Old grandmother wants to have fun

I've been single for exactly three years now. The breakup really hit me hard, and it took me a while to get over it. I've put that behind me now and am looking for my dream man again.

This is a real challenge for me! I'm a very introverted, shy woman, and my best friend suggested I do this. She thinks I should date someone; she says I need it. So, I have to admit, I don't have much experience, and I'm a little embarrassed about that.

I'd almost say the older you get, the hornier you get, because I have an even greater desire for sex than I did in my teens. If you're the same way, let me know soon.

My whole life, I've had to hear people tell me I'm not beautiful. Sometimes I even hear people whisper that they think I'm ugly. It hurts. It's made me so insecure. And that's why I've never had a man. Really, never. I'm that insecure. And yet, I'd love to. But then you have to promise me not to judge me by my appearance.
