Sink, Swim or Surf the Net
We are over sixty and alone. There are times when living alone is a wonderful thing. We only have to care for ourselves and perhaps our immediate family or cat. It's often a good thing to know and to do just what we choose without the concern of another's wishes. Oh the joy of living alone !
More often than not though it is that time in our lives when our partners are no longer with us due to illness, accident, divorce, or perhaps choice. Regardless why, time has passed and we are lonely. Do we really want to sink into our own little pool and just exist ? What happens when it's not our choice to be alone and we miss and desire at least companionship ? What then? Where do we look ? What is acceptable for people over 60 ?
It could been we take the dive by revealing our intentions to our family, friends and neighbors. Ask them to keep a sharp eye out for that certain someone they think would be a good catch. This has worked for many seniors. Some may end up being good friends , but maybe, just maybe Mr. or Ms Right was waiting for you to take the bait and float into their lives as well.
Perhaps we'll bump into that special someone by chance. Many a person joined a group or socialized with old friends and found a lasting relationship within this circle. Sometimes it takes more effort than that. Often we must do our homework. We must make decisions about what is important in our lives. Who is important and why are they ? When we figure that out it is time to "Network".
Are you more adventurous? In this fast paced world we now live in it is almost impossible to avoid the inevitable...the internet ! It's not just the younger generation Surfing the Net, senoirs are too.
Why not try a dating service ? Sounds a bit risky ? Being absolutly clear on what and who you are looking for can be a pleasant experience. There are plenty of sights dedicated to the young at heart senior.
When you think about it, our bodies may be on the downside but our minds are still young and alive. We have lots of energy and most of us can still look pretty good if we want to. Life's experiences have made us smarter and better at making wise choices. The net allows people to meet even from the other side of the world.
Rejection or acceptance with a simple tap of the key. That's all it takes to decide who comes into your life or not. Oh yes, you might have to screen many suitors, have many chats, go for many coffees, but chances are there is someone out there looking for you as well.
Don't be afraid to try new things. Stand up for what you believe in. Stand by your word. Who knows, you may be standing next to your new found partner. So, enjoy the rest of your life !
