Message: Dear Fight naked;
I couldn't agree with you more. My husband passed away almost 4 years ago and I sometimes thinking that no other man will ever look at me the way that he did or want me the way he wanted me. Its a terrible feeling knowing that the chances of staying alone for the rest of my life is a possibility.
You are not alone my dear....take care

U don't have first idea. Before POF I was in 5 yrs long relationship although it ended up ugly it was wonderfully for most of it time way he loved me was more that love I was living in fairy tale. He would drive to help me shovel the snow- yea I live in buffalo. He was sitting with me when I was still livin at home after oral surgery all gross n slumbering everywhere. It will be miracle to find another guy that would love me same way he did

Seeing what is out there in the dating world and not finding what I want in a man that lives close by me yes I feel this way. I will not settle I have settled before and it was years off hell and back.

I admit I am a social lady. Friends are the best thing in life. Especially when you've lost your best friend, lover and soulmate of 29 years. It's hard to think you will find love again. I struggle with this now almost 4 years after my husband's death.

I know I have much love and faithfulness to give to another man in my lifetime. Dating over age 50 is very hard. It truly is hard to find a person with morals and values. Someone who can be faithful and wants a great relationship without ulterior motives. At least that has been my experience.

Dating over age 50 is very hard


See, personally, I don't find it hard at all! I go on dates.

I do not feel I will be alone forever - mind you, I do enjoy my space and my own company!

I've pretty much accepted the fact that I'm going to be alone the rest of my life, with a few fleeting romances here and there. I am slowly becoming ok with it. None of the women in my family have every been married or even been asked. I feel it is an inherited trend. Most of my relationships usually only last a few weeks. I have been in a few long term relationships. One that lasted a year and a half, one that lasted 2 years and one that lasted 4 years. These guys only stuck around because I was doing almost everything for them. As soon as that stopped or another girl paid them a little attention I'm always kicked to the curb.

Sadly I have never actually been in a relationship with someone I was really that interested or wanted to date. The guys I'm usually attracted to, have great personalities and most of their s**t together are rarely attracted to me. The ones that are just want to sleep with me and thats about it. when they realize I'm not going to sleep with them if we're not dating they disappear. Due to this I usually settle for guys I'm not really into because I'm lonely.

I'm tired of settling, but I also know that I'm not going to end up with the type of guy I want. Being alone has become a welcomed experience. You can't be let down and you can't get hurt if no one is there.

Nope..you're not alone. I too have been on my own a long time and can relate well...I've been learning to love ME! Spending quality time with my daughter and loving myself. Something I didn't do most of my life.
I too get lonely...mostly at night in that big ole' bed...but ya know I'm damn selective and won't have MY life any other way! WE deserve it! :)
There's some good people in this world too...I have to really look is all. I wish you the very best SweetKristine!

I too have accepted the fact I am going to be alone for the rest of my life. I'm OK with it now and realize life is for the young..men don't want middle age women.

As long as I have my happy home, dogs, money to travel and a comfortable retirement in front of me, when you get older you have to seek your pleasures and comfort elsewhere.

Yes I have those moments but I have plenty to keep me occupied even if I am all by myself and sometimes I am lonely but that is part of life. Besides you can be lonely even if you are in a relationship. I would rather be alone then to spend time with a man who I have no connection with( romantic or as friends).
Some deserving person will come along but enjoy your life now and when you have alone time take care of you. Plan a date with yourself and take a long bath, read a good book or watch a movie you have been wanting to see. You don't have to do those things but do something for you that makes you feel good.
Cause you could always Go with your friends, you aren't a third wheel if they ask for your company and who knows you never know when Mr. I have to know this women, will come along.

Why not loose some weight and get a makeover and put a glamor shot of yourself out there.

Wow. It saddens me to see so many people giving up so readily. Yes, it can seem hard and sometimes like there is nobody out there, however we need to take some faith... faith in ourselves.

We all have value as human beings, and there are people who will see and cherish that value. It may not always be the person you "think" you should be dating, however, it's not really about that is it? Love is more about a person who will love and respect you for who you are and who will build a life with you that will give you more joy than pain than it is about a resume.

It's not a list of things to check off. Yes, there is reality. We all have constraints and limitations that we must consider, however that does not mean that you can't find someone that fits into your lives and can make you happy.

My current GF isn't anything like the list I would have checked off on POF. Her background, education, appearance, interests and hobbies would not have matched most of mine. I probably wouldn't even have shown up on her search if she was on POF. However, she met the most important qualifications... she loves me, she accepts my love, and she's a good human being.

She's not perfect, but neither am I. She accepts me and I accept her, imperfections and all.

Silverlight : You seem like an intelligent and beautiful woman. There are more men that could love you and you could love than you realize. If I were a single man and on your side of the world, I wouldn't hesitate a moment to contact you. Open your heart and mind and you might be surprised who walks in and makes a nest.

Lisastarchild : Have faith. You are only 26 and life is very long. You will find love, the only question is when.

I can't predict the future. I don't know if everyone or anyone here will find their perfect mate, however, I do know that most here can find Love. It doesn't mean it will be perfect, and it doesn't mean that it won't require effort and compromise, however is there anything in life worth having that does not require effort and compromise?

Best of luck to all.

I do. I keep telling myself I'd rather be alone the rest of my life than have another terrible relationship again. I've built a huge wall up, but hoping someone special will come around and knock that security wall down.... just hasn't happened! I know my worth and I'm holding out for the guy that recognizes that as well... but DANG, where the heck is he?

I know exactly how you feel :)
Actually I've been having a rough week...I feel lonely too and scared that I'm going to be single forever and wonder if there is anyone out there that is decent anymore. But your not alone...and I'm sure there has to be some good guys left for us :) It'll happen when we least expect it. Sorry your feeling down :(

know this-- to the OP, you are not alone, there are people going through what you are going through and i think everyone gets lonely sometimes, heck i get lonely sometimes too but i don't get consumed by the loneliness but i go and do stuff i enjoy like working out or going to visit my brother or going to buddhist class to study or shopping for stuff i like or whatever.. . i am about to start school in august and i will be too busy to think about boredom or loneliness. just keep yourself busy and be proactive.

Hey NHra, your a yankees fan. awesome on that, assuming thats you in picture. As for been played, yeah it sucks, its hard, and its quantified at our age, at least for me, because we been through the loves...anger , hurt, resentment, and even baggage..is hard to get rid of.........they say time heals all wounds?. Im unsure of that, more, and more it feels like folklore, or theory, as when the issues do , happen, and theyre not resolved, old stuff does come back up....

I wouldn't call it a "negative" feeling anymore- I am simply resigned to my single situation and determined to make the best of it!

No, I don't ever feel that way, but then my friends often accuse me of leading a rich fantasy life ;) But seriously, with so many wonderful, beautiful souls out there why would I give up hope, especially when I'm not looking for or expecting perfection? (what would someone perfect want with me anyway lol)

Yes. This is a bad time. On vacation. My ex is away on a trip to Alaska that I hoped we would take together.
I think I have a good life, and then, suddenly, am feeling blue again. This stinks. Glad to know lots of us feel this way.
