How to Find Love Later in Life

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!

I am a 52 years young and raising three of my grandchildren-I know my situation is not unique for many baby boomers. I find that most men in my age range do not want young children in their lives. They have raised there families and do not want the responsibilities of raising more. I do not want to spend the rest of my life alone. I would like a companion that will except my children. I am not sure this will ever happen. Any advice on this subject will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Wouldn't it be nice if there were such an establishment (I've given it thought to have one myself) or have a type of 'Four Seasons' functions with themes i.e. backgammon, ping pong, Wii competitions, Kareoke, Family Fued, just fun things to do to not only break the ice, but keep things casual and at the same time if nothing else, being able to cajole with potential spouses.
