When is too late to start looking for a life partner?
It's never too late to find companionship. We are social animals and need that human contact.

                                        When you want it to be. However, be careful, I just made a posting about the number of cons (mostly men) out there looking for someone they can take advantage of.
When my dad died (at 67) we encouraged our mom to look around (she was only 55). She did find someone but he was a low level con. Luckily she didn't have any money but he was always "borrowing" what little she had. She complained all the time and we told her to drop him. Unfortunately, she was weak and always answered she didn't want to hurt his feelings. He finally disappeared when she died (he didn't even come to her funeral). It can be a jungle out there.

                                        A sad story.
How awful. Thank you for sharing your experience.
@Irene This was in Dallas. My family lives there and I am from there. My late partner was also living in Dallas (Plano) when we met.
When you're dead. After that it's just creepy.

Maybe it's never too late, but I can see a case where it might not be a bad idea to take a break. You can want something so much that it can cloud your judgment and lead to bad decisions. That would be a good opportunity to stop for a bit and reassess your motivations. But not because it's "too late".

                                        I don’t think you should be working on it. Just be open to meeting new people and getting to know them. It might be better in the long run than looking for a life partner. Seems pressure-y for you.
