couplehands2So I got this note from a single woman which I found interesting ... here is her dilemma followed by my response... Hi Gail,I’m not sure if you address this new group of singles, but I know there are a lot of us out here.The older women who are raising children- whether they be adopted at a late age or given birth to at a late age or many are raising and have custody of their grandchildren.We never get to go out and babysitter fees are high and we don’t fit into the activities of younger parents meeting each other and bringing their children to events.I’m thinking maybe no men want to meet us lol... seriously maybe there really isn’t a place for us in meeting someone. We are doomed to be lonely. :) Maybe that one man in a million who never had children and would like to raise one later in life? Not very probable.Well I just wanted to bring us to your attention that we would love to join things somehow - there are quite a few of us silently out here- but as I said maybe there are no men interested.Have a great daySuzie  


Hi Suzie,New group of singles ? I didn't realize we were categorizing singles ... ?All singles looking for love... of ALL AGES... have their crosses to bear...*Women in their mid to late 30's that want to have children who have not yet found "the one" and are afraid of missing the boat on that one...*Singles that are handicapped physically or mentally but are high functioning or someone battling (or recovered from) cancer and can not find someone to accept them for who they are inside.*Folks my age (62) that are dealing with aging parents (like raising kids again but worse) that need their care and don't have enough time to socialize*Middle aged single parents that still have their adult children living with them (this many singles find a turn off)*All the "separated" but living with their spouses in the basement ... that are doing that until the kids get to be 21 or 18 ... who wants to date someone yet they are still living (technically) with their married partner! But they will insist they must live this way for financial reasons and for the "sake of the kids"*And of course your situation that you described - Middle aged or older singles living with and  raising or taking care of  younger children for whatever the reasonYet... I know of singles in everyone one of these above situations that DID find love. Will all of them find love? No perhaps not, but does that mean we go around with the belief that it will never happen ?  I think not!You can choose to be lonely or not. It is a choice. The time in my life when I was the most lonely, was when I was married ! Living in a very loveless marriage and trapped with young children. Not having the freedom that comes with being single - to arrange my life the way I wanted without having to ask permission.You don't have to go out every weekend or weekday to meet someone. But despite your situation, you must find a way to carve out some time for yourself to enjoy a different side of life... meeting new singles.Hey.. check out my situation... here I was a successful entrepreneur hosting singles events and I could not find someone that would accept this as OK to date! Men would say .. you do WHAT for a living? and you're not available to date on the weekends because you are working... I would be like .. Dude.. it's not like I am dancing on tables here.. I am hosting events for singles which I find rewarding, does it mean I will cheat on you? NO that's not my style and HEY .. what's wrong with dating on a THURS or WED ? or SUN night ?I wasn't about to give up my new found business just to make someone else happy. This went on for 7 long years! And at age 58 I finally met someone that accepted me and my world as OK .. no problem here!Love is worth waiting for, and does not come easily... even though we live in a very disposable world. But that does not mean no one finds love? I have proof people do find each other, despite their situations (SEE TESTIMONIALS HERE) If you have a strong desire to meet someone then do something about it. You can make this choice. Figure out how ... FIRST you must make time to socializePursue all and any avenues - Happy hours, backyard BBQ with new singles girlfriends families, take a class, GO to single events, try online dating.Create opportunities. Be positive.And most of all be patient and enjoy your time now. It will happen for you .Warm Regards,
