[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I have some friends who have dated in their 50s with meh to very good results, so I think there is some hope but I wouldn’t stake my happiness on it.

This is such a great time of life to explore yourself, and all the things that interest you. If you meet someone via a shared experiential interest like hiking or kayaking or birding or ballroom dancing etc., that would be a very nice bonus but in the meantime you’re doing an activity that you love which leaves you feeling good either way.

Also if you haven’t got one already, get a dog. [/quote]

It is obvious that you are married and have been for a very long time.  OP should definitely pursue her interests, but the chances of meeting someone during them is nil.  Ask me how I know.

I met the man I am getting married to on Hinge in my fifties so finding love can happen.  But it is a numbers game.  Being in shape (and yes I am talking 50's shape, not 23 year old shape) is a huge bonus.  Being open to people that you would otherwise not go out with can open some good options.

And go into with an open mind, a little skepticism (there is far less trolling in this age bracket, but still) and a stiff upper lip.  I met some amazing men during my years of OLD and still remain friends with many.

Best of luck!

51f dp, but also married. I go to hikes through meet up and there are many 40's-60's single guys. I have been flirted with and was also asked out by a man my age. I don't wear a ring, so I guess he assumed I was single. I agree with the advice to persue your hobbies in person through groups. God forbid my dh dies, I'm certain I could find another partner without subjecting myself to online dating.[/quote]
