I was never married. My son's father , I met him when I was 21 and lost him after tell him he was a father. I have met guys who wants only one nighter but i want more then that . Now that my son is 26,he wants me to fine some love and happeness in my life instead of just focusing on him. I gave up a lot to raise my son. So maybe the question should have been is there any one who would love me.

Love has no boundries or expiry date. We have preassure to have certain goals achieved by certain ages, but not everyone fits into the same cliche. I say get your single girls together, go to a speed dating night (if only for a laugh) and just get back out there. Do things which make you feel good, like getting your hair done, buying new clothes etc. Just remember life is for living. So get back out there, just don't expect to mean Mr Right straight away. Just do it for yourself and for the experience. Anything else is a bonus. Wish you all the luck from one single girl to another!

I'd like to think love can knock on your door at any age. At least I hope so! I'm almost 40, and recently came out of a long term relationship with the very big fear of never finding anyone else to love. I think as long as you keep yourself in the loop (i.e. have a social life,), and keep an open mind, that eventually you will find someone to love and who will love you in return. Don't give up, alright!!!

I know many people 50 and MUCH older who make very happy second marriages! Think of what you have going for you: interests,stability, experience, an established value system that is attractive to men with similar values. Do not repeat whatever did not work in your prior relationship. T Try joining organizations that reflect your interests and values. Similar people will be there. Don't look for a man in bars! Be true to yourself! Good luck to you. You will find love.

I don't think love stops knocking. I think we stop hearing the knock, or if we do, we get scared and refuse to open the door.
I know plenty of women who have married, some for the first time, past the age of 50. My own mother, when she divorced at 47, could easily have been remarried. She was so hurt by my father that she chose not to go out with the very nice men who asked her out. She didn't want to go through that again. She regrets it now.
Don't be like that. Be open to love, so that if it comes knocking, which it so frequently does, you are ready to open the door and open your heart.

i'm sorry you had that journey, in case you probably did certainly journey that... this communicate board isn't the most difficulty-free in the international. i'd say that some human beings react badly to what they sense is a cult and also you may meet those with very good emotional reactions. human beings aren't any further logical robots and frequently our thoughts get the better individuals. this does no longer make it ok, even with the indisputable fact that it isn't without presidence. the actual shown actuality that then you definately generalize to all Protestants and all Catholics.. shows an emotional reaction on your section. Logically and without emotion, you should finish that this develop into the reaction of persons and not in any respect representative of the Christian faith as an complete. So what you're gaining understand-how of is that human beings are emotional.. and frequently our thoughts get the better individuals. Welcome to the guy international. God Bless and Shalom! (peace in Hebrew)

Lady,
Love does not stop knocking on any door, but you need to be standing close enough to the door to answer it fast!
Start by going out and getting a few new outfits, get your hair done, makeup updated...Feel good about yourself.
Join things, go places, find friends, volunteer. Do stuff you like and you'll find someone like-minded.
Hey....50 is the new 25!

You have all the chance in the world. 50 is a very young age and believe me, there are people your age out there who would love to meet a beautiful selfless person like you. Pluck up some courage and go out to meet people. You will be fine :). Take care

Yes, you have the most chances. Before 20, people are too careless to care about love; before 30, they are too busy with school and career; before 40, too busy with making money and kids; before 50, trying to find their true self; after 50, ready for a committed relationship, find the best partners, and happily spend with them over 30 years of their lives.

Actually it never knocked on my door
It just barged right on in!!!
But seriously, I've seen people fall head over heels in love who were faaaaaar older than 50 - there's always a chance of finding love and marriage - even for people over 80!!
