Dating After Fifty


People have so many more options in dating after 50 than what was available to their parents. We are entering an era where the number of baby boomers entering retirement is staggering! With that, the number of single baby boomers will increase as large number of marriages fail as a result of divorce or death.

This post is devoted to people who seriously agree with me that dating life doesn't end at 50! People Fifty and and over many times are more financially secure, emotionally mature and ready to embrace life and love on their own terms!

The percentage of single baby has been rising rapidly in the past few years. According to a recent AARP survey, fifty six percent of baby boomers are separated or divorced from a spouse. Baby boomers are comprised of those born between 1946-64. Approximately 70 percent of formerly married singles in their fifties have been single for at least five years!

As of 2006 there are more than 79 million baby boomers. Estimated population in 1946 was 141.1 million. Today's population stands at 297.7! According to the American College of Sports Medicine, by the year 2030 more than 70 million Americans will be 65 years of age or older, and those 85 years of age and older will be the fastest-growing age group.

Average annual expenditures on health care in 2004 for people ages 45 to 54 the age group that is the heart of the baby boom generation. Number ofbaby boomers living in 2030, according to projections; 54.9 percent would be female.

Suddenly, after years of marriage and raising kids you are single again. It can be very difficult to accept the reality that you are now alone with not too many friends. Many people fear they will never find love again at their age.

There are literally millions of single people in their 50's. Many couples realize after their children are raised that they no longer have anything in common and decide to go their separate ways.

We are biologically engineered to fall in love and being alone is not natural for most of us. So, we are faced with the search once more for love and companionship.

At first, you may not know what you are looking for. Mostly, when just out of a marriage, people are looking for companionship. They may not be thinking long term. If you were married for a long time, you may need time to really get to know your self again and decide what you really want and what is not acceptable to you any longer.

Behavior that you may have tolerated previously may suddenly not seem so appealing. Now that you are free to choose again, take your time to meet new people and get in touch with the "new you".

Probably one of the easiest ways to meet singles is through a free dating service .
