Answer 2

Yes you can find love at any age.As we get older what we are looking for in a partner is different than what we were seeking in our youth.We tend to focus less on the superficial and more on substance. We don't think of wrinkles as a flaw but a sign of character and a sign you have experienced life.We have learned time is finite and learned to appreciate it more.Life is not measured in years but how we live each day.There is someone out there for you.Join clubs,volunteer, take courses at college to learn new skills,attend community dances and outtings.At the very least you will make new friends and maybe a soulmate. There is a whole world of people just waiting to meet you.Good luck.

Answer 3

I agree, it's not easy! I'm 52, and found a partner 2 years ago.. The wrong partner, tho... gulp.

What I've learned from it is not to be in a hurry to find someone, to live my life as usual, to not actually 'look' for a partner at all -- the right person will come along when the time is right. I know how 'cliche' that sounds, but it's really true. Getting actively involved in areas that matter to you, will put you in touch with ppl who share your interests. From that, who knows what could happen?

And when that person does come along, spend time getting to know each other. I mean REALLY getting to know each other, being real and honest with each other, learn to communicate well with each other, etc.

Doesn't matter if I'm getting older, being in a hurry because of that sure wasn't the right answer, for me anyway. If it's meant to be it will happen. For any of us. No matter how old we get, waiting for the right person will be so totally worth that wait!

Answer 4

If the feelings and desire are there I don't see why not. Recently at our small lunch circle a new "lass" was introduced. We got on well enough, but later I realized feelings had surfaced that I thought were forever dead and buried with my late partner. I am not following up on this a I would not cause her distress for the world. Just the fact that at 62 I can still feel that tender regard is enough.

Answer 5

I would say go to either http://www.match.com or http://planetout.com because on eHarmony you can't search same sex (at least you didn't use to be able to, even all the couples on the commercials are straight). I would suggest planetout though it's not just personals it's all gblt stuff and news... it's such a fun site and you'll be able to meet people close to you :) If that doesn't work I'd try buying the Out! magazine and see if you can send in an ad with a pic and see if you get any responces... Good luck I hope love finds you!!!

Answer 6

Yes, my sister married her husband when he was in his 60's & she was in her 40's. It isn't necessarily easy to find partners when one is older, but it's certainly possible.

Answer 7

i am only 48 but i know for a fact that i am a sexy confident woman and i can get a man or woman anytime. i will still be sexy at 60 because i care about myself and finding a partner will never be a problem.

Answer 8

Yes, it may take longer, but it is out there. I know people who married for the first time in their fifties. Life isn't over at fifty. It's just better.

Answer 9

Sure we can it just takes a little longer to find the right person. We are a little more aware of what we want and dont want. Dont give up

Answer 10

Well at at age, everyone has history (baggage) which they bring to the relationship.Yes it is possible to find someone at that age, and some are living very happy because of it.
