just because people get older romance does not need to stop, if you have found happiness whether there is a age gap or not just be happy, and s~d what others think:smile:

Twenty Something
Married as a teen what a shock to find myself single and dealing with it again. B wasn't bad just seemed too often it was boobs over brains that drew them.
Thirty Something
Moved to a target rich environment 5 males to every female sure upgraded the treatment. Found a keeper and considered myself off the market pretty much permanently. But grew a new appreciation for the woes of the male gender and some really disgust for a portion of the so called weaker sex.

Forty Something

OMG saw dating as a parent of teenagers and that scared the hell out of me. Seems like the internet pretty much changed dating to job resumes and got the hookers off the street but was a little longer before they got off the CB. Whatever happen to parent With Out Partners. A lot less snooty than millionaire matchmaker and a lot more realistic than waiting by the computer screen.

Fifty Something

Part of the sandwich generation made dating with kids seem easy. The odds are still good but many of the goods are more obviously odd. Somehow being one of the Odd ones doesn't seem as unusual or insulting. lol

Sixty Something

Please tell me there are a few traditional romantic nice guys that are not to crippled, crazy , or bankrupted to pick from. I don't need more friends ( well yea I could always use the loyal ones to stick around) but still not asking or giving pity sex. Is nice to go out with someone who can talk about something besides kids and work.

Seventy Something

I expect I will see a few still dancing and dining and tripping on the porch light stealing home late but I sure hope that isn't me. I want to be securely enwrapped in that last great loves arms. Keeping my fingers crossed ; still see romance happening at any age.

Eighty Something

Hope this doesn't mean shacking up in a retirement home.

Ninety Something

If I am still dating then I am writing a book and making my grandchildren rich.

Hmmm. Okay...

Twenty Something


THOUGHT it would be lots of fun, and filled with laughter, sex, and romance. Instead it was alternatively terrifying, depressing, thrilling, enthralling, and devastating.

Thirty Something


Got married. Had children. No dating.

Forty Something


Still married.

Fifty Something


Married for half of it. Recovering for the other half. Still no dating.

Sixty Something


Trying, but finding that it's just as hard as it always was. Except nowadays, women tend to be more direct when they say what they do and don't want. So far, my luck has been that I keep meeting wonderful women who are over a thousand miles away, and being turned down by those who live nearby.

Pacific I found it best not to look back but forward so for me its 50ish, and to be honest I really like it. Most people at that stage of life are secure in who they are and what they look like and are trying to find something real so they can enjoy their last act so to speak. I always worried about age when I was younger but now to be honest I like getting older, dating is so much better now.

I think I would fare better if dating in the Stone Age...

grumble daggone modern society ruining my game!

Whole "adult" life, same thing - TEENS to 40's: Learned what NOT to do in a relationship.

Looking forward - 50's: More learning what not to do...some people never get the lesson!

Teen Something

Very shy and insecure, had a 3 yr relationship, so didn't date much anyways


Twenty Something

Met my hubby at 22, the first two years no dates at all. Was trying to find my feet in Holland after 2 years abroad


Thirty Something

Married till 35, so no dating. After that a few dates, started to go out more... met my 2nd partner at 36, so again, no more dating. Dated him at first of course, had an awful lot of fun!

Forty Something

In relationship until I was 46, needed to seriously find my feet after that last relationship. Still haven't gotten the hang of dating. This 'planned & arranged see-if-you-like-each-other' chit is just not my thing. Time and energy consuming stuff. I'd rather just bump into someone. And of course I'd feel different about it all if I started meeting interesting men. Just the one would be enough :tongue:

So all in all, I seriously don't like dating to "meet and maybe more". I do like dating when I've met someone special. Been there with both my exes, loved it!

The rest ... don't know yet. I hope no dating, but in a loving relationship with the right one for me! love

THat's what my 80 something aunt does, hahahaha. And you should see the fire in her eyes!! She's having a whale of a good time!
My uncle (her hubby) died a few years back, whinging old f@rt, never allowed her to do anything. But she's catching up now. Think she's 85 at least, but a big flirt, and loving it!
Was absolutely wonderful to see!

At twenty six, I left my first ever boyfriend. We'd been together since I was fifteen. Tried dating after I turned twenty seven. It wasn't the best, to be honest. All
I seemed to find were immature men. I atattended a charity event, got talking to a guy older than me. We started dating, but very gradually. We were together for six years. Then he wanted to move to Australia. I told him I just couldn't do long distance, because I like to be able to hug my lover at least every few days, and it would be a struggle for me, mentally.


I've only been in my thirties for three years, but I see much of the same thing I always see. Not sure that I'd date a younger guy ever again. As we don't have much in common. I don't like nightclubs either, so that might put them off. So far, I've been quite a dedicated lover.
