[SIZE="3"]I turned 57 last May, and, my dating days seem long behind me, now. In these very hard economic and occupational times, the men have been hit the hardest, by layoffs, and plant closings, etc. Being low income and a single cd man, marriage no longer looks like a possibility. And, i am accepting singleness now, and, it is not as bad, as being in a hell of a relationship, though it gets lonely. Any of you out there been alone your whole life. I pretty much accept it now. Cats help a lot for me. [/SIZE]
