I don't know if this helps, but I didn't meet my wife until I was in my forties. You have time.

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

But I'm guessing she wasn't your first relationship?

[-] PanoptiDon@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Correct, but the other ones sucked

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

What d about fifties? Asking for a friend ..

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

Obviously you are completely alone in your fifties being single, everyone else is in happy relationships.

If the sarcasm wasn't clear, it's literally never too late.

I had a friend during nurse training who divorced at 50, thought she was never going to be in another relationship, then met someone with whom she was happier than she ever imagined.

It's definitely possible.

People can get married to the right person in their 20s or 30s, change into different people, split up and find that someone else is now the right person.

You also get access to a much larger widow/widower market once you pass 50...

As @Num10ck@lemmy.world said: it's never too late to start being lovely.

As long as you're alive and capable of communicating, it's possible.

...here we go with the impossible standards.

What can I say? I'm high maintenance 🤷😁

It's never, never too late. I've seen men aged 60-75 get GFs and wives. One of them even had children with his new wife. Talk of the town is that one of these men never had a partner before.
