1. It's always a good idea to share some passion. At minimum, a passionate Kiss; more if you prefer!

2. Adrenaline helps you get excited to have some passion later in the evening. Snowboarding annd motorcycle racing on the freeway are both great - consult your local climate to choose.

I got nothin', Lori.

All I know is, there are more women over 50 than men, and most of the men I know are already married. It was very, very difficult to even find single men in my rural area - that's what pushed me to eH in the first place.

Beginning to check seed catalogs, hope this year will be better for the garden.

Being also in a rural area even when you find a person to date your activities can be pretty limited. My guy and I do a lot of cooking for each other. Yes, I found a guy on eh who cooks for me. We also enjoy day trips to areas of interest and explore all the places we missed going to when we were younger. Going to the zoo can be a lot of fun when you aren't watching little ones.

I'm not 50+, but I get contacted by a lot (A LOT) of guys in their late 50's even a couple in their early 60's!!... is that the new norm? Is there pressure from older men/women to feel as though they have to or should want to date younger people? Is that a way of holding on or making you feel younger too?
