LOVE is hard too come by it takes two people who will work at it

That's very true.
Welcome to 50 and over. Keep posting. You may not find love but you may make some new friends.

Welcome to the 50 and over forum. I hope you stick around and let us get to know you!




Yes, it does take two to work at it. It is a give and take situation. Most want to take only and never give. At our age we are set in our ways so it just gets harder because neither wants to give.

The key word is working together. Together is not seperately.

Some even say they would like to work it out, but still go back to there old ways the minute the words are out of there mouth. Promises are not keep by some. I am talking from a recent experience. If you do open up you are subject to hurt but if you don't you will never have the
experience. Take chances and live or sit back and let life pass you by.

To me it's more of a give give situation. Or maybe give/receive, but not much taking going on.

Music, why do guys expect us to give and give?
They don't want to have a 50/50 relationship, it more of 85/15. The 85 being women.

A promise to them is just a word and means nothing to them.

In my opinion...if each person puts the other person first in the relationship, then it will work with a smile. We have to remember that being 2 is far more than the 2 involved (a play on words that means synergy).

Welcome to the 50 and over forum. Post and have some fun meeting all the wonderful people on here. Let us get to know you and make some friends here.

Frederick, welcome to the group/family.
Come get to know us & let us know you.
Never know what you might find, all the ladies are fantastic, with each her own special qualities.
A little low on gentleman visitors, so a new guy always gets plenty of attention.

Love takes work, like anything that is worthwhile.

You get from love, what you put into it.

Hey Sage check the profile.....Frederick is a woman looking for her prince charming. Whoops!

SOOOOOOO SORRY

(egg all over MY face)

Well, just take out the male referance stuff & welcome to the family.

Please forgive me, after all I am MALE.

HG I don't plan on being the only one giving in a relationship. I expect both parties to give 100% of their love, attention, and everything else to each other. I know a lot of us here have had past relationships that didn't live up to that but you have to move on. I also know that some of us have had relationships where you feel you have met your soul mate. It doesn't mean that you can't love again. Those people will always have a very special place in your heart. But, again, I believe life moves on. Someday we will all be with those loved ones again. I just hope that for me it's not too soon. I also don't believe in falling for someone too quickly but when I do I expect it will be wholeheartedly.

Thanks Music!

Guess I'm just a true romantic. Can't help myself.

<<---takes 85%

I guess I am too. Every time I say I will not give anyone else a chance I seem to do it anyway. Right now I am just thankful for my friends here because you guys have really made a difference in my life.
Great pic Music!!!!!

then i guess u can't be on my list

Thanks July. That was New Years Day. My grandmother's 94th birthday. She's been a big part of my life.

Well if you only take 85% but give 100% I could work with ya..

I would like to what is it about us older (but better) ones and finding even a companion. It is not easy (nor am I). Hum maybe that is the problem think so??????

I met a guy on here right after I came on and he laid it on pretty thick and I just thought I would wait it out and see where it was going, as he said he wanted to meet me. That was not a problem only that he lived in Florida and I am in Iowa. Wellll his thought of meeting me was to move to Iowa and we become aquainted that why....I do not have stupid written on my forehead so that ended fairly quickly after I figured out the real reason for meeting in such a hurry.......but I think with each new experience there is a lesson, real love takes time to grow and nurture.

Thanks for listening to me, I have wanted to tell this for a long time, I even left the site for awhile, but I am back now........
