There is a Dating Life After 50

We used to think only the young had a dating life. Now that millions of us are over fifty, we find that isn't always true.

I became single again when I was about to started the second half of my century year. I was at a loss as to what to do for a social life. I was, for the most part, a stay at home Mom, with very little social life, outside of church.

I feel I was one of the blessed ones because I had a couple of single friends and they got me to go to a singles group at one of the local churches. There I met other senior singles, most of them in the same situation as I was. We had done what was expected of us, married young, had our children, then spent the next 20 years watching them grow into adults. Now when we were expecting to settle in and wait on becoming grandparents, we found ourselves divorced and alone.

Coming to this group was a wonderful adventure for me. I met many nice people and a couple of stinkers. Most of all I met people who were willing to help me adjust to my new status and grow as a re-single.
[Re-Single= Someone who had been married, some for many years, and had forgotten how to interact with others]

In this blog I hope to pass on, not only what these lovely people taught me but what I have learned in my Life Coach training to you, my readers. Please feel free to send me questions and give me your impressions of what I'm doing.
