I've been single now for 12 years, thought I could never be alone. Married & Divorced 2x, 1st 1 I was too young, 2nd was 15yrs & he cheated. I have become comfortable in living alone for the most part. I miss companionship, conversations, & snuggles along with a few other things. When I think of looking for a companion, I just don't know if I can give up my life the way I have it set now. Does that make sense? You think of all the what if things. Maybe it's just women who feel this way? I miss a lot of things being alone, and I just don't know if I could handle the change. I pray and ask God to lead me, I've told friends & family who always ask, do you think you will ever marry again, my response is, "If God sits him at my doorstep with a sign around his neck, from God ". I just turned 61 and my kids are adults, my grandkids are teens, I have a few hobbies, but just wonder if there is someone out there God has picked for me for the rest of my life?

We all make Personal Choices in life, hoping it is the best Choice. If you ask God for a spouse I am sure you may have to take some steps, whatever He leads you to do. He maynot put him on your door step with a sign.:smile:

Many Older people find it nice to just date for companionship. ONLINE maynot be the best area to choose that. Especially sites that are not geared toward Serious Relationship matches.

I declined Two Proposals from Men I dated in Person.
Oftentimes the person is not right for marriage. I am divorced for Years.

I wish You the Best in what you decide.

I have been single since early 2012. Yes, I too try till today to find a suitable, compatible companion to walk together to the sunset of life.
However, I too have the same apprehensions, wot if I have got too used to not sharing my bed! Wot if I can't share my personal space now! Moreover, the advent of virtual platforms and our presence there gives us the feeling that, all's well, and we shy away from socializing in real time and space. And this further builds up walls!

Before I conclude, may I wish all the very best, to all you 50+ singles in finding a companion :heart:
