After 2AM, that is when the bars close here.

It's never too late to find companionship. We are social animals and need that human contact.

When you are dead.

At 103 my grandmother quit looking. She died that year.

In my opinion, after death.

Never. 🙂

At your funeral or maybe a few days prior.

I'm with the never group. Who knows what our future holds. Why limit it? 🙂

Never too late...My uncle recently married at age 85 years of age.

When you want it to be. However, be careful, I just made a posting about the number of cons (mostly men) out there looking for someone they can take advantage of.

When my dad died (at 67) we encouraged our mom to look around (she was only 55). She did find someone but he was a low level con. Luckily she didn't have any money but he was always "borrowing" what little she had. She complained all the time and we told her to drop him. Unfortunately, she was weak and always answered she didn't want to hurt his feelings. He finally disappeared when she died (he didn't even come to her funeral). It can be a jungle out there.

A sad story.

How awful. Thank you for sharing your experience.

@Irene This was in Dallas. My family lives there and I am from there. My late partner was also living in Dallas (Plano) when we met.

Hmmm, I sense a common thread in these responses 🙂

When you're dead. After that it's just creepy.

Haha!

Maybe it's never too late, but I can see a case where it might not be a bad idea to take a break. You can want something so much that it can cloud your judgment and lead to bad decisions. That would be a good opportunity to stop for a bit and reassess your motivations. But not because it's "too late".

Think I might have found one...will be 70 in July!

Great news Anne, I hope for you that it ends in happiness for you both. I think you deserve that ........

@madmac Thank you! And right back atcha, whatever your goals!

I believe it's never too late. However, I think I'm much more picky now and wiser. I have been communicating with a local lady. We are becoming friends.

Congratulations!

Neverrrrrrrrrrr

Never too late! Just keep looking for your own life first.

Yep... I'm with the others. It's never too late.........

I know sometimes it's hard but never give up...just go back to the drawing board, bush yourself off and start looking again. Xxxx

When you aren't living anymore

I don’t think you should be working on it. Just be open to meeting new people and getting to know them. It might be better in the long run than looking for a life partner. Seems pressure-y for you.

As I see it - as long as you're breathing - and want to - remain open to the possibilities .

When your dead.

It never too late someone is allways waiting for that special person and when you find them you stop yearning ??

Once you’ve become disenchanted.

F--- knows, a partner would be nice, I'll worry about the details as we go along lol
