What I have found is that although it is easy to find a partner(s) it can be difficult to find the right partner unless one is fortunate. The wife of one friend of mine divorced him when he was 65. He remarried at 70 and is very, very happy. Another lost his wife to cancer when he was 77. He remarried at 82, is now 86 and is also quite happy. One just never knows! I do believe the best way to live is as one of a happy couple.

I've been single for quite a while now and finding a partner is not a priority at this particular time, I'm not looking, however, I find your words very encouraging. Once I'm in TV I hope to find my life long partner, someone I can't live without. I hope he's out there and we meet at the most perfect time, to enjoy the rest of our lives together. I'll admit, I sound quite sappy, but I can feel it in my heart.

Nancy,

You might want to try our 'Meet and Greet' threads, under 'Singles'. They have been having monthly parties, at the homes of those who have become involved in this online group. It's a more intimate and comfortable way to meet other singles, both men and women and it has really brought singles together, socially.

That said I am now inspired to write a poem, let me get back with you on that.

Ron, Rec'd you lovely note- don't know how to reply!
Would like to! Could we speak on the phone?
Guess I'm old-fashioned but that would be so much nicer.

Nancy, I have made friends one or a few at a time and have not been to any singles clubs. Through meeting people that way, I can pm a guy and invite him, or a gal and invite her, to dinner or a movie, or post on here and have a small group to gather where everyone is clear that there is no hidden agenda.
If you would like to suggest an event that would be fun, pm me and we'll take it from there. I'd like to meet you.
I'm not dating,
Kitty (see thread meet and greet new singles)
