Meeting people over 50 is easy. Meeting people over 50 who are still dating is not so easy. For those of us who are over the age of 50, things have traditionally been a lot harder to meet someone new.
I have been in love and married three times now. I have many regrets at my age, and almost all of them have to do with men. My first marriage ended almost as soon as it started. We were too young for the commitment and it broke us, as it does so to many young couples.
My second marriage lasted a little longer. I had my first child with my second husband. He will always be the father of my child, and for that I am eternally grateful that I met him. I regret that I was not a better wife to him.
My third marriage ended with me finding out about his affair. It was not pretty and I was a wreck. I turned 52 after the divorce papers were signed, and I truly never thought I would date again. I have since learned that this is not a true statement.
Meeting people over 50 who are not married proved to be a struggle. Since what I was doing was not working, I decided to let someone else do the work for me. I decided to try online dating. It took me awhile to find the right site. There were a lot of reviews about the dating website I decided to use. I filled out their questionnaire in a matter of minutes. It surprised me how much information they wanted to know about my likes and dislikes. I felt like I was on a date with a computer for the first time. I really could not help but laughed at some of the questions.
I went along with my life, and three weeks later I had a match. My first meeting with James was at a nice little Spanish restaurant. He and I had so much in common from the start, and are still dating 3 months later.
Meeting people over 50 does not need to be hard, just try online dating. You don't have anything to lose.
