It’s time to find your watermelon…

This is a story of chat by emoticon and innuendo…

Recently I commented on an article on this site. The article was about losing ones libido.

The comment I made was that I had not lost mine, but was finding it difficult to meet a male over 60 who hadn’t lost theirs, and who thought along the same lines as I do. A few days later, I received a message from a gentleman who was more or less in the same boat as I was… The only difference, he was finding it difficult to meet a like minded female.

Thus began a weird and wonderful series of flirtatious chatting (texting or is it sexting?). I agreed that I was a little flirtatious but drew the line at downright filth and crudeness.

Let’s give it a go and see what happens I thought. Well, the conversations flowed, (as much as they could by texting). Emoticons are a marvellous invention, one can speak a thousand word…

Take a watermelon for instance. It can conjure up numerous scenarios… Especially when an emoticon with a tongue sticking out appears in the chat window. As he said, “Watermelon is not just a Food…”

One chat consisted solely on emoticons, or stickers as they are called… A cup of coffee, a cake and a smiley face… As well as a lot of other little stickers… Suggestive? Yes, some were, but all made for fun, and got the old brain thinking.

I found myself laughing and smiling more than I had in years… This had to be good for the soul.

Heck, I was even singing when I went about my daily chores…

Another chat was started by an emoticon of a fox taking a shower. Something so simple took me too places I hadn’t been for years… I don’t think he had been there either.

There are millions of those little suckers out there, emoticons I mean. They are fun, they are harmless, I am sure some of you over 60s will think I am right out of my tree, but that doesn’t matter to me, I am who I am, and make no excuses. I am unique….

I say, get adventurous, if you have a partner , or husband, and things are a little stale. Find your watermelon and let go of all your hang ups, you never know where it may take you…

This bloke has a sense of adventure, and a sense of humour, a rare combination in most over 60 males. We don’t always have flirty chats, sometimes we just chat about everyday types of things. It is a good mix…

Who would have thought one small comment would take me to such heights? Thanks Starts at Sixty, You guys rock!
