four quadrants of your mouth. With one exception. Miranda (not her real name) has no complaints about internet dating.
Don’t Give Up Dating Over 50: 10 Ways to Connect with a Guy Who “Clicks”
You’ve gone on 14 first meets and you’re done. You’ve had it. This online dating thing isn’t working. It isn’t working and you’re fine with that. You’ve got a life – a great life. Friends, grown kids, grandkids; you love hanging out with them. You love the garden, your work, the occasional weekend away. You don’t need a man. Of course, a man would be nice. But. He has to be the right man. You’ve tried. The result? Meh. Your daughter’s favorite word, as if meh describes a person.
Ready to Start Online Dating After 50? Be Prepared to Meet These Guys, But Would You Date Them?
A friend of mine in her early 60s was surprised when a man she met for the first time for a coffee date asked if she’d like to get together for dinner the following Saturday. “Why would he want to see me again?” she said. “Why not?” I said. “You’re cute and fun to be with, so why do you ask?” “I know everything about him. He was a police detective in New Jersey, he’s got three grandchildren, and he likes trying out new recipes. On the other hand, he didn’t ask me one single question.
Older and Dating Online? 5 Ways to Stop Taking Things Personally
“Don’t take things personally,” a good friend said years ago, back when I started internet dating. “He doesn’t know you.” I was younger then, and more stubborn. “How can I not take it personally? We went out and he didn’t call. It’s personal.” My voice was operatic. “He’s rejecting me. Me.” In those days, I didn’t have a clue. My friends, who are new to online dating, don’t get it either. It’s as if they have expectations of polite, drawing room behavior, and this isn’t a salon world.
Hanging Out with Your Male Friend After 50 - Are Friendships with Testosterone a Good Idea?
We are a group of seven women of a certain age, sitting around the dinner table (yes, there is wine), talking about relationships. Since we don’t know one another that well, there are lots of questions. “What about men friends,” I ask. “It’s harder at our age, but do you have male pals?” Out of the seven, two have male acquaintances, but only one has a male friend. “I see him every few months. When his girlfriend is busy,” she says. “I’ve always had men friends,” I say.
