Don't bother with those internet dating things or any kind of match-making schemes - they are filled with people who choose only what they want you to know and see, it's all a bit too contrived. Best thing is to get out into the world - do voluntary work or take up some new activities ie. a sport, keep-fit stuff, cookery classes, learn bridge (great for regularly meeting loads of different people - you can also arrange to play at each other's houses which makes for good socialising). Take a look around you - sometimes what you are looking for is closer to home than you think. And don't be fooled into rushing into a relationship just to avoid being lonely or left out. You don't have to have a regular partner to give your life "real meaning" - just keep being open to the possibilities of making new friends and everything else will follow in time....

OK, I'm an old married broad and I can tell you from experience that the dating world has changed a lot since you were in it! First I would tell you to check your ego at the door and not even try to go out with young women. They will make fun of you to your face, take your money and stab you in your back. Then there are the 40's group that still have kids at home and that's a whole lot of trouble in itself. Now we come to our age group and older. Women our age want what we always wanted. A nice, well groomed, polite gentleman who will go out and dance, go to dinner and treat you like a lady. We want you to smile (need dental work? get it!!), we don't care about your thinning hair; we want you to be clean and have on nice clean and up to date clothes and shoes. We like clean-shaven (makes you look younger) and work on the nose hair/ear hair thing. If you don't dance, take some lessons. If you drink, don't get drunk. If you smoke, be courteous to your non-smoking friend. Other than that, just be yourself and try to look a woman in the eye when you talk to her. Just say "is this seat taken?" "Hi, I'm Joe, and how are you tonight"? Ask her about herself and her life; current events. You might decide to move on right then and there. Please don't start trying a line on her to get into bed; she's too wise for that. Just be a nice guy...they don't always finish last you know. You will be the "new guy" and the women will out number you 2-1 so you should be in the swing of things real soon. Good luck to you!

It's not easy to date no matter what age you are...butI guess at 50 it can be even more challenging. The women you meet all have 'baggage'...know what I mean? Kids, grandkids, exhusbands, exboyfriends, all that stuff. Work isn't good because of the obvious reasons. How about your friends? Do they know someone they could introduce you to? How about joining something?There are all sorts of activities...exercise, drum circles (they are popular in my area), or you could try a dating site...but I don't know. As long as you trust that the woman you meet on a dating site is really available. Take a chance and post your name on a dating site...it can't hurt. If nothing else, it can help you to be not so shy. Try someone international...and then you can schedule a vacation to visit her! Go back to school...take night classes...even if its computer classes...and then if you don't meet anyone, at least you are getting a bit of an education!

I am also currently 50. Like yourself I was out of touch with the whole dating scene a couple of years ago. Myself, I don't remember how, but somehow got connected to a dating site on the internet. It was called FindSomeone.com. At the time it was a free service but I think it is a pay service now. Anyway, I felt like the biggest loser ever going to that extreme to try and connect with a woman. Well I found a lot of losers and users on there but I also found the brightest spot of my life also. I met a woman to whom I am now engaged and will marry next May. We chatted for long time using our aliases and finally she gave me her name and I called her on the phone. After a while we agreed to met and we spent the day together learning about each other. My car broke down and I never figured that this woman would want to see me again. But much to my surprise and amazement she did want to see me and we started dating. We live about 2.5 hrs. away from each other so we talk on phone each night and spend each and every weekend together.
Live is very funny as when I first started using the internet to find a date I felt like the biggest loser. But the reality of this situation is that I ended up being the biggest winner as I have found the lady who will spend eternity with. We love each other very deeply and respect each other also. Both have been through other relationships and are 100% honest with one and other. So this is one way of meeting someone but there are lots of others also.
Best of luck to you on your quest to get in touch with females again.

Hello, I am in my mid 50's. Unless you live in a town with hundreds of singles whever you go, it is close to impossible to find decent signles. I am single after 26 years. The best place to meet sinsles is here on Yahoo Personals. But be careful. Some are nuts but some are wonderful and worth getting to know/
You are far from being too old. Romance & passion is hotter now than when you were young. It is great.
You might have to kiss a lost of froggettes before you find your princess. Best wishes

Well, I was only 40 when I was single again, but I started taking dance lessons and met dozens of women, including my current wife. I enjoyed it because it is an activity that can pass for excercise, it is social, and the type of people you meet tend to be fairly educated and interested in more than sitting around watching television. Here in Texas there are lots of dance halls and night clubs where they offer free dance lessons in a group setting for free, or maybe only a few dollars. Anyway, that worked for me and I still go dancing. Plenty of people over 50, too.

you are never to old to date. You just need to find the right place to start dating again. The place you go says allot about the people you will meet and have the same interest that you do. Go somewhere you know you are going to enjoy, bar, bowling, start going to the gym, you know what i mean.
Once you start approaching you won't want to stop lover boy.
Don't expect to have a girlfriend in one to two days, start off by making friends, and from there relationships will seem easy. You never forget, is like riding a bike.
Good Luck.

You are not getting too old now! What you should do is have your friends set you up w/someone or how about your neighbors? Also, there are many single women who play Bingo so you should try that if it is in your area. You should stay away from bars and other places related to that as that will only cause you problems. There is someone out there for you and you will find her soon! Good luck.
