I'm way out of your requested age range, but I just wanted to say that you are exactly right!  You are far too young to give up!  (I have no idea how old you are, but that is not relevant!)

 

Believe me!  I used to work in a church and I've seen people get married of all ages -- from early twenties to mid-eighties.  Love can happen no matter what the age!  Several people in my extended family have found love later in life -- ranging in age from late 40s to mid 80s -- each of whom found love after a divorce or a death.

 

I wish you the best of luck in this!

I agree with YW.  I've done weddings for couples in their 70's and 80's.  Good luck with the approach you're taking here.

I took a peek at the photo album.,  Suddenly I wish I was a little older....and single....and nice....oh well....

Redbaron lol!!

 

No suggestions from me but sending some good wishes your way Shaaron.

 Thanks very much for your words of encouragement.  You give me hope!

 You might have better luck with a dating site.  Just filter wisely!  I used one for a while and found that dating followed Murphy's law:

Either I wasn't meeting anyone date-worthy, or else I was meeting tons of people, both online and in real life where if I wanted to I could have a date every night of the week for weeks (but who has time for that?)!  I was actually on a dating website when I started seeing my current fiance (who I knew from real life and not a dating website).

 

Good luck!

I am in the same boat.  On my own late fourty's 3 kids 21 18 and soon 16.  Where do you go to meet people.  At church they are married or too young.

Maybe you could try signing up for a class in something - creative writing?  photography? water color? philosophy?  volunteer?   

LOL married yes a good number but too young. The UC that I attend has no shortage of seniors in the congregation but the majority are probably still married. I guess in this case you could say they are either married or too old.

Mmmm, I've signed up for a creative writing class, and also a class in understanding Islam commencing next month.

Does this mean I'm going to end up with Salman Rushdie? 

 

 

Where are you Shaaron?  I'm 59 and single.

Pilgrim - be careful you don't end up in a burkha.

If money wasn't an issue yes I could sign up for a class.  Until they are giving free classes I'm out of luck.

Hey I'm 51 with a 19, 17, and 15 year old.  I've done classes and dating sites and speed dating-but just sporadically.

Would like a kindred spirit!

When I read Serenas puppy love thread I am gladly taking myself off the "market"- that sounds like too much work for me.

I don't know about that.

 

Now that I'm a woman "of a certain age", wearing a burkha has an appeal that I hadn't formerly considered.

 

(I still have my "come to bed" eyes). 

 

Get a dog.

 

Jae,

The advantage of having a human partner is, when you go on a walk with him you don't have to pick up his poop.

Well said Mrs. Anteater!

 My apartment won't allow dogs.  I would dearly love to have a dog.  I love dogs.  

My partner discovered that when he had to walk a very cute tiny pup it attracted young ladies instantly.  So much so that ever after he called that dog Chick Magnet.

Nothing to offer, I'm afraid, but encouragement. My mother died relatively young (late fifties) and Dad did remarry when he was in his early sixties (an older woman, no less). They've been together twelve or so years now. So it can happen and it can work.

 Thanks very much for your comments, suggestions and words of encouragement!

 

I find this quite hilarious, Shaaron.  I hope when you meet a man that he is not a "dog" so that you can bring him back to your home.  Men can be such dogs.  hehe

Ah, and women can be such bitches.

(Sorry possums, I just couldn't resist it!) 

Shaaron .... have you thought of moving?

Dogs are such wonderful company. I can't imagine my life without mine!

 Sorry - I  fit the rest of the bill but I am gay! Best of luck.     Jim
