Once I have refunded the money taken in a scam, I will probably get my Apple Gift Cards online. It is as quick online, as it is if I go to the shops, but less taxing on my damaged Achilles tendon.

I won't stop going to Bedminster, Bristol, I usually visit my friend's cafe twice a week for lunch

Brief Encounter

 Meeting Svitlana

Senior Railcard

Cash Shortage

My friend, Svitlana, is partially correct in saying th loan I have not been repaid is harming our friendship, and the growth of our relationship, another factor is the cost to me of keeping in contact on Charming Talks. It costs me £10 a night, for an hours chat. She is worth much more to me than that, but I can't keep paying out at this rate, even if I get my £3,000 back from the sister of scammer Pamela Olsted.

I don't wish to lose contact with her, but somethings are beyond my control. My money issues will probably mean I will not get the Senior Railcard I had planned to buy to pay for my trips to see Svitlana in Didcot, also I shall delete my info from the dating apps I was on. 

I will miss our chats, and it will take a long time to get over our seperation, even though we have not met, if this does happen, I have no plans to attempt another relationship.

A Suprise ending to 2026

 Meeting in Didcot

Action Stations !!!

Meeting Svitlana

Today will begin the end of my time in hell. In November, 2025, I was contacted on Twitter, and later via WhatsApp by a lady calling herself Clara Kent, she turned out to be scammer Pamela Olsted.

By various means, she convinced me she cared for me, when all she wanted was my money. I was for a short period, under the impression she lived near me in Bristol. I stayed in contact, to give her the opportunity to prove she lived here, but it was soon clear she didn't.

By July, 2026, I had put her out of my mind, and resigned myself to losing the money I sent her, despite her saying she would refund me at some time. In September, 2026, her sister said she would repay the money owed to me, today, I am hoping this will happen.

I can finally put Pamela, and her family, out of my mind, and concentrate on meeting my friend   Svitlana in Didcot, Oxfordshire. Svitlana and I made contact on SoulmateMeets, and have continued our friendship on Charming Talks, we got on well from our first chat.

On a more personal note, today I will be going into hospital to have a lump removed from my neck.

Are you looking for me?

Each day, I get messages on the online chat saying "As soon as I come on the site, you are who I look for." I get the message from ladies in their early 40's to late 60's.

If I was the type, which I am not, I could easily "play-the-field," and have several sex meetings, but I only have eyes for Svitlana

The Eclipse of Alan

                                              Ruby Wedding Anniversary

Happy Anniversary

Would I re-marry?

August, 2025 should have been a joyous family occasion, my Ruby Wedding Anniversary, 40 years. However, my wife died in January, 2025, this will be my second anniversary without her 😢😢. 

She would have wished me to go on with my life, and not mourn her for all the time I have left. The children have said they have no objection to me having another lady friend, they know no lady can replace my lovely Linda.

I think I may have found another lady friend, or to be exact, Svitlana found me, as I wasn't after romance at the time she contacted me on SoulmateMeets.

I added my profile to the site, to see if ladies liked me, as I never saw myself as attractive to them. The response was amazing, whethe it was because I was new to the site, or genuine interest in me, I was deluged by requests from mature ladies asking to meet me, and several expressed a desire to have sex with me.

Despite hundreds of requests, the lady I am interested in is Svitlana. We get on well during our limited chats on Charming Talks, and are looking to meeting soon. Svitlana has mentioned the possibility of re-marrying, it is something to consider in the future, as we do get on well when we chat online.

Another part of my eclipse is the continuing after-effect of knowing scammer Pamela Olsted, her actions keep causing me to make cutbacks, and cause a continuous financial crisis.

Are the ladies being paid by Charming Talks?

Is our friendship about to break?

Cash Shortage

If the meeting in Didcot doesn't happen will I try again?

I would like nothing more than to my meet my friend, Svitlana, in Didcot, Oxfordshire. The problem is our contact on Charming Talks eats my money up.

I don't want to pressure my friend to leave the site, but I feel the day will come when she has to make the choice.

I expect several mature ladies on SoulmateMeets are wondering what has happened to me?

My profile is active on the site, but I don't use the site now, it was proving too expensive with so many requests for chats. Also, my friend, Svitlana, and I chat on Charming Talks, now, I only chat to her.

I will delete my profile once I have downloaded some photos Svitlana sent me.

Charming Talks

I stopped using SoulmateMeets because I was getting engulfed by too many mature ladies, and I only wished to chat to my friend, Svitlana, who lives in Oxfordshire. We chat on Charming Talks,

One lady from SoulmateMeets has hunted me down again, she is the lady in France, I keep saying goes too far, and has expectations for a relationship I am not happy with.

I have no objection to ladies talking about sex, to me it is arousing, but this lady gets too explicit

What do I do?

If the meeting in Didcot doesn't happen will I try again?

Granny sex

I hope I am wrong, but I am having doubts about a proposed meeting with my friend, Svitlana, in Oxfordshire.

We get on well, and appear to be in synch, but I have nagging doubts about our friendship. Having been duped by a lady posing to care for me recently, I am probably being paranoid, but I think she could be paid by Charming Talks..The.reason I think she is being  paid, rather than being serious about meeting me is she always has lots of money for credit to send letters, and virtual gifts, I hope I am wrong, and she does love me. I couldn't say what I'd do if the meeting in Didcot fell through, but I am prepared for it to be a no-show.eI a

Would I be missed?

SoulMateMeets

Could I be tempted from Svitlana?

As far as we are concerned, there is only one way I could be tempted to leave Svitlana, if she chose to end our friendship, and she has said she has no plan to do that.

I expect several ladies on SoulmateMeets are wondering why I have gone A.W.O.L?

There are two main answers, Charming Talks offered free chat tokens for the first week, and I needed those as I was struggling to pay Soulmate, and needed to convince Svitlana I hadn't lost interest in her.

The other reason is I found some of the ladies unattractive personality wise, in particular a lady in France who was to explicit in her sex chat. Within reason, I find a lady who chooses to talk about sex arousing, this lady was adamant we should go to the "next stage," when I had made no comment on how I felt about our remote friendship.

Svitlana asked for a romantic date

I joined Charming Talks as I was concerned my friend, Svitlana, was certain I didn't want to chat to her, as I'd been out of touch for days. The reason is I am going through a cash shortage this month, and need to ration my outlay.  There is a large difference between harming Talks and SoulMateMeets where we first chatted. CT gives you chat gems each day, so you can keep in touch, even if only for a few minutes.

Svitlana and I have come to the conclusion we are meant for each other, which is why I am exclusive to her.

Though I haven't met my friend, Svitlana, it is clear from our chats on Charming Talks, that we share some ideas of where our friendship should go, and what styles our sex life should take.

I have my desires, but I am willing to put them on the shelf to please Svitlana. My main desire is to please my friend. 

Svitlana will be the third older lady I will have made love to, if she wishes to make love, the other ladies were a lot older, and that was back in 2010

You say you miss me.

 I have moved on

Getting over Pamela Olsted

From the responses to my appearance on a Mature Dating site, I wouldn't be suprised if Pamela Olsted did miss our chats.

I was sure she would try to contact me, and she has, but I didn't reply, why should I, she lied to me for months. 

Her sister contacted me too, but got a cold reply. I have no interest in her, other than my money. Her sister tried to convince me she has been ill since I cut her out of my life, and she is in a hospital in Bristol. I may have fallen for the trick before, but after giving me three addresses where she is "supposed" to live, within 8 months, I took the ICC (I couldn't Care) view. It is easy to look up a hospital online.

Besides, I have moved on, and have formed true friendship with a lady in Oxfordshire. 

After months of being lied to, I would never trust anything she said, other than she misses me, and I am attractive. My popularity on SoulmateMeets and Charming Talk is not only about my attractiveness, it also about how pleasant, and respectful to the ladies I am.

What do I seek?

Am I arousing?

 Soulmate

I can be a problem

I have written much about the reactions of mature ladies to my appearance on Charming Talks, but little about what I am looking for, now is the time.

What I am looking for is a soulmate, not necessarily a sexual partner, though I am capable of making love. 

The thing which matters most to me, is that we get along as friends, beyond that is a bonus. At my age (70), the idea of sex, is a hope, with my health issues, I cannot blame a lady with desires for not wanting to be with me. I can be a problem, I am very much a Byronic Hero type, who loves passionatley, and has a darker side.

As a sidetrack, this may amuse you, I am reading a biography of Lord Byron written by Edna O'Brien, yes, a man reading a lady writer.

 That to some people is strange, but what about Agatha Christie, P,D. James, and Mary Anne Evans AKA George Elliot.

The last thing I look at is the the gender of a writer. 

To round-off from the opposite side of the coin, there are some male writers I can't read.

Svitlana

My popularity on the Mature Dating apps is increasing faster than I can cope with, if I wasn't devoted to meeting Svitlana, I could easily take several ladies up on their offers to meet. The main issue is most of the ladies live either in the USA, or Asia.

Would I re-marry?

 Svitlana

I am taking my profile offline

It is the lady's choice

Would I re-marry, this is a subject I have not given any thought to, for several reasons.

My age, I am 70 in October, I wouldn't think it fair on a lady to wish to marry me, for what could be 10 years.

Until recently, I didn't consider myself attractive to ladies, so the issue didn't arise. I know differntly now.

Svitlana did ask me if I would marry her last week, I said, "we'll have to wait to see how we get on when we meet," not that I think we'll have any issues as we get on well chatting online. We do appear to be soulmates.

If the matter arises again, I would have to have a serious discussion with my companion, pointing out the possibility of it not lasting. A friend of my my late wife, lost her husband and went on a cruise to get over the loss. On the cruise she met, and fell in love with a widower her age, they married, and both passed away within two years, they were in their early 60s.

If the lady still wished to marry me, that is her choice. I would have no ojection, one she knew the situation.

If you are wondering, I have no plans to re-marry at the moment.

All quiet on WhatsApp

 Disconnected but not bothered

Romance in Didcot

 Since yesterday afternoon, my WhatsApp chat has gone silent as the lady who said she was in Bristol got blocked for telling me lies for several months. I do miss our chats, but how can you trust a person who admits to misleading you, that is a huge mark of disrespect. Her latest attempt to get back in my favour is to get her sister to tell me, since we stopped chatting she has been in Southmead Hospital, Bristol.

Call me heartless, if she was, which I doubt, after being lied to for months, and sending her money, can you blame me for not caring?

I now chat with a friend on Charming Talks, who lives in Didcot, we hope to meet in a month's time

Romance in Didcot

My popularity on Mature Dating sites has created a problem.

The problem is my friend in Oxfordshire, is on several subscription sites, this is not a problem in itself. The question is does she like me, or is she keeping me on, so she can get more money from our chats on Charming Talks, we met last month on SoulmateMeets.

I think she is genuine, she understands I cannot keep paying a lot for the pleasure of her company. I have turned the ammount of chat time down this week.

There is only one lady for me.

I have been approached by several ladies on SoulmateMeets Charming Talks in the last month, from the start of the chats, there was one lady I wished to meet, the lady who became my friend in Oxfordshire.

We hit it off from our first chat, hopefully we shall meet. The journey hasn't been smooth, we had our moments of confusion, but we are going well now.

A steady relationship

A rocky start

After what can only be described as a tumultous beginnging, my friend, Svitlana, and I, are now in a more established friendship with hopes of it becoming a relationship soon.

Some of the bumps in the road were because we began chatting on SoulmateMeets, and I was chatting to other ladies as well. Now we are on Charming Talks, I only chat to Svitlana.
