People are living longer and thus having active romantic lives for longer, and that means more marriages, divorces and relationships of many different kinds taking place later in life. Remember when you were a kid and the very sight of your parents kissing would make you squirm - thinking about that in that way just made you, I dont know, squeamish. Well, get over it. Now you might see grandma arm and arm with a younger man or your divorced father's profile on an Internet dating site, its a fact.What I find most interesting at this point is the whole dating scene. There is such a difference between what is available for men and woman.for single men the options are plentiful. We have all heard about how easy it is for a man to start dating in his fifties and how there are plenty of women to choose from.So I will wait and not settle. I am confident that my soul mate is out there. Someone who will appreciate what my age and wisdom brings to the partnership. I am happier than I have ever been and what I truly have learned is that I need a woman,truly and honestly.
