Where/how is a 60 year old man going to find a new love??? I don't attend church, I don't go to bars, and my workplace is not appropriate. Although a lot of young girls have hit on me, I am not interested in one night stands. I am looking for a partner, not just sex!

Don't get stuck in all the things you don't do... it is time to change what you used to do and get out and meet people. not just to date but just to get back in the habit of making friends as a single person.
There are a lot of us out here looking for relationships too!

Are you really ready yet? Maybe the time you spend on wondering if you will ever find someone else could be better spent on looking at yourself and re-constructing yourself into a better person. Guilt and guilt trips are very deteriorating and can really make a person less confident in their good qualities.
What are your good qualities? What are your "less than perfect" qualities? Are you a better person than you were 20 years ago? Why did your marriage end? Did you both stop growing or did you just "shut down" and quit trying?
Find out as much as you can about what was successful and what was lacking in your former marriage. Change the things about yourself and "update" YOU. Strengthen the areas that need attention and work on the areas that are not becoming.
What you have is another chance to live your life with a remodeled interior that even YOU can live with and be proud of. I guarantee...when you reach this point...amazingly...you will meet the person who has been doing the very same thing and you will both bring a new perspective and a more positive life energy to the relationship.
Good luck to you and your future endeavors.

Well, there are a lot of things you can do, but you have to be ready to put yourself out there. There is always Craigslist but the people on there can be seedy. You should look into some community activities, see if there is a Senior Center in your area that sponsor activities for others in your age range. Just get out there and try new things you are interested in. At the least, you will make new friends and have some fun! Best of luck to you!

Dear Billy Bob, I'm divorcing after 30 years, I understand what you are saying here, and doesn't it just suck!!! For me I'm moving as far a way as I can from "him". To a certain degree I like being alone, I have a dog and two cats that depend on me plus one child who's 22, she doesn't depend on me, but is the love of my life. Best to you, just get out there and mix it up a bit, take off the blinders and do something good with your time you have off from work, you will find someone someday.

I got divorced after 25 years of marriage and I am now married again. I am married to a man that I went with when we were just teenagers. You need to have one of your guy friends set you up with a woman. If you have grown children then have them introduce you to someone who is also divorced.

I would try friends your age. As long as they don't feel awkward doing so friends are almost always your best option to meeting people that you would like and that wouldn't involve being in those places.

Dating websites are great if you're looking for something serious. Why do you feel like you have to re-marry anyway?

go on vacation, take a cruise, go on a casino tour, get yourself out there to be social. Hope you have good luck
