Operation Trench

 Plans for 2027

Silver Surfer

Dating a Granny

In November 2025, I will start my recovery from the ruins of chatting to a person, who "claimed" to live close to me in Bristol, UK. The effects of her scam went beyond financial, I was so exhausted from the strain of walking twice to possibly meet her, in September, I fell in the street, and was taken to hospital.

Something good did come out of the period I was in contact with her, at the time I ended our business association, I added my name to two Mature Dating apps, and found, to my suprise, ladies do find me attractive. One of the ladies, who lives in Didcot has taken great interest in me in the last four months, and is keen to meet.

After my last encounter, I am being cautious, and preparing myself for a planned meeting, not to happen. If this falls through, I probably won't seek a romantic partner again

The Final quarter of 2026

  I am not likely to forget my 70th birthday

Scarface

Happy Birthday

The final quarter of 2026 started badly for me. I was aching, and not feeling well on my return from a shopping trip to Asda in Whitchurch, Bristol, when I tripped on an uneven pavement.

The fall left me covered in blood from a broken nose, and a deep dasg over my left eye.

My left knee is still sore, two weeks after the fall, so much I am housebound.

My friendship with a lady in Didcot, Oxfordshire, is going well, and I hope to meet her next year.

I will be glad to see the back of Pamela Olsted, and her sister who involved me in a scam from November 2025, until I ended it in June 2026. I can start rebuilding my finances

Ladies love cowboys

 I don't usually play a trend

If Romance calls

                                                                      Hidden Delights

I could put my popular appeal with ladies online down to I don't follow the trend of assuming a lady online is seeking a sexual partner, also I ignore the trend of men who display thier bodies openly. I do have a few head and shoulders shots in my profile, but that is all.

I play to my strength, as I see it, my personality. I have not built a false persona of being a gentleman who respects ladies, that is who I am.

If ladies find me sexy, it is their choice, I do nothing online, openly, that I consider provocative. In a private chat, what we discuss is dictated by what the lady wishes to talk about.

I have always been an outsider, mainly because I am an introvert, and find making friends in person difficult.

A decade of love

 Granny Sex

Svitlana's wish

Romance in Didcot

As Svitlana and I are in our 70s, it would be expecting too much to envisage our relationship lasting over a decade. That does give us plenty of time to for a strong bond of love. We already have a good beginning, as our online chats are extremely pleasant, and relaxed, if only brief.

We have made a few early plans for how we see our friendship   developing, Svitlana did suggest a sleepover, I would not have made the suggestion, even if I wished to spend the night with her.

The area around Didcot, where she lives, is full of interesting things, not least Wallinford Castle, where Queen Matilda stayed during her fight with King Stephen.

There are several parks, and areas of wildlife, which are nice for a romantic afternoon walk.

Brief Encounters

What is my allure?

Sex with Alan

I have had offers of friendship, and even sex, with several older ladies. I have no issue with dating an older lady, within reason, the lady in my life now my wife has passed away is Svitlana from Ukraine, she lives in Didcot.

Svitlana

Svitlana is four years older than I am, and we got on well from our first online chat, she and I are dedicated to moving our friendship into a relationship, once she has got back from holiday, and I have cleared my overdraft issues. At the present, I am limited to chatting for about an hour each night, and sometimes, I have to go offline for a day or two 😢😢.

Though I had many offers, until Svitlana, none meant anything to me, mainly because I couldn't see me meeting a lady who lives either in Asia, the USA, or South America. In 2009, I did fly to Canada, twice to meet a friend, but she paid for the flights, one of the reasons for my trips was she needed help sorting her house out, she died that December

Never say Never

 Dating a Granny

Would I leave Svitlana?

Svitlana

To answer the question, I would not leave Svitlana, unless she decided she didn't wish to be my lady friend in Oxfordshire. This is something, she has made clear, she has no intention to do.

Neither of us hoped to find romance at our ages, we're in our 70's. I am 70 in October, and Svitlana is 74. Yet, we got on so well with our online chats, we have bonded, and once my finances are more settled, we plan to meet in Didcot, where she lives.

The outlook appears good

The Oxfordshire Romance

A  new Romance blooms in Tropico

Despite my reservations, mainly about my self-esteem, Svitlana is determined to make our online friendship into a relationship. I don't try to say no, but I do tell her about my limitations.

I would like nothing more than for our relationship to bloom, as we both have a sexual context for our future meetings planned.

I never imagined anything like this would happen, when I added my details to two dating apps, I had no wish, other than to get an honest opinion of how mature ladies saw me. After the Pamela Olsted incident, I put all thoughts of a relationship out of my mind, until Svitlana contacted me. It was she who made the moves, something I find arousing

A Turning Point for me

 Mature Dating

SoulmateMeets

Dating a Granny

One of my biggest shocks in recent months, came this month.

For months, Pamela Olsted had been saying she thought I was attractive, but I doubted her honesty - with good reason - so, this month, to find an honest view on how mature ladies saw me, I added my profile to a mature dating app. The results astounded me, as I never saw myself as attractive to ladies.

I have been deluged with requests to meet, and several offers of sex. For now, there is only one lady I wish to have sex with, my friend, Svitlana, in Didcot

Her concerns are being cleared

 Anxious Friend

A Long Weekend

                                                               Svitlana's worries

I am trying to convince my friend,Svitlana, that not being in touch over the weekend has nothing to do with her, when I am not in contact, she worries I have stopped loving her. Nothing could be further from the truth, I have told her, "The only way we're going to part, is if you choose."

Sex with a Granny

                                                                   Granny Sex

My friend, Svitlana, has made her intentions for us clear, she wishes to have sex with me. She didn't tell me straight away, but it became clear not long after our chatting began. Some men would be put off by a lady hitting on them, but I find a lady who knows what she wants arousing.

I won't deny I was a little put aback by the speed she approached the subject, I hoped we'd get to the subject of sex sometime, but I had no schedule. I let the lady choose the speed and direction of the chats to make her feel safe.

Recent events are proving interesting, I have been asked to keep in daily contact, this shows a deep connection, to me. This is not always possible, for the next month I have a cash shortage.

Svitlana isn't the only mature lady friend who says I should stay in contact, there are several others who get worried if I don't show on the app we share. I find it hard to believe I have had this effect on ladies, after only a few weeks.

When do I think I may make love again?

 It is the lady's choice

                                                        Dating a Granny

Though, my friend,Svitlana, has made her intentions clear to me. The choice of if we make love, is always the lady's, as far as I am concerned.

It would be nice to have sex before my birthday in October, but if we don't have sex at all, it is no issue for me. I would rather keep a good friend, than lose a possible lover.

Intimate photos

The Compliments keep coming

My friend and I have shared intimate photos, as we our friendshhip is blooming quickly. I hope I can live up to Svitlana's expectations, she thinks I have a large penis. I never brag about my sex life, but I have had no complaints about my performance as a lover. There are many advantages to dating a granny

Some Sexual thoughts

 Dating a Granny

                                                       FFM

My friend in Didcot, won't be the first older lady I have had a relationship with, I had two before, in 2010. Neither lasted long, one lady in Canada passed away, and the lady in Hampshire dropped me like a hot piece of scrap iron.

Svitlana

Glamorous Granny

To me, Svitlana is glamorus, and what is more enticing is she wishes to meet me. We chat three times a week on the app SoulmateMeets, and hope to meet soon. We have had a few discussions about what we like in the way of sex, if we get to be that close, it will be both exciting, and intoxicating.

I am fairly open to suggestions, but I do have things I won't do, even for Svitlana

Am I hard to understand?

Female Admirers

                                                                      Dating a Granny

Despite being on a mature dating app, I keep being asked to meet girls younger than my youngest daughter (33). I keep reading the same comments to my question, "What do you see in me?"

Older men make better lovers as they are more cosiderate.

                                                               SoulMateMeets

My popularity on the site has rasised an enviable issue, I am innundated with requests for dates, and sex with mature ladies. That situation I can handle, I am only interested in meeting my friend, Svitlana (above).

The problem is having limited funds for chatting on the site, several ladies keep asking why I appear to vanish for days?

If I wasn't trying to build a friendship with Svitlana, I may have pushed harder for some of the ladies. However, there are some which I find off-putting, not that I find them unattractive, but how do you communicate with a lady who has a degree, or runs a business after making love? For over a decade, I had a friend in Seattle who earned a degree the year I was born (1956). We did get on well, that is because we were freinds, and didn't have a closer relationship.

My Angel

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.

How did I come back so quick?

 Dating a Granny

                                                            I am a romantic

You may wonder how I came back so quick from break-up of my friendship with a lady who "claimed" to live in Bristol?

The truth is I was never convinced she was interested in me, unlike my friend, Svitlana (shown here), who is definitely interested in meeting me.

I am not upset at the break-up, I am relieved as it was getting boring. Each week, I'd read the same excuses not to meet me, it didn't take long to realise it was going nowhere fast, but I hoped she'd prove me wrong - she didn't.

I told her I had added my profile to three Granny Dating apps two weeks ago, in reality, she lost me well before the disclosure
