I'm new to this group. I have something I'd like to address and please forgive me if it has already been discussed here. I am a widow. Lost my husband two years ago. I finally feel like I'm ready to date again. The issues I am finding now it that at 57 years old----I'm too old for the bars and too young for the "senior" organizations. Not only that, but I see that most men my age think they'd rather date the 30 and 40 year olds. I'm joining an organization as a volunteer, but unfortunately, it's going to be working with older adults w/Alzhiemers. Not exactly a dating market!!! Does anyone else feel like they are having similar issues? And what would be some ideas/suggestions for getting me a date? My friends can't really help cuz they are in the same boat as me--either divorced or widowed. So whatever is suggested will be a great deal of help for them too.

Have you networked with friends to let them know you are ready to date? Getting introduced to a "friend of a friend" is a good way to meet nice people. Gym, church are good places to start. Our local university has Senior Leisure learning classes and those are full of people your age, men and women.

Try not to rule out meeting others on the Internet. With MS, I don't get out very much at all anymore. I'm on permanent disability now, but before MS hit me two years ago, I was very much an outgoing people person. I've met so many nice people both here on DS and elsewhere on the Internet. The Internet certainly isn't a bar or a nightclub, but it is a curious place where you can meet others and explore the "possibilities" so to speak. There are some very nice persons who you might discover are looking for the same things in life as you are. The downside is the same as with meeting others anywhere else. You'll run into the same numbers of liars and fakes. There's just no way around that The only other downside to meeting others on the Internet, I have found is distance. Meeting someone from not too far away is always a challenge.
