After his wife of 48 years asks for a divorce, an eccentric old codger embraces single life and modern dating in the search for a new girlfriend.

This would be funny for sure.? ?Why do I want this old codger to find love...what's at stake if he doesn't?

You have a nice setting for a comedy and I see the potential for plenty of laughs, but, there is no real goal or obstacles for the man to overcome. Also, his motivations for taking any actions are unclear.

I think the story hangs on the reasons for his wife leaving him. If she left him for another man, then his goal is not a new girlfriend, but a trophy wife. If she left him for a richer man, then maybe he looks for a still richer wife.

The other problem is that eccentric can mean many, many things. How does his eccentricities help or hamper him in his new situation?

As for ipg's reservations about tender and co., I think it depends on the man's age. After 48 yrs the man might be 66, if he married right out of high school. This is the Atari generation. The first generation to embrace the PC. A techie from that generation might be an avid smart phone user even today.

This is a cool idea, and I really get a sense of personality from the way you described the old man as an eccentric, old codger! I can imagine the shenanigans he would get himself into around dating apps and catching up with 'new ways'. Logline is pretty concise (I agree with dpg on the 'divorce' wording) and it generally sounds great!
