change and age


My life has been kind of the same for many years now. As a I grew up knowing my Mom took care of everything. At 16 I learned Y she did. Only one of 4 siblings that stayed with my father. The first man in my life I couldn't depend on. I learned how to be strong and try to do for myself, I've made plenty of mistakes in my life but, manage to go on. Having my first I learned how to give love and protection. Even getting married I felt like my life is just beginning. Still being me and also taking care of my family. I didn't do the "I want U to do this" thing. However, I thought "we can do this" was better. It gave an option. In some aspects of my life, I have CHANGED to adapt to this crazy place we live in. I had to be nice at work because it was serving people. After me and ex broke up, even before I got along better with men younger than me. (he was) Most older men, I found to be set in their ways, and not wanting to change but wanted the woman to change. Now, if there was a man that I was sure about, until the end of time... I would change some things in my life. So, question #1- How likely being our age, would U be willing to change for ur partner ?
Question #2 How old do U feel is too old for a relationship ? I don't feel like there is anything wrong with having friends of the opposite sex. Friends r very important to enrich our lives. Loving our friends we have.

At this point in my life there's very little I would change for anyone, although circumstances often require that I change things for myself.

We are never too old to be in a relationship. We're old... not dead!!! [Although I wouldn't be interested in a 24/7 one.]

It all depends on what the other person is asking you to change. Some things are flexible while others I see as non negotiable. The older you get the more set in your ways you become.

No age is too old for a relationship. It’s all a matter of what you’re looking for and what you’re willing to allow into your life. Love is timeless.

I agree with Indigo. Age shouldn't be a barrier to a relationship. .

I'll be honest, I just don't worry about it. I am not looking for someone to start a family with. I have a great job and decent investment portfolio. I own my home, a project house, and I have a bid in on a small lake cottage (well know August 8th).
So when I meet someone and we hit it off, we live in the moment. The .oment may last days, years, hours, and that is not what matters.
Best key to happiness think in the moment and let forever be what it is.

I really agree with what Indigo said. It all depends. There are some things in my life that are set in stone and others that might be negotiable.
I do not think that after two good marriages, I really want to gamble on a third, but there is a lot to be said about compatible companionship. I'm smiling, because that is all I was seeking when I met Joe.
Another thing that hold me back is not wanting to deal with another loss.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I would consider making a change IF the change resulted in a better/healthier version of myself AND IF the change flowed naturally and didn't feel like an ultimatum. Re age ... I don't think one is ever too old to embark on a new relationship. I can say, though, that with the passing years I've gained experience that informs how I approach potential new relationships.

A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

In any relationship you have to give and take a little, well that's what I think anyway. As for age, yes I do feel I'm a bit too old to start off in a new relationship again. Maybe if i were lonely I'd feel differently. I think It's great for those that have found love again, whatever the age.
