What a great list of advice. I learned something great from one article which in words is all about perspective. Is it the beginning or the end? If you are 50 and it’s the beginning, then its the start of a brand new adventure. The first day of the rest of your life starts today. If on the other hand, it’s the end, then I guess things will seem a lot harder.
I know which I’d rather choose : )
The other thing I got as well was to dump the baggage from the past. Sometimes easier said than done I know, but if you can enter a new relationship without carrying so much of the past it can be a lot easier.
This article explains it much better than I think I am – maybe you get the gist of it.
Because we get along so well, but I guess he just doesn’t want anything further.

Well, I’m 52 and have been alone longer than I care to say. I would love to have a positive attitude about guys and dating, but the odds just aren’t in my favor. I am decent looking for my age, I am not a supermodel. I have tried the online sites and it seems you don’t stand a chance if you’re not a supermodel. Not to mention, the guys on these sites who let you know they just want sex. I feel they would have stayed married if they wanted a relationship. It just seems like a losing battle. I really don’t want to give up because I don’t want or deserve to be alone the rest of my life.

Holly, You are at a great age to have men knocking on your door especially if you want a permanent relationship. A lot of men online want a great relationship with a woman. The issue is….most women can’t see them because these men aren’t the cutest, they aren’t the flirtiest, and they often have the worst picture and profile. Yet, if you got to know them, they could turn out to be fun men who would love to be your “ONE.” Try dating men who aren’t your usual type and see if this makes a difference for you. Thanks for writing Holly.

Hi Lisa,
Thank you for your time and your quick response. I guess some of us women are visual creatures like men. I look at some of these guys and I can’t imagine kissing them, let alone anything more. On the flip side of this story, I have a guy who I have been friends with for quite awhile, whom I have also been attracted to. I don’t think he’s attracted to me. We never had anything between us, although he has maturity issues. It bugs me, bevau
