"All the Golden Bachelor women were all texting me, like, 'We want your leftovers,'" Joan tells Bustle with a laugh. "They were big hits, these guys." I tell Joan it sounds like more love stories might be in the making. "I've got some in mind already," she says.
"Lots of couples make it, but some don't," she says. "And if you have hope going into it, that's all you really need." This philosophy embodies a resilience that comes with later-life dating, emphasizing trust in the process of love.
At this age, it takes a little time to get to know somebody. Sometimes there's love at first sight, and sometimes you need more time. I was looking for a committed relationship, somebody I was going to leave this journey with to see how it would work in the real world. Like, let's date.
Yeah, it's just the way I am. I have great friends and family, and I love where I live. I can't imagine not seeing my kids and my grandchildren all the time.
