Posted: 11/2/2009 8:15:48 AM | Here is the downside to being single..
1. There is a part of you that is not expressed
2. Often you can achieve far more that you ever could single. However that is assuming that you have a supportive partner.
3. Conversations late at might are usually a monologue

Posted: 11/2/2009 8:35:34 AM | For me, there's no downside! I love being single and plan on staying that way. However, I also love having a special man in my life that I see on a regular basis, for sharing love if it happens, fun times and life experiences, without live-in or marriage.
That's not easy to come by, these days. Most men seem to be looking for marriage or live-in.
I felt that way when I was 50 and I still feel that way. | |

While I don't want to be single for the rest of my life, this is the first time in my life I've really been alone. My kids were always around when I was younger and a single mom. Now I'm really learning what I like about myself and that I really enjoy my own company. I don't have to answer to anyone. I can go to the gym or shopping after work and come home and eat dinner at 8:30 if I want.
I'll enjoy being part of a couple when the time is right for both of us. Until then, I'm enjoying being myself and I'm happy... | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 6:20:19 PM | Downside.....
No one to warm my toes at night...
I miss...and long to hear someone else breath and feel their heartbeat it lulls me into sleep and give me great comfort.
I miss a man's smell....the cologne on the pillow whenever I wake up in the morning.
I miss touch....like a pat on the behind whenever you cooking....
Kisses for no reason...
I love yous for no other reason then they are happy your there...
Sex...not the getting to know you kind...but the deep intimate kind that only your partner knows....and it touches you from your feet to deep into your soul...
The personal little inside jokes that you both have...
The pride at knowing someone so well and loving them so much you are proud of them and their accomplishments.
The two of us camping...
The two of us backpacking...
There is a lot to miss if you have had love in your life. But having to accept and make it the best for yourself at this moment in time is doing your best to live your life and reach your full potential....I believe that someone special is out there but at this very moment I am not ready for them nor are they ready for me....so right now I love my life.....and I will love it better when were together......until then....I am happy in the moment... | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 4:29:54 AM | Having to clean my flat Having no one coming around on a regular basis means the standard tends to slip and now although my clothes and dishes are washed and clean, the dust is getting thick in places.
Too much time spent online chatting and playing games instead of getting the polish and cloth out. | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 5:25:06 AM | it`s not being 49 and single, can`t think of anything else!! You don`t need a husband, it`s too easy to find male friends for whatever purpose they might need to serve and yet get that precious time to yourself. Go get it baby! | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 1:09:21 PM | There are no up sides or down sides of being single over 50. All of it is good with some not so good. I love quiet Sunday mornings. Reading peacefully. It would also be great to share my quite Sunday morning with someone. Coming home in the evening-having a glass of wine and preparing dinner can be great alone or with someone. I think it has to do with attitude and gratitude. I am grateful I have a lovely home to come home to and a great job that pays the bills. I would love to have someone to share my live with but that does not stop me from loving what I have.  | |

Sleeping alone , no sex on the spur of the moment, no one to share the shower , fixing food and eating alone , noone to share all the things one shares with a steady . noone to remove a nasty splinter
run my bath I don't do showers..
Laugh at my booty dance...
Sheet...hammerman rub it in.
Now this?
...I want my hair caressed until I fall asleep..
I almost forgot why I grew it...Sounds good..Whooo!

Posted: 11/5/2009 2:51:57 PM | Ooooooo, LOTS of Good Things to being single, but you ONLY want the downside .. shucks ....
OK, not in order of priority:
having to go through some really wierd dates in my quest to find a LTR
having to take some really cool trips alone sometimes
having to watch some really cool movies alone sometimes
not having a steady partner for ballroom dancing lessons, which means that I'll probably get partnered up with a really, ah, never mind ..
not having a mommy for my doggies and kitties when I have to be away on a business trip
being the odd person out when there's a party and everyone else is married ...
not feelings loved sometimes, and not feeling needed sometimes .... except by family and pets ....
having to go to Walmart, at least with a partner, we could take turns dealing with all the bozos
If I get the H1N1, who the heck will drag me to the hospital, or at least stuff some chicken soup down my gullet? And feed my monsters?
........... and that's only a partial list .......... | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 3:12:33 PM | What fixerupper said about tossing out food. Especially for someone who spent her formative years learning to cook for 7-10 people at supper.
Other than that? My perception may be slightly skewed because I was married for a long time,and he passed away unexpectedly. I don't NEED somebody to support me or live with me, but I would like to have a meaningful relationship. However, at this point in time it would seem that the dating pool needs a little chlorine.

Posted: 11/5/2009 3:22:17 PM | I want someone to join me walking under the moonlight. I truly have had the feeling while walking under the moonlight. Today I started to have a thread of mine with the topic of "Walking under the Moonlight". A few minutes later, my thread was deleted. Absolutely, those who voted to delete my thread lacked an ability to walk by me under the moonlight...  | |

I find I toss more food from the fridge when I live alone.
Do that too, the critters can't eat all the extra stuff - at least they would if I let them, but it would also result in some unpleasant effects later on [why does a dog barfing at 3 AM sound like Dolby surround sound?]. Then there are the times I find myself unpacking groceries that include some of the stuff I don't care for that he liked.
Some of what Krebby said, too. | |
