Any DU'ers over 50 who are in a new love/relationship?
Do you find it as exciting as it was in your 20's, 30's or 40's?
I am in one of those and its more exciting than it ever had been.
I'm 51 and she's 52. We met on e-Harmony and took it from there. We are both head over heels in love with each other and are getting married in September!
We both are "seasoned", and have had a long string of bad relationships. We've been through the "games" and the "wars", and have a better handle on things.
We have no expectations and just want to live by experience.
This is the happiest I/we have ever been!

Any other 50 + DU'ers taking a go at love again?

2. Congratulations!
Me? I'm scared to death to ever marry again....
.... unless he has one foot on a banana peel and one foot in the grave.
Then I might consider it! :rofl:

3. Congratulations, Maveric!
My 60 year old BIL met a great woman on either Match.com or E-Harmony after many years of being single.

It's probably the healthiest relationship he's had.

6. What did you think of the matching process that e-harmony touts
so much? Do you feel that it really helped you to find someone special, or do you think it was incidental? Had you tried other matching sites before e-harmony, and did you have any success with them?

BTW, congrats on your upcoming nuptials! :woohoo:

9. I've tried a couple local dating sites with bad results.
The scientific matching process seemed to work for me. They send you sets of questions that match you up with a number of prospective matches. You drop a note to them and more sets of questions fo to both parties. And so on...
Worked for me.
Best $100.00 I've ever spent.
