How optimistic are you in finding a solid, satisfying relationship at this stage in life? What motivates you to seek relationships?
While not opposed I'm not seeking.
If the right person comes along, so be it.
Am 85, lost my wife 12 years ago after 53 years of marriage. From about 20 years old have had a female friend, and over the years of my marriage she and i shared time together, now we visit every weekend, do lunch, maybe a movie...and it ALMOST enough, but the memories keep bumping into the realities of today....but we do have something we will share forever...
I'm not very optimistic about it. I'm in my late 40's and it just seems majority of men do not want a committed relationship. So, I will keep looking but remain single until the real Mr. Right decides to stop riding around on his navigationally challenged turtle.
I am cautiously optimistic.
There's a lot of single women in the world. At least some of them have got to be near my age, and smart enough to look beyond appearances.
I do wish women in general would get beyond the Cinderella story. Looking for a prince with an enchanted castle may be just the ticket if you are looking to start a family, but at my age....let's be a bit more realistic, shall we? I don't want mind-blowing sex every night, I don't need someone who matches my every like and dislike, or is hoping I will fix everything that's wrong with their life.
I just want a shared space to be, because life is more fun when you have company.
I just want to find someone who likes the little things. I don't feel that age has anything to do with a relationship.
Always possible, as long as you're breathing ! Haven't you ever heard of couples that met in nursing homes, and ended up marrying ?
But you need to believe it's possible yourself ...
Just met someone myself, at the gym, a couple months ago. Out of the blue ...
My thinking that I’ll be single forever has a lot more to do with my personality than the fact that I’m nearly 52.
I’m not currently seeking a relationship, and don’t know that I would ever actively seek one.
You've got to be happy with yourself and where you are in life before you can ever expect someone else to be happy with you. That's a mantra to live by no matter what your age is......
Yeah.... I'm completely optimistic on that aspect of aging.
Not optimistic at all. Loneliness.
Come on. Let's be optimistic a little. And do something to not feel lonely. How about you start sending some sweet loving notes to the ladies here? Hope someone will get back to you and make you feel not lonely eventually. Trying to cheer you up. I guess you lived way more years than me, with all those experiences, especially with the good ones, do some magic. I experienced loneliness but I don't want to compare. But I know you can find someone awesome for you. Wishes. Summer time.. let's go hiking and meet. ; )
@AnandaKhan It was mostly sarcasm. I can't get into my messages. The site can't seem to fix it. Therefore l can't communicate with people on this site. Thanks for the reply. ?
