"I knew I didn't want to live alone. I knew I wanted a long-term relationship. I'm a person who has a melancholy streak. And it's accentuated when I'm by myself."
"I was unfamiliar with how the etiquette of dating had changed - what do you talk about, what do you not talk about? My first foray went well, but I received a kind of scorecard."
Zack Rogow, at 66, began online dating after a significant relationship ended. Over 18 months, he went on 75 first dates, documenting details about each woman. He sought a long-term relationship, feeling a melancholy streak when alone. Rogow, now 73, is a writer and poet, and his new poetry collection reflects his dating experiences. He faced challenges adapting to modern dating etiquette, having not dated for decades, and received feedback on his conversation style during his initial dates.
