Anyone here over 40?

[c00lbeans]

I'm new and I'm just curious. Seems like most people here are teenagers or 20's. Would like to network with people my age or older. I'm in Texas.

Hi cOOlbeans.

60 old enough for you!

i'm a little over half that age...

and Jilted John: I totally agree with your quote about cynics.

Thanks. Nice to 'meet' you. I'm 45. I can't figure out how I wound up alone. I once had a big loving family. I chose not to have kids of my own, got divorced, and now my family is deceased. I'm rather shocked by the whole thing. I never pictured myself alone. Weekends are really hard for me I think because I don't have work to distract me. I try to keep busy and accept invitations, but it's not the same. I just hate going home alone.

Thanks for listening. What's your story, each of you?

I'm really sorry about your family, and all of your families. If you don't want to be lonely, put yourself out there. Don't be afraid of letting others get to know you. If I was in that situation, I'd probably get a dog. They're great; they're unconditional lovers.
