Can a woman over sixty find love again?

My marriage ended when I was sixty. I was dumped by my husband and went through a long period of grief and despair. After about a year I did a lot of internet dating and, ok I'll admit it, a lot of sleeping around. I was desperate for sex and love after eighteen years of a passionless marriage. However, I was too needy and desperate and although I had affairs with a couple of nice men, I think I chased them away with my neediness. Also they were both recently separated and wanted to date around for a while themselves. Now they've both settled down with other women (younger than me) and I'm still single at 65.

I seemed to have aged out of the internet dating pool.. Unless I lie (which I've done) there's is literally no one old enough for me on the internet, and if there was I probably wouldn't want him. I don't want to spend the rest of my life taking care of an old coot who needs a nurse. I'm still young at heart, vibrant and sexy. However, there doesn't seem to be anyone out there for me. I have no idea how to find a man, or if it's even possible to find a partner at my age. Please girls (and older guys) give me some hope.

OK, I don't want to be a cougar because I'm interested in a long term relationship now, not just sex, and the younger men I've met really only want sex with an older woman. I think it's a fantasy they want to fulfill, or they think we're easy, or who knows. When I mention the dreaded LTR (long term relationship) that's the last I hear from them. Barkley, as for spending time alone that's what I've been doing for the past few years now and am really tired of it. I've been without a man for a very long time and am now wondering if I will ever be with a man again.

If you believe you are vibrant and sexy...well that is awesome! I think I can understand your neediness, I am worried about the same thing after I end my marriage. I have had no passion or intimacy for years and I'm afraid I'm going to make poor men choices or come across desperate. Things come in their own time, so have some confidence that this too will work out for you!

You will be just fine. Why don't you spend sometime alone without a man. It sounds like you have always had someone to be with and have never learned to be by yourself. Try hanging out with girlfriends, family and just spending time doing what you want to do on your own. Love will come in time, do not go looking for it..... it will never happen. Enjoy life take up a new hobby, travel and just be happy with yourself and the fun loving person you are.
