Hi everyone. I am new to dating. I was married 22 years. Meet when she was 19 and I was 22. We were together almost 5 years before marrige. Now 27 years later I am alone. This was not suppose to happen, but it did. So here I am looking to meet someone to share my life with. Any advise on dating would be appricated.

Man, I hear you --- I was married for almost 20 years, been a widow for almost 5. It's hard to start over. We always think "I shouldn't be having to go through this!" And there are so many people out there whose baggage has baggage. Wish there was a magic formula --- butif there is I haven't found it yet.

Hi and Welcome

I have the same problem for 37 years,but the reason is different;I 'm looking for a girl that has the same Eyebrows like me.Because I don't want my genetics to be changed.

But you look like a good man and I'm sure that you will meet your princess,but it's better to wait for the Princess than dating all her Maids until she comes.

I believe in fate and if it's going to happen, it's going to happen (eventually). Just hang in there. I've found that a cat and a laser pointer goes a long way as far as passing the time till she comes around :P

WOW......I'm of the "better to have loved "ilk""

but for me to pontificate to "YOUR" life experience would be so presumptuous and (looking for sophisticated word here) freegin LAME!

I was married for 25 years when my husband died. Happily and successfully I might add. I've known others who lost their spouse and were content to remain alone. Others might think that was because their grief was so deep, when in fact some of them didn't have a very good marriage and were relieved to be left alone. I liked my relationship with my husband and would like to find as good a fit once again. I just know how good it can be. Originally I wanted to find someone to go dancing with, but now find I'd appreciate more than that. I don't know how to do that either! Dating? Who ever thought they'd be dating in their 50's? Not only are the general dating expectations different, age and life experience changes the situation too. It's difficult to figure out. If you get any insights, I'd really appreciate them too!
