@soconfused321,
Since you're not supposed to go public with the old guy, why not date the new guy? seriously.
75 miles isn't a big distance. People commute that distance to work everyday where I live. For a couple of dates a week, it is certainly doable.
Why make a lifetime commitment to anyone at this point? enjoy yourself. date. have fun with men and women you know.
Let the old guy know he can get in touch once he's got himself sorted out. If you're still available and still interested at that point, you can reconsider him.
You're 60, not 110. Enjoy yourself and try to relax
