Would think most you ladies are so over dating by your 50's.   You don't need a man in your life to rationalize your existence.  It's time to focus on your, kids, grandkids & your legacy!

    I guess we know different type of people. What I find, is no matter what your age, women whether 16 or 60, we both want the same thing. We want a tender relationship; someone to hold our hand, smile with us, laugh with us, to have a pal to hang around, with a possible future. It sounds like to me, you weren't the one for her. Because if you were, you could stop her world from revolving! Kids, grand-kids, and legacy are all excuses for you weren't enough for her to turn around and say "I have a new path, and I'm doing this for me!"

      I fnd this quite often, their kids do have a great influence over them.  It's nice to have someone looking out for one. but a bribe from the children?

       

      I guess I could never stop ones world from revolving... nice way to put it Sharon.  Years ago I may had been a great catch, but others worlds were revolving at the time. I'm finding I'm a part of nothing, have apparently little in common, & little to share.

        I'm 66, and have the same problem. I live in a rural community in southern Illinois, and there isn't a lot of single older folks here. I tried an online dating site, but most men are an hour or more away. The few that are close to me are either looking for "Barbie" or they are on assistance and can't afford to care for themselves, let alone offer 50-50 in a relationship.

         

        You might try a church older Single's Group if there is any in your area. Now there's a group under served! They have widowed singles, young singles, but seldom older singles. Just be cautious and safe!

           I would be leery about the people on dating sites. There are a lot of fake profiles and scammers. I see this all the time in the senior groups on Facebook. It's better meeting face to face. I do wish there was a chat group on AARP site.

            I agree with you about meeting in-person.
