What are the best things and worst things about dating someone over 50? Please share your stories and observations. Is it really any different dating someone over 50 than it was when you were younger? What about relationships? Are they more difficult or more easy?
oh, pick me:wink:
I have to say I have most times gone for men my age or a bit younger..........but what the heck.I met someone 16 yrs my senior when I was 47.The relationship couldn't work because he was to controling.If I didn't answer the phone I accused Of being out looking for a younger man.I might as well have been.Without trust you've got nothing.

Dating after 50 is tuff because after getting dressed to go out, sometimes a person forgets where they were going! laugh

Bet you look even better, the morning after.bigsmile bigsmile

I remember when we would be working in the yard, Gwen would be all sweaty, dirty & thought she stank. Give her a BIG hug & kiss & send her to the shower, with me close behind.
I would wake up early & read waiting for her to wake up.
What she thought was her worst, is still some of my best memories.

Think that is how life really is.

Wow!Almost teared up reading that.You sound like such a gem.flowerforyou :smile:

I find that since most of us have been married, and many divorced that we are scared of being hurt. Lots of men seem very interested in the beginning, and then when it gets past the getting-to-know-you stage, they start making statements about how they aren't ready for commitment. I want to point out that I did nothing to warrant them saying that - it seems that if they start enjoying my company they get scared.

Also, I get a lot of ..er..not sure how to say this..interest in physical contact only. No interest in getting to know me as a person..just sex. I'm sure that's not exclusive to this age group, but I wonder why some men avoid relationships and just want sex?

yes, but we can take care of it ourselves without having to resort to meaningless sex with some creep who doesn't care enough to want to get to know us.

Hikerchick, thanks. That was my point, exactly. I'm not saying men shouldn't want sex. I just dont' like being mislead about a man's intentions.

If you are "mislead", is that the guy's fault or your's for allowing it. I have "allowed my self" to be misguided by a couple ladies. I did things for them, that I prob. shouldn't have. I accept those facts.

Did you "allow" yourself to be "mislead"? What mistakes did you make? What could you have done different?

It is my OPINION, we all need to look at our own actions, before questioning other's actions.
