It is not impossible to find love this late in your life. Whether it is a second-, third-, fourth marriage, or perhaps your very first, senior love stories are fascinating, if not really touching. My favorite must be a long lost, requited first love and with the technology today, that is not impossible at all! Let me share this little story: I have a friend who was widowed by her [...]

Tired of traditional dating that usually involves too much emotion while giving you a not-so-desirable result? Hate to waste too much time and effort into something that probably won’t last? Care to break free of your stereotypical dating scene? Then perhaps it’s time for you to try speed dating! I know. Speed dating and the aging population don’t usually go hand in hand but really, who says it cannot be [...]

Sex is good. At any age. Just as long as you can handle it. And it is not only by means of sexual satisfaction, it goes way beyond that, it even has health benefits if you want to go all scientific about it. First off, sex is a great stress reliever which may explain why after a row with your partner, all you wanted to do was to have a [...]

Who says Valentine’s Day is only for the young ones? Of course, it’s also an occasion for the young-at-hearts namely, us, seniors. I am not a bit embarrassed to admit that it is one of few occasions in a year when I get all excited, and dreamy, and all swoony. You can’t really blame me, with all the things I need to attend to 24/7, it’s kind of hard to [...]

We all have our own parameters in life. Every man has his own idea of what’s enough and what’s lacking such that most of the time, especially if a couple is not running on same wavelength, a person may find their partners as “too much” or “too little” while the other half may find the opposite of that in the said person. Seniors are not privy to that. No matter [...]

I don’t know about you but I find holidays more romantic than a valentine’s day. Maybe it’s the duration of the occasion, holidays being a somewhat weeklong event while Valentine ’s Day is just a one-day—overnight even—stint. Or perhaps it’s the weather, holidays being colder—so much more lovely to get curled up with someone you love while nursing a cup of hot cocoa. Either way, holidays are the perfect occasion [...]

Believe it or not, it is easier to get a divorce than get married in America. I dare say, part of the reason why many marriages failed is knowing there is an easy way out even if the marriage was still salvageable at that time. However, we seniors belong to an era when marriage was a sacred thing that two committed persons engage in—until death intervene–at the very least, and [...]

Al and Tipper Gore’s news of separation last June came as a shock to most American. No wonder, since it was about 40 years of married life for this high profile couple prior to the news and nobody’s expecting it to end like that. Well apparently, nobody except for hundreds of married seniors worldwide who must have understood what happened and what went wrong. It is important to note that [...]

Lucky are those who stayed with their partners for such a long time that it already became impossible to imagine life without the other. Some may look at it with a disbelieving eye and will try to find loopholes or signs that the marriage is not what it seems. Then there are those who can only stare with envy and wish theirs would also last that long. I say I [...]

Indeed, online dating made it easier for seniors to meet other people, something that is not quite possible years ago. Online dating took dating to a whole new level, enabling seniors to meet other single seniors even if they are miles away from each other or just around the corner but living in an entirely different circle. In other words, it made our world a little wider and gave us [...]
