LOVE and Meaning
I date and I am 70. Why do I do it? I have always had a man in my life or I was hoping for one. Nothing has changed except that I am older. I think life is better with a connection of the closest kind. I am educated and financially independent and have been for most of my life, but that has nothing to do with affairs of the heart except that I am freer to make choices.
Love makes life meaningful.
I need a man that engages my mind, captures my heart, and moves my spirit. Any person can do one or more to some extent, but only a man and woman are designed by nature to bind in a powerful way and become almost as one.
I date only nice men and getting close is good and how good is speculative and/or private.
I get hurt, and I lose faith, but I have to find it again because I am empty without it.
I write this and share this for all those who are in relationships that need work and for all those who have no relationships and have lost hope. I believe the quality and your capacity and willingness to love; may determine your quality of life. I share my secrets here and bare my soul to say what may benefit others. I value your thoughts and experiences and would love to be enlightened by you also. It is like a song says. “go find somebody to love”.
Well Rose congrats to your opinion. World has changed, people have changed and the young ones don’t walk the same line we do. It’s always good to be careful and I compare it with a driving licence. One can have it for 40 years but one has still to watch the traffic on the road!
You’ve been doing the right thing Rose and you are thinking the right way. Stay on that and regards Michael
I admire you bloom, not only for you willingness and your ability to find love ,but also your honesty… it, s not easy to find a like minded person at an older age, but loving someone does not stop because one has a couple of years on the calender….I hope you go on living and loving for many years to come.hugs….xxxx…lani…
vonMichael. Thanks for the thoughts. The world has changed but we may get lost in rules, regs and diversions and totally forget our destination. I do from time to time and I believe we all do. So, I will try to do as you said and keep thinking as I stated.
Thank you lani, for your admiration. My willingness and ability is self serving but my honesty is to allow others to benefit from what I experience, but even then I get so much reinforcement and guidance back that I get more than I give. The smallest act of kindness to another can spread love around. The 70th year been more of an adventure than I could have ever believed possible. How is the adorable cottage?
Doing very well, ty. Bloom, everything is i place now and the kiddliwinks have put up my garden arch and pot plants where I want them, my rubber plant is a bit big for the front porch, but I can trim that back a little,, i am so comfy cosy, I , hope to beback online properly, today or tomorrow…. xxx… lani. love it
Lani, you are so quick and thank heaven for kiddiwinks. Maybe you will have time to meet your neighbors, or get acclimated to your new community.
since when did age stop people being able to love???? I am married and have been for nearly 44 years….and I love my hubby more than ever now…..and if I wasn’t married?…..well who knows?……maybe I would like to have someone around…good luck to you bloom I say…..live love laugh xxxxxxx M
Lucky you, morv. I know you count your blessings. I hope it continues for you
forever or close to it. Some people seem to get old and find more reasons to hate than to love.
Wow Roseinbloom. I love your honesty and admire you for it. Who knows what is around the corner or for how long we will have it. It is very special to have someone to share life with, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. As to how far anyone wants to share that experience is what feels right for that person. Age is just a number so why should life stop then. Enjoy all that you have to share and I hope you get it back ten fold.
So sweet Debbie and you seem to get me 100%. I have know no way of knowing what I have communicated until one person really gets the whole thing. Honest sharing is the only we can really learn a lot about what we need to know.
Rose, I must thank you for your honesty and for exposing your heart to all of us! I am so pleased that you are still dating and seeking that partnership connection. It doesn’t matter how old we are, the magic can still happen, at any age! The trick is, to keep looking! Am so pleased for you!

I don’t know if I should write on your blog.. I feel uncomfortable,, as if I will be demoralized, criticized or penalized for my option,, but you said you want a man that will satisfy you mentally, physically and spiritually,, One thing I can say.. I am a man,, I know what a women wants as longs she tells me.. If she says nothing and I’m satisfied,, I take it she is.. If you can’t find a man that you feel satisfies all your needs.. Maybe it shouldn’t be him doing the talking but the listening.. Lou
