I'm 55 & would just like to meet someone I can share conversation & meals with. Maybe go for a walk or take a drive; nothing fancy, just a caring companion. If it develops future, great, if not at least I've made a new friend.

Its really hard to meet someone, spend the time to get to know them, share intimate moments and then find out they don't want to commit. What in the world was the point of that.

It is hard to get back in the game of dating again,it is the same for ladies or men of not knowing if they want to try. To find someone that you want to share your life with is a good thing and no one needs to be alone. Age always matters to everyone they might not say it but it is in their mind. So be honest and open never do a long distance relationship it never works because of the not knowing what the other one is doing and where they are. Never jump into anything quick. It took us all a long time to get where we are and don't want to go back to where we were. Back when we were starting out when we were young, buying a house, making a family,or even raising kids. Heck my wife bless her heart almost never got me house broke.
I guess I am the same as most of you here and I will share my advice with you with what not to do. I guess I have dated 3 women sense I lost my wife, it isn't too much fun going through this. I do know now that If I date someone I want them to be my age or a little older, and want them to be in the same mind set I am. I will not be one of those people that sits on the porch and watch the world go by. I might not get in the express lane but I am going to live and love all the way to the end. Ladies ask to go dancing with the guy this will tell you everything about him and what you are getting. How he holds you and the way he treats you.

I am a 50 year old widow and I have given up on dating. Men over 50 only seem to want to date women 40 and younger. The few dates I have gone on the men are always hinting about sex by the second date. I am good looking, have a professional job, well traveled, and loads of fun. I have decided to hang out with my girl friends and just live life to the fullest.

working in the medical field I see a rise in STD's and AIDS in this age group I am 51 years old and very frightened about this, I'm soon to be divorced since my husband of only 4 years informed me that he has been hiring himself out to women for sex and it's been going on for the entire time we've been married. Not only are the diseases bad there is also a rise in hepatitis B and C from multiple sex partners.

Dating over 50 not for women, Men of 50 only want women in their 40's, Not if your 50 and work on looking like your 40. I will be 50 in three months, I am not interested in dating again. I dropped 10 lbs (hgt 5.6 150lbs) had my hair makeover, updated my make-up look, and went to Ross for affordable younger / tasteful clothes, and I am told that I am about 42. I feel confident and that even makes me look younger as well, so attitude, presentation, and getting back into physical shape will remove your insecurities of being over 50 and dating
