Sit down and define "in love", then ask 20 different people to define it, and you'll find out that the definition varies from person to person. The main thing is for the two people to be compatible, and being able to enjoy each other's company. Isn't companionship a HUGE part of love anyway? I certainly think so.

HI,
I see you must still be young ....youve got alot to look forward to my friend ....love ...and being in love ...is as much if not more exciting when you are older as when you are young ...its tons more fun too ...because being an adult opens so many doors that are closed to young people PLUS you don't have all that peer pressure weighing you down...Ive got to say love is by far better when your older and the same with companionship ....nothing is wieghed down by inexperience no nervousness..just butterflies and fun....when your young life is hard, as far as love goes you know your going to get hurt at some time ...you know your going to grow away from your companions not closer, and a companion when your older is one for life because your already an adult.....and as far as needs go each one is a total different person personaly i love having love and companionship........ive got exciting fresh love with companionship. and Ive got friends like anybody eles does ...it is called platonic relationships that is what a non sexual relationship is called. years do not turn you into a diferent speices of animals it just ....gives you experience and confidence and each person SHOULD do what they want ...should they get together ????..are you serious???...no they should lock themselves away never speak to anyone ......you never know one word to a live soul could lead to .....who knows ....a {heaven forbid} ...friend????...ok back to the real world......in short when you become an adult the shoulds are up to each one personaly.

Not all middle age people are in a relationship.Not all are in love either.I have been divorced for six years now and I'm happy being single.I can concentrate on the things that are important to me right now without any distractions from a spouse or partner. I think alot of middle age people settle with whoever they can find and get along with just for the sake of having a partner.

All people need companionship. You can find love at any age. When you have been with someone for quite some time it goes deeper than love and fuzzy wuzzy feeling.

I fell in love with a beautiful and wonderful woman and I'm 53 yrs old. We are both young at heart and have so much fun and joy together that it's amazing and incredible. This is the first time I've ever been in love and I honestly feel that it's never too late to fall in love and it is such a beautiful thing.

Coming from a strictly male perspective, yes. Men need companionship or we self destruct (not ALL men, but a lot of men)... Companionship is good, love is better, and being alone is certain death.

i do believe as we get older our needs do change, we still need to love that person we are with, but alot of it is companionship and is usually built on complete trust of that other person. no i don't think we have to be in love, we do love that person but we don't have to feel the lust as when we were young. when we get older we seek different things, we no longer base how we feel on lust, and looks, but honesty, generosity, feeling safe, having someone who treats us well on an emotional basis. as we get older we look for security and respect, of course we do have to love that person, but it isn't about lust.

A middle aged person has earned the right to do whatever they want to do.
