My mother passed away several years ago and after grieving for a year or two he threw himself out there, joined dating websites and started going out on dates, dinners etc. He dates good looking women in their 50s, a year ago he was dating a woman and it started getting serious but they decided to break it off as she lived in another city and constant traveling was exhausting for them.

Beginning of this year he has met another woman who lives in his city, last summer they went on holidays together and now it looks like they are going to move in together.

Just throwing it out there for the people who think they will never find anyone because they are 50-60 or 70 lol. Age is just a number, and while it is harder than it was in your 20s or 30s, it's not impossible.

I have seen a lot of examples like my dad. Chin up and keep trying.
Actually, it's a lot easier than when you are in your 20's or 30's.

You seem to be unaware of the fundamental market dynamics of dating, there are a lot more single women than single men over the age of 55. (By contrast there are a lot more single men than single women below the age of 35). The people over 55 that say they will never find someone are almost always women. Dating is far easier for your father now than when he was in his 20s, assuming he is targeting women close to his own age.

Pimp daddy. The reason most men can do well at dating at this age, is because they get it. Unfortunately a lot of young guys are clueless and fail at dating.

From one Cubs fan to another, this is not true. Last summer when I was 50, I briefly dated a 65-yr old woman. She was stunningly beautiful and sexy and if we didn't live on opposite coasts we'd still be dating.

Now, Go Schwarber!!!

The Cubs didn't get it done in October. Plus, they are thinking about signing playoff choke artist David Price. I'm not amazingly optimistic about 2016. I'm not pessimistic either. They'll be a better than average team next year, but not championship level.

Now, the 64 year old dad doing well. I'm impressed. A 64 year old guy in shape can date women in their 40s if exceptional, women in their 50s if he is of reasonable quality. While these women may not be as good looking as 18-39 women, they'll still offer many quality attributes. Cheers to your father, OP!

Well of course. That's a no brainer. No longer trying to create a family at 60.

Love this post. I think it has to be better to meet the right person after 50 because you understand so much more by now. I'm hoping that my man will cross my path soon. I just keep looking on the sunny side because I know he has to be out there.
