The headline promises HOW to find love, not why, or what to do when you find it. I've spent 15 years trying all the usual with no success; the only men interested are those who'd make my friends slap me upside the head, What were you thinking?
Yes, I've tried volunteering, clubs, hanging out in public places, attending fundraising social events, online dating, asking friends to set me up (every one of them told me "all the single men I know are single for a reason"), talking to men on trains and planes, etc. I was hoping for some Outside The Box suggestions.

Living life and finding love is not without risk at any age. Yet, life should be lived and we cannot truly live without love. Yes, cats and cocoa are nice, but warm, sweet lips are way better.

Honey, sorry you're so down on men or the thought of finding a good one in your senior years. I was a happy independent, not lonely but in fact busy with friends and all my varied interests. Then a man came into my life, age 65. I am 66. We've turned back into kids and are having the time of our life, and the sex of our life. So cats and cocoa might be good; so are dogs and wine but they are no substitute for being open to the possibilities of life.

In reference to whom ever said" stay home with your cats, hot cocoa and a romance novel"you can kiss my ass. Being a secure person with a life to live and share why would I just close up shop and quit??? Besides, I hate cats. To older active daters, have FUN, be smart and safe, enjoy life and other people...do not stay at home read a book alone while drinking cocoa.

If you ask me the biggest mistake boomer and seniors are making is attempting to date at all. Most of the time the men are nothing but players. They act like roosters in a henhouse, and there are too many desperate old hens out there. I hear in Florida alone there's something like 25 women to every one man amongst the over 60s...and the men take total advantage of that, no thanks to Viagra! The AIDS rates amongst seniors is rising higher than any other group. Who needs that drama? Ladies, it's a game you are NOT set up to win, and the older you are the more likely you will lose. So forget it and just stay home with your cats and hot cocoa and a romance novel. Much safer. Leave the dating game to those under 30.

There are groups at www.Meetup.com where you can find people with similar interests and just socialize. I have started to participate in the Meetup activities because there isn't pressure to meet "the one," you are simply making new friends. You have to be a little brave to just go out and meet the group, but I have always had fun once I was there. :) Try it!
