69@69: A Naïve Widow Swipes Right into the World of Online Dating

Jay, a naive widow in her mid-60s, was encouraged by her friends to write her memoirs about her experiences in search of "the one." Over the course of six years, she ventured into online dating for the first time, meeting 69 men along the way. This journey introduced her to various personalities and new experiences; however, it also led her to encounter some unscrupulous suitors. While many of the men were kind and considerate, there were moments when her naivety placed her in dangerous and compromising situations. "Red flags and scammers" were foreign concepts to her; she had always given people the benefit of the doubt, taking them at face value and trying to be someone who could connect with everyone. Clichés were comfortable for her. Over time, she learned to trust her gut instinct and intuition. What she discovered about herself was her love for sex and intimacy.

Her experiences inspired her to write poetry, featured at the end of some chapters. The conclusions in this book are not what Jay or her readers expect. However, there is so much to reflect on the positives, the fun, the exciting adventures, and the sad moments, all make for a colourful story.

The Daily Telegraph Newspaper: April 25: Editor: "It was an absolute pleasure working with Jacqueline on this interview. Some people are commenting that this is a fake story. I can assure you it is not. Jay 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
