At the moment in fact I laugh that it's better than mine, no actually really it is
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.
My landlord is 60-something and does well. His gf is good looking (she's gotta be younger than him, I'm not sure by how much) and he occasionally has exes over as well.
The exes could be nice leverage for if I ever need to break lease.. lol.

Dating, Wealth, Careers....all the same. There are those who go and do it and achieve success. And then there are those who do nothing and complain about how crappy their life is. It is what you make of it. You determine your own destiny.

That age group is much like the teen years in many ways. Generally less worries in life and able to focus on oneself instead of the mountain of obligations of mid-age life. They focus on the now rather than the far future.
When I visited my grandmother-in-law (at the time 80s) in the assisted living home, every around her didn't act their age.... they were quite playful, did a lot of hobbies, socialized a lot, and yes.. even flirted amongst each other. It was quite surprising for me. I felt like I was the "mature one" lol.
I wouldn't be surprised if a few "dating" each other.... I hear that STDs spread quickly among retirement communities. On one hand, sorry for them. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure they are having sex more than I am... good for them!
