I love living with just my dog. I wouldn’t give it up for anyone. I love crafts . Walking with my dog and watching movies and trying new recipes❤Reading is at the top of the list with going to church and bible study . God and Family is everything to me. I was married for 25 yrs and it was hard work
I actually got married at 60! Long story short, I met my husband after he moved to my state to be with someone he met online. It quickly fizzled, but he met me and we began the best relationship of my life. Neither of us had much money, but we worked together and recently purchased our new home, and are now both retired. If I hadn’t met him, I would still be open to dating because I have learned that if you keep your heart open, and use your head, the possibilities are endless 😍.
I love that you found someone compatible. I'm 56 and prefer a lot of solitude. I dated a guy for a couple of years and he is nice but we had polar opposite attachment styles so the relationship wore me down. I don't want to be with anyone that is demanding of my time and wanting to talk on the phone several times a day, with nothing much to talk about. I can spend time with him occasionally, but he wants more from a relationship than I'm willing to give.

Several friends were dating and were pressured into marriage too soon so they cut relationship off. Most older men are looking for a housekeeper with a purse. Casual dutch treat dating is fine, but most men want commitments. Introverted people like solitude more with less social activiy. Some women will marry for companionship as it's easier for couples to be social vs singles.
This was awesome! I found so many liars while dating, after my 40s, I eventually gave up. Ive learned to value my alone time but would love to have a friend. Im 70 now and find men to be greedy and fearful you want their hoard.
You covered the challenges and some solutions quite well. At 70, the dilemma for me is whether I actually have the energy to form a new intimate (emotional as well as physical) relationship. The puzzle pieces would have to mesh very very well for me to even consider it. I've had many many relationships in my life and I am just tired. Yes, I am lonely at times. But the enormous effort of starting over at my age doesn't seem possible. Not to mention all the risks involved.
Just find hobby and interest. I am 56 and can’t imagine living or being with anyone. I have many activities and hobby. I never feel lonely. Trust me after a while you love your space and definitely don’t want to share it with anyone. I do not have the energy or want any stress. I travel solo and love my own company
@charmainewalker8627 Sometimes I get tired of solo Everything. So many places I'd like to travel to but anxious about solo travel.

Besides, the number of men available at that age drops in proportion to the number of women. I agree, I'm a little older than you and I would see it as impossible for me.
I don’t know whether to to laugh or cry! I am a widow of 5 years, who is about to embark on a new marriage. The dearest fellow is 15 years younger and richer, by far, than I am. I am vital and young for my age, but the miracle of the matter is we share the same deep relationship with the LORD, the actual matchmaker. So blessed.
@ I have known him for 40 years, but never knew he was interested in me. Oddly enough, I was not interested in him . His being 15 years younger left him out of any consideration, even as a friend. God certainly does work in mysterious ways His wonders to perform.
So glad I came upon your channel. Nine years ago I was blessed to run into a gentleman I dated when I was 21 I will be 70 the end of this month we do have situations that we have had to make adjustments to but such is life. I'm very glad that God brought him back into my life.
I am 51 and have been divorced for 17 years. Had one 5-year relationship after divorce but have been single since. The only relationship I want is with the Lord and my 18-year old daughter.
🙌 and your 18 year old daughter will be needing you all of the way through!! We think sometimes that it ends at 18, but no way - that relationship can be a wonderful one- not clingy, but just being there consistently is such a blessing.
My husband died this year and after forty seven years of marriage and at the age of sixty seven I am no longer interested in dating. I love My life the way it is.
We are both 64 and have our own homes. We talk every day on the phone making sure we're okay and sharing our days experiences. We both have jobs but make time 12:59 out occasionally. Sex is still great after 4 years and we absolutely enjoy each others company , respect each other, honest and happy together. No plans to live together or get married and we're both happy with that arrangement . Can't ask for more after 2 divorces.
I think where you run into trouble after 60 is the age difference. If you a 60 year old women healthy and fit you better look for a partner that is at least 5 years younger. Most men aging much faster and do you really want to be a nurse later??? Think about that. I still hear the warning from my Granny in my ears: DON"T DO IT! Boy ,she was so right.
@@elisabethgardner6321 I’ve thought about that a lot So far everyone thinks David is younger than I am. We work hard together to stay in shape and eat right and hope for the best!
Just found you and subscribed! I’m almost 65 and he is 69. We met on Facebook. He messaged me and I decided to meet him for lunch with all the usual safety precautions in place. We ended staying until the restaurant closed. It’s such a delicious memory! We are together a lot but keep our separate residences. We enjoy social activities with friends, do lunch or dinner date nights just the two of us and also with friends, and have the most amazing sex. I was in a long term marriage completely devoid of any physical touch, period. We divorced about 8 years ago. I’m making up for lost time. 😊 Thank you for talking about dating after 60. To each their own whether single or dating or committed or married, but as for me, I am having a blast.
@@GwenMotoGirl Thank you so much for sharing this! I have encouraged some of my friends to use the Facebook dating app, but they have been hesitant. So happy to hear that it brought you success.
@ believe it or not, not the dating app. He messaged me in messenger. It was way out on a limb for both of us. I’m so grateful that he sent the message, that I actually read his message, and that I said yes. We’ve been together for almost 2 years. I think it was a mix of divine guidance, gut feeling, and maybe it’s just my time. Keep encouraging!
@@GwenMotoGirl thanks for clarifying, I’ve been a little leery about messages that I’ve received through Facebook messenger, so good for you! I will definitely keep your story in mind.
@ I’m definitely leery, too! More clarification - we had a mutual friend, so I was able to pre-screen a bit. 😁 Otherwise, I may have ignored like I ignored others.
You have given me hope. I felt I was too aged to start over just turned 49. I ask God for another husband I would love to be married again, but I hear so many horror stories rather it’s the psychos or men who are not ready for a serious commitment spiritually, financially, or mentally. And I didn’t go through all I did, heal just to go back through the same things. But this gives me hope that I still have time to connect with that special someone.
After a 43 yr marriage and now 5 yrs of healing myself without dating, I believe I’m ready to start. Or at least see if any men are working on their own past issues and not expecting me to fix them. I needed to heal from my childhood and past so as not to bring it into a new relationship and blame them for all the problems in my life! I became my own Hero! We’re not for everyone. Release those who do not inspire and truly care about you so their negative energy is not around you. We are never truly alone. God, or a higher power you may have and all our ancestors are rooting for us to succeed. To become who we were Born To Be! Truth with Love & Compassion will change this world! 💜
@@danilaroche1156 I believe Life is filled with Lessons to Learn. He is here to guide me as I do the work of deciding what and who is part of my life in the future. Free will and all that. I have Peace in my life now at 69. I will not give that up for anyone. When I have the same problems come back again, I tell God: I didn’t learn that lesson this time either but you know where I live so I’ll be seeing you. ☺️
@lauraormsby… long ago I came up with some marriage advice. This was from observing failed or failing relationships, not my own successful one. The advice is this- “Don’t marry a project!!!”. In the past year the premise has expanded to two more admonishments. 2-“Don’t be a project!!!” 3-“Don’t surround yourself with projects!!!” . I’m soon moving into a large upscale 55+ community and hope to find someone to be in a bf/gf “together living apart “ relationship. I’m 70, in good health for the most part, tall and slender, play Pickleball, build things and would like to find a similar woman. I have no interest in online dating which seems like a disaster. Just an organic meet up in everyday life and a slow natural glide into a loving relationship.
Folks, just remember every relationship is not meant to last a lifetime--It’s okay. It is not a failure,it’s just life moving forward. Focus on what matters as you get older,because time is not about what you have left,but what you do about it! Be blessed and it is well with you!
I married at age 47. That lasted for 20 years until he passed. It was good good life, a happy life but I am done. Don't ever want the job of wife again. Most men my age are looking for someone to fill that role. I'm retired.
I’m 56 and my girlfriend is 60 and we’ve been together about 6 months. We met organically at our local washateria about 8 months ago. I was a weekly customer and she worked there so we met on her first day, had an instant connection and enjoyed each other’s company every week from then on. We officially started dating 6 months ago and went through a brief rough patch as she suffers from depression and I was learning how to best support her; but, she’s come out of that now and we have been very happy. ❤ We are both introverts and very independent but do eventually plan to move in together one day. She has grown kids (I don’t have kids) and I own a house (she does not so she’s free from any financial obligations and can move in with me as soon as we’re ready). I think of course there are hurdles to overcome when you’re merging two established lives together but that’s part of what makes life interesting and fun! We’re excited to be together and building a life together. Oh yeah, and sex is still great fun too! 😊
Most men are looking for a nurse at that age, to avoid a nursing home...i am divorced..my kids are grown, granny of twins, ❤❤..I still work, workout, just sold my house, just came back from England 🇬🇧, brunch and bbqs, with childhood friends..celibate 6 years, 58 years, still a size 6😅 planning our 60th on a cruise 🛳...I'm good, tired of the cheating, lying, selfishness, cheapness...😅😅 Oh, I'm also set in my beautiful ways😅❤
I'm glad you're happy but please don't categorize all of us men as wanting nursemaids That's not true of me at all. I'm 62 same weight I was when I graduate high school I work out I run . I still run my own little business I have yet to find a person my age that could keep up with me so I'm glad that you're happy but no we're not all looking for nurse maids so God bless
I know 5 men right off the top of my head who are caring for elderly wives who are wracked with dementia. One recently told me how violent she has become. His life is a nightmare. You women are afflicted with many health issues once you hit menopause. Stop the BS about how all of us older guys are looking for a nurse.
@@rcas350pilot8You women? I know that couldn’t mean all women because this characterization does NOT include me! See how you gave YOUR opinion, the originator of this comment was just giving HER opinion. Isn’t she entitled to gave an opinion as well?
Great video. Wonderful that you've met a 'good one' at this stage of life. Sixty-three and child-free by choice, so no complications/distractions/drama for any would-be mate. Yet some, surprisingly, have a problem with this (go figure). I meet them organically, but most are like the same immature, clueless guys I knew way back...only older. Been married and divorced long ago, had my share of relationships, but I'm done.
lol 56 and child free and single by choice. Yes many in society will have a problem with this but as long as you are good ignore others. I knew from my twenties children and marriage wasn’t for me. I have grown nieces and nephews , I am an educator and have many great friendships. I never feel alone or lonely as I have many hobbies and activities. I relish my single life and this is not for everyone and that’s fine. Live and create the life you want
@charmainewalker8627 Good for you!❤️. I don't find it bothersome that people react to child-frees like they do (used to it by now, lol). Just find it odd from guys and at this stage of life. Have adult niece and nephew too, some good friends, work pt, volunteer, hike, and meet interesting people when I camp on nearby forest land in my van with my cat. Be well.
I’ve been married for to my high school sweetheart for 46 years. I don’t want to travel After retirement, I do not. He drives like an old man. I do not He is cheap I am not We are so opposite I can’t imagine doing this again. Never Ever Ever Want another man in my life except my rooster. I wait in him hand and foot cook lovely meals every night. Make his lunches and they are very nice and healthy homemade biscuits sausage and eggs Every morong. If Somethinhappems To him, I’m going to REST the Remainder Of my life….I’ll Choose Loneliness over slavery Any day.
I'm a widow and was married for 43 years. One requirement for a man that I would get involved with again would be that he cooks! I can cook but don't want the burden of every piece of food that goes into the man's mouth is my responsibility anymore! He can cook sometimes, and I'll cook sometimes, and we could cook together sometimes.
Great video and lots of good information. Currently dating a man who is 61 and I'm 72. He lost his younger wife a year and a half ago, I lost my husband of43 yrs. 7 years ago. I enjoy his company, but yes the challenges are very different when dating someone younger. He loves to travel, and I feel like I've done all the traveling I want to. I have more anxiety now about airports, etc. we've been together for 9 months. I do urge him to try dating someone younger with more energy. I have been going to the gym for over a year so I try to keep myself physically able, but that is just a part of some of the things. He has no grandchildren, but I have 2 and have a regular weekend taking care of them every other week. He doesn't mind, but he is still working full time and will retire in a year. Not sure how things will work out when he retires, as he does love to be with me when he is off. Anyway I'm glad I found your channel. so sweet of you to offer help at this age. I can answer any questions you may have in dating someone younger for your channel. Take care!
Most of my most "glorious" finds were during solo travel. La Rochelle was the most recent. Had never heard of it before. My sister group and I were meeting up, so I looked it up as a stop on my way. My tips for women traveling solo and abroad would be to 1) Be very aware of your surroundings 2) Book your dinners early 3) Have your cocktails either in your room, in the lobby of your hotel, or limit it to one drink at dinner (I love champagne and Prosecco - smile) 4) Middle Eastern men tend to be aggressive, so be firm. 5) Amazon has a hotel door lock (get one or use your suitcase as a barrier 6) Pickpockets love purses (use a fanny pack) 7) Don't ever give up an opportunity to travel (The world is so exciting) Lastly, you know what is good for you. Wishing you tons of great travel ahead. I leave for Madagascar for the holidays.
I'm 65 and been happily divorced for 15 years after 20 years of marriage. At this point, I'm not sure I want someone in my "space" all the time. I LOVE my privacy, my freedom and my singleness. I NEVER thought of myself as incomplete without a partner because I was always too busy working on becoming the best version of myself. That's taken years, and I'm still a work in progress lol. I love my life now. My kids are grown and busy also. I'm greatful for whatever time I can share with them, but I have my own interests that keep me busy and I like it like that. If I meet someone, maybe we can be good friends, occasional lovers, but mostly wonderful companions to each other. I think that would work. New subscriber here. 😀
A perfect marriage or relationship is an illusion; there's no universal playbook for making them work. What's effective for one couple may not apply to another. Nevertheless, I've come to understand that there's always a solution to be found. Half a decade ago, my wife and I faced such trials in our marriage that divorce seemed inevitable. Yet, through perseverance and determination, we navigated through the rough waters and emerged stronger, reunited, and more resilient
There is a lot of sense in what you just said and I hope mine works the same way too, we are currently separated but I cant live without her, I love her so much. wish I can get her back I can do anything to have her back, we have tried therapy amongst other things
Its always difficult to let someone you love go, but in my case I had the help of a spiritual adviser who saved my marriage from collapsing her name is shelly renee white..
No man wants that. the single mother thing. Nurse are actually bad to date. Plus men don't carry purses. So why would they be looking for one? Makes absolutely no sense. People should think for themselves and stop filling other people's heads with foolishness.
After the menopause in women & endropause in men the sex drive is pretty much gone & what that means is that our main purpose in life (having the ability of having children) is gone. So without the natural sex drive without the starter of a relationship it's hard to find someone in your older years. You can still find that someone but it's going to be a different relationship not based on sexual attractiveness but based on friendship.
I was married 30 years, now divorced 10, I am 70. I was very naive coming out of a long marriage. There are predators waiting for you. I have met nothing but dysfunctional men. I am attractive, fit, financially stable. I am out in the community, go to the gym, play cards, very social. I have seen no one I am remotely interested in. The men out there have been at the game a long time. I have not met a man yet uninterested in sex, its almost the first thing out of their mouths.I have done online dating but I find most men are 5's looking for a 10.....
Although I really enjoy positive content creators (like this one). Unfortunately, in this day and age dating has changed for the worse. I would never go online as that seems to be the melting pot for scammers. I'm over 60 and in the last 2 years encountered two men at least 20 years my senior. Both presented themselves as gentlemen (dinner, movies, etc) but were actually players. Even typing this makes me laugh. Despite, oxygen tanks, clacking dentures, frequent runs to the toilet, they are still playing the field. So instead of being a part of their game, I travel with my girlfriends.
These channels make me so grateful for my parents who worked through difficult things. They weren’t perfect, of course. Sometimes I wished for different parents. But I think it was because of them that my husband and I have been happily married for over 30 years. I’m 61 now and can’t imagine what it would be like to start “dating.” The adjustment to another person’s way of being and the flexibility to go with the flow - and the respect for each others alone time - this is something married people learn through the years. I feel like dating, whether you’re young or old, has never been something I wanted to do. My husband and I were friends for two years before we went out romantically and then we got married within a month or two. I’m seeing so many older ladies who are all alone, and don’t know it but are in some danger living in their van and traveling alone. It’s a free world, but there are definitely consequences (good and bad) to taking a non traditional route in life. I’m glad you aren’t alone…
@@kimdavis5403 good advice! David and I keep our finances separate. When we go on trips, we share it in expenses, except for on the trip that we have gifted to each other for either birthdays or Christmas!
I'm no where near 60,but this video came on my "for you" page anyway. I guess ill put this info in my back pocket for later if in find myself dating then. You have very pleasant speaking voice, and you're very pretty. I thought you were a educator of some sort, but sales make sense too. Best wishes on the growth of your channel.
@@createone100 between David and I we have five grown-up girls that all are in relationships and between us. We have eight grandkids. It’s not easy, but we have found a balance!
I met my current husband when I was 56. We had a lot of struggle as well dating and got married when I was 60 and he was 61. Yes a lot of adjustments. Would love to talk to you. I don’t know how to get you personally. I always think it’s worth it to have a partner. Life is bettershared.
4.5 years of on line dating and yes I met 65 men. The only one who has hung around is about half my age. I am 65, he is 32. Those my age were not interested 😢.
Good for you. I do agree, older men are seeking younger women. For the life of me, I can't understand why. My ex was just 5 years older than me and spent most of his time complaining about his energy levels in bed. He even started taking my vitamins thinking it would enhance his libido. lol
I would be to set in my ways in my 60s. Im just 43 now and giving up when im 50 years old. I have no kids and never been married. I want kids but it doesn't look like thats in my future.
I'm all for everything you describe, how blessed you are! Unfortunately at 67, zero prospects, no matter how much I;d liek to have osemone in my life.,Have been in this scene for nearly 20 years. Kids all left home am active, fit, attend lectures, events, concerts, computer savvy, but no men approach. The ones I try to do not respond. Online dating has been a minefield and as it is rarely get any remotley suitable requests, so hard to stay positive and energized., I do amazing things, have travelled alone far and wide yet no interest in me as a perosn or a woman. Has been terribly dififcult and lonely not to have anyone to share anything with. Women friends are few and okay from time to time to hang out with, but can never be a replacement for a serious, committed relationship with someone special, preferably a real husband.
I am a retired profesor of clinical psych. Some people want to be part of a couple, others dont, doesnt matter to anyone but you. Some people. are exceptionally good at relationships and are very adept at choosing an excellent mate for them...other people are terrible at it. Ulterior motives are the death knell as they should be. I don t need to describe them we all are what they are. However people do amaze me in their judgmental attitudes toward others. I have to keep y mouth shut around some of my social acquaintances. They have prejudices galore and assume others are or should be just like them. As a psychologist of course I can read them pretty quickly....unresolved histories with repetitive issues the same types of problems over and over. Some have zero insight how they keep getting worse and worse ii their human relationships with non romamtic family members and friends. People vary widely in agreeableness and many get more and more disagreeable and judgmental and becone lonelier and lonelier as the age for very GOOD reason. Right now I have a weathy female friend who has a large propert set up as apts abraod where we live. She wants to help Americans as they have aged here and fallen upon harder and harder financial times. These are people who need some physical helpers but not yet skilled nirsing care almost all have given up driving some have givenup cooki g for themselves etc. She knows full well some are exceptionally cantankerous and disagreeable people avoid them like the plague. I hate her getting trapped into doing this. She keeps asking me questions like what do I do with the packrats? How do I co vince them to let stuff go? Well SHE has zero attachments to things she is exceptionally sterile with her enviroment . I have explained others place entirely different values on THINGS....OF COURSE there is a mental ilness too Obsessive Complusive Disorder and they need a theraist BUT people vary widely in their needs to keep things that are meaningful to them. She just does not realize how thorny all this will be and her personality is quite rigid and intolerant of the variants of others so I see large problems lurking in her future. She wants me to be a professional advisor....nothing doing... And re relarionships similar issues abound. Some people do really well others want nothing to do with the opposite sex. I prefer to stick to my private life ....and keep it very private.
I'm 66 and looking for a companion which may lead to marriage. I've never married and have no children .Everyone says I'm to old to expect to meet a companion let alone a husband!
So, I am 64, single & live alone. 7 months ago, I started seeing a man who is 56. We see each other once a month & purely for sex. He is also single & lives alone.
With the stuff out there are you the only one? Once a month benefits isn't a relationship, that's a situationship and woman's emotions are different from these men who are addicted to this kinda of arrangement is ??. To each it's own
I'm in my mid 50's and healthy I know I will need to marry a man 5-10 years younger because most men my age just do not take care of themselves. I'm seeing my mother having to take care of her husband and the stress though we support her is not good at times. Not for me - no way.
I’m 65, divorced twice, hurt really bad from my second husband. I’ll never trust again. I’ve gained over forty pounds since my divorce eight years ago and can’t imagine having sex with anyone now. My body has changed so much, it’s gross. I’m also not interested in being someone’s maid, cook, etc. I have a sweet dog and a couple of parrots. I get lonely, but have female friends I can go out with if I’m bored. I don’t have anything to offer a man as I’m broke, tired, and have some health issues, so I guess I’ll be single for the rest of my life.
Hey, I really love your content…my issue is I’ve been running into an ex (still single)whose mother told him years ago,what do you want with a ready made family? (Me back then divorced, with teen kids) the relationship when down hill. Now when I see him He always reminisce that we had a great relationship. 🤨I need a good response to say, instead of “your momma blocked that.” TY
Are the kids still at home? Sometimes blended families can make it really hard on a relationship. Years ago, My mother, who passed away a few years ago, got married and both she and her new husband each had 3 young kids. That marriage lasted just over a year because of arguments about us kids. About 20 years later , after all of us kids were on our own, they got back together. There second time around was a good one that lasted until he passed away 15 years later.
The plus cóuld be that both partners have evolved and matured and bring this emotional and social intelligence into the relationship. That looks different from when you are 20+.
I’m 60 and have been sporadically dating for 8 yrs (was a young widow at 51.) I’m finding that many older men don’t know how to date. They talk about themselves and don’t appear to want to know anything about me. Most are looking for a wife replacement. I’m up for a friendship but find that I’m too independent, and enjoy my own life pursuits. I would be sexual if I discovered the right man but I’m not inclined to be a booty call, which is what many of the younger men expect. 😂
@@danilaroche1156 God will sacrifice him and send him to her? He didn't pray for that. Dear Lord, please send me a washed up woman whose never made a good decision in her life. How awful for him?
Why are you doing a post about dating after 60 and you have clearly met and found someone and are coupled.. You mostly talk about you and your partner David. Good for you, thought this was supposed to be for women who want to date.
I was over 60 when I started dating again My channel is to show that it can happen to anyone. Just started this channel a couple months ago and I’m laying the groundwork. There’s lots left to come. If there are specific dating topics that you’d like to talk about let me know.
I made the mistake of traveling cross-country with mine because we both had relatives in New York, oy vey I thought he was going to leave me at the truck stop or the gas station I was afraid to leave the truck after that trip I dumped that Mo fast LOL😅 I travel solo until I can pick up a younger guy😊😊😊 jk ... maybe?
@@debbibobetty5620 lol, we’ll I’m glad you made it home! Things are definitely highlighted when you travel at this age. So many different expectations.
At 55 i gave up on dating.Womens expectations at this age are no longer based in reality imo.I got tired of old jaded menopausal women with to much baggage from past relationships.I enjoy my peace and comfort.If i were to date again it would diffinately be a younger woman.
You do make a lot of assumptions, don’t you? Not everyone is stuck in their ways - you may be, but I’m not nor will I ever be because that’s not in my nature.
Dear god, at 3 minutes this woman is boring me to death talking about travelling on trains vs planes! Dear God, do not travel with someone who is inclined to boring monologues, without anything interesting to say.
Dating for 9 years, that is a long time to date without considering marriage. Biblically speaking that is unacceptable. Just my opinion, but whatever works for you.

Dating after 60 is very difficult. Decided to follow my dreams instead. Alone but never lonely. Blessings
You hit MY nail on the head! I’m a loner homebody; but I do get lonely. Loneliness is better than chaotic relationships.
You bet! I love my husband but would not marry again. I have it too good now. No one could live up to him. Married 36 years.
My mother found a boyfriend at age 68. They are still together 16 years later. Her boyfriend is 99 lol. He’s a wonderful, kind, and funny person.
That's beautiful! God bless!!!
I love living with just my dog. I wouldn’t give it up for anyone. I love crafts . Walking with my dog and watching movies and trying new recipes❤Reading is at the top of the list with going to church and bible study . God and Family is everything to me. I was married for 25 yrs and it was hard work
Love it
I actually got married at 60! Long story short, I met my husband after he moved to my state to be with someone he met online. It quickly fizzled, but he met me and we began the best relationship of my life. Neither of us had much money, but we worked together and recently purchased our new home, and are now both retired. If I hadn’t met him, I would still be open to dating because I have learned that if you keep your heart open, and use your head, the possibilities are endless 😍.
You are one of the few lucky ones.
I love this story ~ thank you for sharing that positive is possible. Love how you articulated that: keep your heart open, AND use your head. ♥️ Yes.
You rock! Hubble is a lucky guy!
Awesome!
Thats what im talking about! Great attitude lady. You need to open a dating service for the older folks
I love that you found someone compatible. I'm 56 and prefer a lot of solitude. I dated a guy for a couple of years and he is nice but we had polar opposite attachment styles so the relationship wore me down. I don't want to be with anyone that is demanding of my time and wanting to talk on the phone several times a day, with nothing much to talk about. I can spend time with him occasionally, but he wants more from a relationship than I'm willing to give.
Several friends were dating and were pressured into marriage too soon so they cut relationship off. Most older men are looking for a housekeeper with a purse. Casual dutch treat dating is fine, but most men want commitments. Introverted people like solitude more with less social activiy. Some women will marry for companionship as it's easier for couples to be social vs singles.
This was awesome! I found so many liars while dating, after my 40s, I eventually gave up. Ive learned to value my alone time but would love to have a friend. Im 70 now and find men to be greedy and fearful you want their hoard.
Same here.
@@marianfrances4959 i’m 68. Men my age want gals in 50s .
I'm a seasoned subscriber and at this stage of my life I prefer solo. I am enjoying my singlehood immensely. Some men can be exhausting.
Most of them are
Not only men, women too
You covered the challenges and some solutions quite well. At 70, the dilemma for me is whether I actually have the energy to form a new intimate (emotional as well as physical) relationship. The puzzle pieces would have to mesh very very well for me to even consider it. I've had many many relationships in my life and I am just tired. Yes, I am lonely at times. But the enormous effort of starting over at my age doesn't seem possible. Not to mention all the risks involved.
Thank you so much for sharing Joanne!
Just find hobby and interest. I am 56 and can’t imagine living or being with anyone. I have many activities and hobby. I never feel lonely. Trust me after a while you love your space and definitely don’t want to share it with anyone. I do not have the energy or want any stress. I travel solo and love my own company
@charmainewalker8627 Sometimes I get tired of solo Everything. So many places I'd like to travel to but anxious about solo travel.
Besides, the number of men available at that age drops in proportion to the number of women. I agree, I'm a little older than you and I would see it as impossible for me.
Just listening to this is exhausting. I'm going to bed. 😴
Lol
😂😂😂😂
I don’t know whether to to laugh or cry! I am a widow of 5 years, who is about to embark on a new marriage. The dearest fellow is 15 years younger and richer, by far, than I am. I am vital and young for my age, but the miracle of the matter is we share the same deep relationship with the LORD, the actual matchmaker. So blessed.
❤
Have you actually met this person...Hopefully you are not being scammed.
@ I have known him for 40 years, but never knew he was interested in me. Oddly enough, I was not interested in him . His being 15 years younger left him out of any consideration, even as a friend. God certainly does work in mysterious ways His wonders to perform.
Excellent points made for the pros and cons of dating after 60. Thank you❤
So glad I came upon your channel. Nine years ago I was blessed to run into a gentleman I dated when I was 21 I will be 70 the end of this month we do have situations that we have had to make adjustments to but such is life. I'm very glad that God brought him back into my life.
If he won't marry you what's the point?

I am 51 and have been divorced for 17 years. Had one 5-year relationship after divorce but have been single since. The only relationship I want is with the Lord and my 18-year old daughter.
I can relate
Your still young. Be open to what God wants. Your healing from 5 year relationship. Maybe still hurt & disappointed?

We think sometimes that it ends at 18, but no way - that relationship can be a wonderful one- not clingy, but just being there consistently is such a blessing.
Watch TV with them......if they grab the clicker and keep it by them you know. Especially if it's your home. LOL. I'm serious.

God bless you🙏🙏
My husband died this year and after forty seven years of marriage and at the age of sixty seven I am no longer interested in dating. I love My life the way it is.
🌹
🙏🏼🌹❤️
We are both 64 and have our own homes. We talk every day on the phone making sure we're okay and sharing our days experiences. We both have jobs but make time 12:59 out occasionally. Sex is still great after 4 years and we absolutely enjoy each others company , respect each other, honest and happy together. No plans to live together or get married and we're both happy with that arrangement . Can't ask for more after 2 divorces.
I can meet a decent gentleman, I tried on line sites , very disappointed, just liars , so I stop
Didn't meet mine online, and I like the way you put this.
We're good our way.😊
@danielleamory5428 he is someone I knew from my neighborhood growing up. Never been this happy
That’s all you need.
So you are ok with sex without marriage? That’s fornication. You can’t get into the kingdom that way, unless you don’t care about your soul.
I think where you run into trouble after 60 is the age difference. If you a 60 year old women healthy and fit you better look for a partner that is at least 5 years younger. Most men aging much faster and do you really want to be a nurse later??? Think about that. I still hear the warning from my Granny in my ears: DON"T DO IT! Boy ,she was so right.
@@elisabethgardner6321 I’ve thought about that a lot So far everyone thinks David is younger than I am. We work hard together to stay in shape and eat right and hope for the best!
Gr8t advice and totally agree!!!!
Just found you and subscribed! I’m almost 65 and he is 69. We met on Facebook. He messaged me and I decided to meet him for lunch with all the usual safety precautions in place. We ended staying until the restaurant closed. It’s such a delicious memory!
We are together a lot but keep our separate residences. We enjoy social activities with friends, do lunch or dinner date nights just the two of us and also with friends, and have the most amazing sex. I was in a long term marriage completely devoid of any physical touch, period. We divorced about 8 years ago. I’m making up for lost time. 😊 Thank you for talking about dating after 60. To each their own whether single or dating or committed or married, but as for me, I am having a blast.
@@GwenMotoGirl Thank you so much for sharing this! I have encouraged some of my friends to use the Facebook dating app, but they have been hesitant. So happy to hear that it brought you success.
@ believe it or not, not the dating app. He messaged me in messenger. It was way out on a limb for both of us. I’m so grateful that he sent the message, that I actually read his message, and that I said yes. We’ve been together for almost 2 years. I think it was a mix of divine guidance, gut feeling, and maybe it’s just my time. Keep encouraging!
@@GwenMotoGirl thanks for clarifying, I’ve been a little leery about messages that I’ve received through Facebook messenger, so good for you! I will definitely keep your story in mind.
@ I’m definitely leery, too! More clarification - we had a mutual friend, so I was able to pre-screen a bit. 😁 Otherwise, I may have ignored like I ignored others.
possibilities are endless, love is a beautiful thing, 2 are always better than one especially after 60.
You have given me hope. I felt I was too aged to start over just turned 49. I ask God for another husband I would love to be married again, but I hear so many horror stories rather it’s the psychos or men who are not ready for a serious commitment spiritually, financially, or mentally. And I didn’t go through all I did, heal just to go back through the same things. But this gives me hope that I still have time to connect with that special someone.
You look amazing! All the best to you!
@@thepragmatist Thank You so much!
You look so young and sound so young and smart… good luck with everything 🙏
After a 43 yr marriage and now 5 yrs of healing myself without dating, I believe I’m ready to start. Or at least see if any men are working on their own past issues and not expecting me to fix them.
I needed to heal from my childhood and past so as not to bring it into a new relationship and blame them for all the problems in my life! I became my own Hero!
We’re not for everyone. Release those who do not inspire and truly care about you so their negative energy is not around you.
We are never truly alone. God, or a higher power you may have and all our ancestors are rooting for us to succeed. To become who we were Born To Be! Truth with Love & Compassion will change this world! 💜
God can and will heal old hurts and pain. He's the Good Physician.
@@danilaroche1156 I believe Life is filled with Lessons to Learn. He is here to guide me as I do the work of deciding what and who is part of my life in the future. Free will and all that.
I have Peace in my life now at 69. I will not give that up for anyone. When I have the same problems come back again, I tell God: I didn’t learn that lesson this time either but you know where I live so I’ll be seeing you. ☺️
Men never work on their issues.
@@createone100 I’m finding that some do if they are mature enough to admit to them. They just don’t want someone telling them to do it! 😁
@lauraormsby… long ago I came up with some marriage advice. This was from observing failed or failing relationships, not my own successful one. The advice is this- “Don’t marry a project!!!”. In the past year the premise has expanded to two more admonishments. 2-“Don’t be a project!!!” 3-“Don’t surround yourself with projects!!!”
.
I’m soon moving into a large upscale 55+ community and hope to find someone to be in a bf/gf “together living apart “ relationship. I’m 70, in good health for the most part, tall and slender, play Pickleball, build things and would like to find a similar woman. I have no interest in online dating which seems like a disaster. Just an organic meet up in everyday life and a slow natural glide into a loving relationship.
Folks, just remember every relationship is not meant to last a lifetime--It’s okay. It is not a failure,it’s just life moving forward. Focus on what matters as you get older,because time is not about what you have left,but what you do about it! Be blessed and it is well with you!
I married at age 47. That lasted for 20 years until he passed. It was good good life, a happy life but I am done. Don't ever want the job of wife again. Most men my age are looking for someone to fill that role. I'm retired.
I’m 56 and my girlfriend is 60 and we’ve been together about 6 months. We met organically at our local washateria about 8 months ago. I was a weekly customer and she worked there so we met on her first day, had an instant connection and enjoyed each other’s company every week from then on. We officially started dating 6 months ago and went through a brief rough patch as she suffers from depression and I was learning how to best support her; but, she’s come out of that now and we have been very happy. ❤
We are both introverts and very independent but do eventually plan to move in together one day. She has grown kids (I don’t have kids) and I own a house (she does not so she’s free from any financial obligations and can move in with me as soon as we’re ready). I think of course there are hurdles to overcome when you’re merging two established lives together but that’s part of what makes life interesting and fun! We’re excited to be together and building a life together. Oh yeah, and sex is still great fun too! 😊
Most men are looking for a nurse at that age, to avoid a nursing home...i am divorced..my kids are grown, granny of twins, ❤❤..I still work, workout, just sold my house, just came back from England 🇬🇧, brunch and bbqs, with childhood friends..celibate 6 years, 58 years, still a size 6😅 planning our 60th on a cruise 🛳...I'm good, tired of the cheating, lying, selfishness, cheapness...😅😅 Oh, I'm also set in my beautiful ways😅❤
I'm glad you're happy but please don't categorize all of us men as wanting nursemaids That's not true of me at all. I'm 62 same weight I was when I graduate high school I work out I run . I still run my own little business I have yet to find a person my age that could keep up with me so I'm glad that you're happy but no we're not all looking for nurse maids so God bless
Amen!!!
I know 5 men right off the top of my head who are caring for elderly wives who are wracked with dementia. One recently told me how violent she has become. His life is a nightmare. You women are afflicted with many health issues once you hit menopause. Stop the BS about how all of us older guys are looking for a nurse.
Oh my....Im guessing you are of the belief that women don't get illnesses as they get older.It must be only men.What a shallow view you have.
@@rcas350pilot8You women? I know that couldn’t mean all women because this characterization does NOT include me! See how you gave YOUR opinion, the originator of this comment was just giving HER opinion. Isn’t she entitled to gave an opinion as well?
Great video. Wonderful that you've met a 'good one' at this stage of life.
Sixty-three and child-free by choice, so no complications/distractions/drama for any would-be mate. Yet some, surprisingly, have a problem with this (go figure). I meet them organically, but most are like the same immature, clueless guys I knew way back...only older. Been married and divorced long ago, had my share of relationships, but I'm done.

lol 56 and child free and single by choice. Yes many in society will have a problem with this but as long as you are good ignore others. I knew from my twenties children and marriage wasn’t for me.

I relish my single life and this is not for everyone and that’s fine. Live and create the life you want

Good for you!❤️. I don't find it bothersome that people react to child-frees like they do (used to it by now, lol). Just find it odd from guys and at this stage of life.

I'm a widow and was married for 43 years. One requirement for a man that I would get involved with again would be that he cooks! I can cook but don't want the burden of every piece of food that goes into the man's mouth is my responsibility anymore! He can cook sometimes, and I'll cook sometimes, and we could cook together sometimes.
@@denisehughes2898 love that! That means a lot to me too! David cooks 2-3 times a week and I really appreciate it!
Great video and lots of good information. Currently dating a man who is 61 and I'm 72. He lost his younger wife a year and a half ago, I lost my husband of43 yrs. 7 years ago. I enjoy his company, but yes the challenges are very different when dating someone younger. He loves to travel, and I feel like I've done all the traveling I want to. I have more anxiety now about airports, etc. we've been together for 9 months. I do urge him to try dating someone younger with more energy. I have been going to the gym for over a year so I try to keep myself physically able, but that is just a part of some of the things. He has no grandchildren, but I have 2 and have a regular weekend taking care of them every other week. He doesn't mind, but he is still working full time and will retire in a year. Not sure how things will work out when he retires, as he does love to be with me when he is off. Anyway I'm glad I found your channel. so sweet of you to offer help at this age. I can answer any questions you may have in dating someone younger for your channel. Take care!
I will definitely keep that in mind Mellie, I will be doing a video that subject at some point.

TY i never travel alone recently...But your true story help me alot...TY for sharing..
Most of my most "glorious" finds were during solo travel. La Rochelle was the most recent. Had never heard of it before. My sister group and I were meeting up, so I looked it up as a stop on my way. My tips for women traveling solo and abroad would be to 1) Be very aware of your surroundings 2) Book your dinners early 3) Have your cocktails either in your room, in the lobby of your hotel, or limit it to one drink at dinner (I love champagne and Prosecco - smile) 4) Middle Eastern men tend to be aggressive, so be firm. 5) Amazon has a hotel door lock (get one or use your suitcase as a barrier 6) Pickpockets love purses (use a fanny pack) 7) Don't ever give up an opportunity to travel (The world is so exciting) Lastly, you know what is good for you. Wishing you tons of great travel ahead. I leave for Madagascar for the holidays.
I agree with the train vacation ❤. I’m 64 but do not date. However, I plan to follow your channel. I may change my mind about dating ❤.

I'm 65 and been happily divorced for 15 years after 20 years of marriage. At this point, I'm not sure I want someone in my "space" all the time. I LOVE my privacy, my freedom and my singleness. I NEVER thought of myself as incomplete without a partner because I was always too busy working on becoming the best version of myself. That's taken years, and I'm still a work in progress lol. I love my life now. My kids are grown and busy also. I'm greatful for whatever time I can share with them, but I have my own interests that keep me busy and I like it like that. If I meet someone, maybe we can be good friends, occasional lovers, but mostly wonderful companions to each other. I think that would work. New subscriber here. 😀
@@rainynights8879 I love your outlook! You sound a lot like me. Keep doing what you’re doing and if you’re meant to meet someone you will!
A perfect marriage or relationship is an illusion; there's no universal playbook for making them work. What's effective for one couple may not apply to another. Nevertheless, I've come to understand that there's always a solution to be found. Half a decade ago, my wife and I faced such trials in our marriage that divorce seemed inevitable. Yet, through perseverance and determination, we navigated through the rough waters and emerged stronger, reunited, and more resilient
There is a lot of sense in what you just said and I hope mine works the same way too, we are currently separated but I cant live without her, I love her so much. wish I can get her back I can do anything to have her back, we have tried therapy amongst other things
Its always difficult to let someone you love go, but in my case I had the help of a spiritual adviser who saved my marriage from collapsing her name is shelly renee white..
This is helpful, I will look her up online right now...Thanks.

THANK YOU for this interesting video. I'm 75 & gingerly venturing into this...
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Please let me know if there’s any topics you’d like to see talked about.
After the menopause in women & endropause in men the sex drive is pretty much gone & what that means is that our main purpose in life (having the ability of having children) is gone. So without the natural sex drive without the starter of a relationship it's hard to find someone in your older years. You can still find that someone but it's going to be a different relationship not based on sexual attractiveness but based on friendship.
I was married 30 years, now divorced 10, I am 70. I was very naive coming out of a long marriage. There are predators waiting for you. I have met nothing but dysfunctional men. I am attractive, fit, financially stable. I am out in the community, go to the gym, play cards, very social. I have seen no one I am remotely interested in. The men out there have been at the game a long time. I have not met a man yet uninterested in sex, its almost the first thing out of their mouths.I have done online dating but I find most men are 5's looking for a 10.....
Although I really enjoy positive content creators (like this one). Unfortunately, in this day and age dating has changed for the worse. I would never go online as that seems to be the melting pot for scammers. I'm over 60 and in the last 2 years encountered two men at least 20 years my senior. Both presented themselves as gentlemen (dinner, movies, etc) but were actually players. Even typing this makes me laugh. Despite, oxygen tanks, clacking dentures, frequent runs to the toilet, they are still playing the field. So instead of being a part of their game, I travel with my girlfriends.
@@guinealove3744🌹
These channels make me so grateful for my parents who worked through difficult things.
They weren’t perfect, of course. Sometimes I wished for different parents.
But I think it was because of them that my husband and I have been happily married for over 30 years.
I’m 61 now and can’t imagine what it would be like to start “dating.”
The adjustment to another person’s way of being and the flexibility to go with the flow - and the respect for each others alone time - this is something married people learn through the years.
I feel like dating, whether you’re young or old, has never been something I wanted to do.
My husband and I were friends for two years before we went out romantically and then we got married within a month or two.
I’m seeing so many older ladies who are all alone, and don’t know it but are in some danger living in their van and traveling alone.
It’s a free world, but there are definitely consequences (good and bad) to taking a non traditional route in life.
I’m glad you aren’t alone…

I'm all for everything you describe, how blessed you are! Unfortunately at 67, zero prospects, no matter how much I;d liek to have osemone in my life.,Have been in this scene for nearly 20 years. Kids all left home am active, fit, attend lectures, events, concerts, computer savvy, but no men approach. The ones I try to do not respond. Online dating has been a minefield and as it is rarely get any remotley suitable requests, so hard to stay positive and energized., I do amazing things, have travelled alone far and wide yet no interest in me as a perosn or a woman. Has been terribly dififcult and lonely not to have anyone to share anything with. Women friends are few and okay from time to time to hang out with, but can never be a replacement for a serious, committed relationship with someone special, preferably a real husband.
U looks great for your age.
@@hermiaburke389 thank you so much!
I am a retired profesor of clinical psych. Some people want to be part of a couple, others dont, doesnt matter to anyone but you. Some people. are exceptionally good at relationships and are very adept at choosing an excellent mate for them...other people are terrible at it. Ulterior motives are the death knell as they should be. I don t need to describe them we all are what they are.
However people do amaze me in their judgmental attitudes toward others. I have to keep y mouth shut around some of my social acquaintances. They have prejudices galore and assume others are or should be just like them. As a psychologist of course I can read them pretty quickly....unresolved histories with repetitive issues the same types of problems over and over. Some have zero insight how they keep getting worse and worse ii their human relationships with non romamtic family members and friends. People vary widely in agreeableness and many get more and more disagreeable and judgmental and becone lonelier and
lonelier as the age for very GOOD reason. Right now I have a weathy female friend who has a large propert set up as apts abraod where we live. She wants to help Americans as they have aged here and fallen upon harder and harder financial times. These are people who need some physical helpers but not yet skilled nirsing care almost all have given up driving some have givenup cooki g for themselves etc. She knows full well some are exceptionally cantankerous and disagreeable people avoid them like the plague. I hate her getting trapped into doing this. She keeps asking me questions like what do I do with the packrats? How do I co vince them to let stuff go? Well SHE has zero attachments to things she is exceptionally sterile with her enviroment . I have explained others place entirely different values on THINGS....OF COURSE there is a mental ilness too Obsessive Complusive Disorder and they need a theraist BUT people vary widely in their needs to keep things that are meaningful to them. She just does not realize how thorny all this will be and her personality is quite rigid and intolerant of the variants of others so I see large problems lurking in her future. She wants me to be a professional advisor....nothing doing...
And re relarionships similar issues abound. Some people do really well others want nothing to do with the opposite sex. I prefer to stick to my private life ....and keep it very private.
I'm 66 and looking for a companion which may lead to marriage. I've never married and have no children .Everyone says I'm to old to expect to meet a companion let alone a husband!
Forget it…you can’t recover..just flirt and share conversation

Good content. I just subscribed
So, I am 64, single & live alone. 7 months ago, I started seeing a man who is 56. We see each other once a month & purely for sex. He is also single & lives alone.
@@helenarubio3371 Are you happy with that arrangement? If you both are ,That’s all that matters .
Once a month for sex? that sounds dreadful but if ur happy
@@lindarobinson8381, why does that sound dreadful? Doesn’t it depend on the sex?
With the stuff out there are you the only one? Once a month benefits isn't a relationship, that's a situationship and woman's emotions are different from these men who are addicted to this kinda of arrangement is ??. To each it's own
Your skating on thin ice, hon. Careful.
Im 57..Im good on dating..🙄
I'm in my mid 50's and healthy I know I will need to marry a man 5-10 years younger because most men my age just do not take care of themselves. I'm seeing my mother having to take care of her husband and the stress though we support her is not good at times. Not for me - no way.
No SX? O. M. G.
Im not 60 yet. Im 56 though and its slim pickins' here. More slim than pickins...😂😂😂

I really enjoyed your program! Very relatable, liked the realistic pros and cons 👍🏽 So happy that you both found someone compatible!!!
I’m 65, divorced twice, hurt really bad from my second husband. I’ll never trust again. I’ve gained over forty pounds since my divorce eight years ago and can’t imagine having sex with anyone now. My body has changed so much, it’s gross. I’m also not interested in being someone’s maid, cook, etc. I have a sweet dog and a couple of parrots. I get lonely, but have female friends I can go out with if I’m bored. I don’t have anything to offer a man as I’m broke, tired, and have some health issues, so I guess I’ll be single for the rest of my life.
Well...I guess I have been blessed❤
Hey, I really love your content…my issue is I’ve been running into an ex (still single)whose mother told him years ago,what do you want with a ready made family? (Me back then divorced, with teen kids) the relationship when down hill. Now when I see him He always reminisce that we had a great relationship. 🤨I need a good response to say, instead of “your momma blocked that.” TY
Are the kids still at home? Sometimes blended families can make it really hard on a relationship. Years ago, My mother, who passed away a few years ago, got married and both she and her new husband each had 3 young kids. That marriage lasted just over a year because of arguments about us kids. About 20 years later , after all of us kids were on our own, they got back together. There second time around was a good one that lasted until he passed away 15 years later.
The plus cóuld be that both partners have evolved and matured and bring this emotional and social intelligence into the relationship. That looks different from when you are 20+.
I’m 60 and have been sporadically dating for 8 yrs (was a young widow at 51.) I’m finding that many older men don’t know how to date. They talk about themselves and don’t appear to want to know anything about me. Most are looking for a wife replacement. I’m up for a friendship but find that I’m too independent, and enjoy my own life pursuits. I would be sexual if I discovered the right man but I’m not inclined to be a booty call, which is what many of the younger men expect. 😂
You look great. I d like a friend but not living day to day with me

For some women, after a lifetime of bad choices, a good choice won't magically happen.
Soooooooo, only bad choices? Not lying, trash men?
With God all things are possible.
@@danilaroche1156 God will sacrifice him and send him to her? He didn't pray for that. Dear Lord, please send me a washed up woman whose never made a good decision in her life. How awful for him?
@@netpasyaYou're quite rude. God loves all of his children. And they aren't washed up🙄.
I would like to at some point
@@WonkyWomanLife I hope my channel helps!
@2late2date-h2t every bit,does. One step,at a time
I won't do it. No way am I exposing myself to the petri dishes.
Why are you doing a post about dating after 60 and you have clearly met and found someone and are coupled.. You mostly talk about you and your partner David. Good for you, thought this was supposed to be for women who want to date.
I was over 60 when I started dating again My channel is to show that it can happen to anyone. Just started this channel a couple months ago and I’m laying the groundwork. There’s lots left to come. If there are specific dating topics that you’d like to talk about let me know.
I made the mistake of traveling cross-country with mine because we both had relatives in New York, oy vey I thought he was going to leave me at the truck stop or the gas station I was afraid to leave the truck after that trip I dumped that Mo fast LOL😅 I travel solo until I can pick up a younger guy😊😊😊 jk ... maybe?
@@debbibobetty5620 lol, we’ll I’m glad you made it home! Things are definitely highlighted when you travel at this age. So many different expectations.
So funny deb🌹
Oh god no only a friend
At 55 i gave up on dating.Womens expectations at this age are no longer based in reality imo.I got tired of old jaded menopausal women with to much baggage from past relationships.I enjoy my peace and comfort.If i were to date again it would diffinately be a younger woman.
You do make a lot of assumptions, don’t you? Not everyone is stuck in their ways - you may be, but I’m not nor will I ever be because that’s not in my nature.
Dear god, at 3 minutes this woman is boring me to death talking about travelling on trains vs planes! Dear God, do not travel with someone who is inclined to boring monologues, without anything interesting to say.
People are worthless....get a dog or a cat....
Dating for 9 years, that is a long time to date without considering marriage. Biblically speaking that is unacceptable. Just my opinion, but whatever works for you.
if you leave as brother and sister its acceptable in the CHURCH
I find that most women over 60 are broke or have very little retirement savings. No Thanks
Your trippin.
@@Retired-jr3qs
Plenty of us who aren't in that situation, to be sure. I've run into many 60+ pauper men as well.
Really? Well, I find most men over 60 are shallow losers, looking for a mommy. No thanks. 😏
@@sxwrtr918Exactly 🌹
Then why are you even here commenting Retired jerk🙄?
