Dating at 50

weeder · 02-19-2006, 12:58 PM

Anyone here dating at this stage of the game? What do you think the odds are of loving again, at this age? I was out for dinner with a date last night. The food was great.... the company left a lot to be desired. I wished I could have had my dinner here in the garden. Any interesting dating tales?

It can be done Weeder, not for the faint of heart though...!!

The pickins are slim to none in the love department, but if your out to have fun and meet others its OK.

Actually I have more fun with men about 10 to 12 years younger than myself not so bitter about life, like men my age are...!!

A co-worker (48) put in an online ad, and she's been seeing the guy for about 4 months now. She seems very happy and they're going to Las Vegas next weekend. Personally, I can't be arsed.

I took a time out... bad mood, don't you know. That's probably why I don't bother going out.... I just don't have room in my small apartment for the corpses of the dates that pissed me off.

there is a large elderly population in florida, and many of them widows/widowers...i see many weddings in that age group! i don't think there's a cut-off age for love.

That was exactly my next comment... men from about 48 and up cant seem to get beyond being angry about past relationships. This man is kind, generous, funny,and very much loved by people in our small town here. Ive known him for years. Hes really only got one thing on the brain though... the big pay off. Which I find so shallow. I like to go out also to just laugh and laugh. I just cant seem to let go of the idea that its got to be great for me to get involved. Im not selling out.

DITTO Snooze, I just can't play the dating game for now, would much rather read a good book..

Well...........................I went on the internet at 48 because I could not find a good date. I met BTS............the rest is history. DO NOT let anyone here tell you they feel sorry for me - he is the very best date and mate I've ever had. It must be because at this age there are no more illusions of lust or babies or happily ever after. There is lust, frienship and retirement. We talked for 9 months and met only 2 times during that time. He moved from California to NM a year ago and we were married last July. So you go and find the man/woman who suits you and to heck with anyone who tells you different.

A PS about my friend and her trip to Las Vegas. She had a great time and was eyeballing the "wedding gondola" at one of the casinos. I just hope she doesn't invite me to be a bridesmaid, I look awful in those kinds of dresses.
