I have been talking a lot over the past couple of weeks to a friend I have had for over 40 years. He is 58 years old , been married, divorced and last week his last relationship ended after 6 years. He works away Monday to Friday, but loves going out at the weekend …. He is worried he is stuck in a rut, and too old to meet anyone, So, dear MyLotters ….any advice for him please ……

He is never too old. He just needs to keep his eyes and mind open.

They have dating sites here, and I assume there, solely geared towards people over 50 who are still looking to meet a life partner. So, obviously, there are plenty of people out there still available. He can ask friends if they know anyone, join a club, if he’s religious, go to church, and hey, if he’s willing, try the dating sites of people over 50. I’m 45, and I haven’t given up yet. As long as we’re breathing, we still have a chance to meet someone. Hey, my stepmom got divorced when she was 33, and dated like twice until she met my dad and married him when she was 61. She said he’s the best thing that’s ever happened to her, and was worth waiting for. So, love still happens!

He needs to make his own choiceses and remain open to relationships. Perhaps it might do him some good to be single for a while and heal from his last relationship before jumping into a new one. When you end a relationship, there can be some depressive moments and grief attached no harm in just being himself.

Here there are organisations like Singles Without Partners who organised social outings as a group. Maybe there is something similar there.

He is single since last week, please tell him to heal first from his past relationship and dont rush. if someone's meant to come, they'll come on their own. No need to rush it, he might just get hurt more that way.

In my view, age is just a number to find the right one for him. He just needs to keep on mingling and socialize with others.

He is not too old, he just need to be very careful, not to fall into a trap.

As long as he is willing, he can meet others. Just lower the expectations and don't pressure himself to find 'the one's It is better for him to enjoy himself, love himself, enjoy life and the rest will follow

Take a break and don't just think about single/couple status. Do things you enjoy and you may just find someone that way.

He needs to get involved in some sort of community activity. You are never too old to meet someone. I wish I could meet someone.

You're never really too old. But he does need to take some time before seeking someone else to have a relationship with. At least, that's my recommendation!
