I never in a million years thought I would be sitting in my old age looking for someone to be with. Lost my husband to Cancer 4 years ago and this has been the loneliest time of my life. I have my Son and his fiance that live with me, but its not the same as having that special someone to share life with. Anyone else out there feel this way?

Yes I feel the same....Too old to search and too stubborn to give up!!! Message me anytime if you need to talk...no strings Craig

Thanks, I just might take you up on that sometime...Time to get off here and go to bed... Good nite

went on a tour of local animal shelter the other day with kids at my job...seriously considering starting up my crazy cat lady collection

Old age does not last long so... make the best of it

I Agree age is just a number. And I do like the higher numbers.

Agreed OP...it's so very lonely even WITH friends and family around.

Yes, thats good the older we get the more appreciative we should be.

That is so true about a million people are in the same boat... the important thing we must do is stay connected to family and friends. Mr.Right may come when you least expect it.

cripes I hope he doesn't come along when I least expect it..might run him over with my car

Life is what YOU MAKE of it. Don't talk to people, NOT even a friendship can grow. TAKE A CHANCE.

I have to agree with this... I know for me I have been single way more than I have ever been in a relationship. I had thought I would be single the rest of my life. So I built my life accordingly.

Loneliness is something a person seeks to be, IMO because of fear or lack of effort to be anything else.. Talk to people, join activities in your area. Friendships grow and who knows maybe someone will come a long and be the person you are supposed to be with..


I also never thought of 50's as being old... I don't think I will start now Old Age is a mindset not a number..

I think it's just a different perspective..I don't really think of myself as old..or lonely

Age is mind over matter. If you don't mind, it won't matter. I'm middle aged but I feel young inside and sometimes I forget that I'm over 50 !!

I agree about never ever dreaming id be trying to date at this point in my life. Divorced after 27 yrs his idea. I'm lonely... Live alone with my puppa dog. I've joined eHarmony and I'm thinking of moving to Atl, Ga to start fresh yet AGAIN! I have good job and I'm a good woman but it seems no one cares!

The good thing about getting old is your memory isn't as good as it once was so eventually you forget you're old and/or lonely.

See....there is a bright side to getting older.....if I remember correctly.

At what age do we becone "old" or does that depend on the society you live in?

that depends more on you than society

I hear ya, judy. I work 2 jobs to support my single self so i have no personal time. I'm surrounded by people at work and come home to an empty house.

I am an older single mum, who works three jobs to support myself and my son.. and yet im still lonely. sometimes just having someone to chat to is all you need
