69@69”
Will you swipe right on “69@69?” It’s a tale of love, laughter, grit, tears and the unexpected joys of late-life sex and romance of a mature widow.
Should I find a new man?
After the loss of my beloved husband, widowed after 42 years and grieving for three years, I'm ready to embark on a new journey—one that involves more than volunteering and crossword puzzles. How hard can it be to find someone who will be my soul mate, best friend, travel partner, maybe life partner in their mid- 60’s
Swipe Right!
You could say I am a pretty impulsive-spirited woman. It is typical of me that I jumped head-first into the world of online dating. Why? After years in a cosy relationship bubble, and finding myself a widow, I yearned for a new partner, companionship and adventure. So, with sheer determination, a smartphone, and a dash of humour, I set sail on the digital sea of matchmaking. I had lots to learn.
I didn’t expect to encounter scammers, charmers, catfishers, friends with benefits, and obsessive suitors; many tested my resilience. Along the way, I discovered not to take everything at face value and searched for authenticity, finding the true meaning of companionship.
A Rollercoaster Ride of Laughter
I have encountered so many crazy scenarios—from awkward first dates (toothpaste and fish and chips) to unexpected connections and unfathomable obsessions (Toes, a schoolgirl uniform, and motorbikes); backbreaking sex with several teddy bears staring at me; and the Lord of the Manor, who nearly made my dog sick with his home-fried liver.
Heartache and tears
There are moments of vulnerability, too. I grapple with heartache, loss and deceptions, yet I (sometimes foolishly) continue to bounce back, determined to find joy amidst the swipes and emojis.
Wine, Laughter, and Solidarity
My loyal Girl Tribe, my precious mates, are always here to listen to my stories and woes, sip wine, laugh, and cheer me on. Even if they take the Micky out of my disastrous naïve decisions, I value their input and derision, which usually involves a few appropriate swear words.
Poetry
Some of my dates inspired me to write poetry. These short verses range from humorous to angry to sad.
Why 69@69?
Why did I choose the title 69@69? Well, I celebrated my 69th date in my 69th year. After reflecting on my life’s wild ride with my Girl Tribe, I decided to write about my memorable encounters, throwing in some wisdom, humour, and unapologetic candour. And yes, the sexual innuendo of “69” isn’t lost on them, nor the sexual experiences I encountered on my way.
I welcome any feedback. I hope you find my mature online dating stories funny, enlightening, occasionally shocking, sad, and heartwarming.

GREAT NEWS: The author and her book 69@69 were featured in the Daily Telegraph newspaper
The editor of the Health and Wellness section quoted the following:
"It was an absolute pleasure working with Jacqueline on this feature. Some people are commenting that this is a fake story. I can assure you it is not. J is a very real woman with real-life experience. She wanted to share her story and a cautionary tale to others embarking on internet dating in later life (don't write widow in your profile, it is a magnet to scammers) but also to show that sex isn't only for the young, That she dusted herself off and got back out there, even after her experience with 'daddy' Frank, she shows an extraordinary level of resilience, in my opinion. At least she got an entertaining book out of it!"
