Just make sure you are ready though ... It is REALLY tough getting close to someone after you've programmed yourself to be devoted to one particular person for decades.
So just how old are you, AS? I'm late 50s. And for the life of me, I can't imagine marrying, much less dating someone much younger. I don't want to have a household someday filled with young kids or teenagers unless they're my grandchildren.
What I've heard from most people is that there are a LOT of single women between 50 and 65 but most of them are screwed up. Really screwed up. I got hammered here by a few veterans because of a brief relationship I had with a woman my age that began 75 days after BD and lasted about 3-4 months. But I learned one heckuva lot so I don't regret it for a minute, although it most definitely WAS too soon.
Also, and maybe you don't want to be 100% public about it, but I'd appreciate having a one-on-one dialogue with you about dating. What do you think?
