Senior Relationships

As we age we may be alone because of the loss of a spouse, but that is no reason to not have a happy relationship with another senior. We are more prone to depression as we age and the family has moved on with their own families. The days are lonely and we need a friend to keep us company. Many times there are senior centers that have a program for seniors to meet. This may be in your church or at a separate center just for seniors 60 and older. You may not feel like a senior, but the birth certificate tells the story. One good thing about being a senior is that now you get discounts if you ask for them.

Discounts are just the tip of the ice berg so to say. Being a senior has the privilege of a lot of things the younger people do not have. We get special discounts at some restaurants with a birthday card. We do get Social Security, but that doesn't help with the loneliness. Just because we are older we still need the closeness we once enjoyed with our spouse or significant other.

Don't jump into Internet online dating world; that is not a good idea for seniors since there are some who will scam senior citizens. Being lonely you might fall for anything, and then you may be in trouble. Find a nice person through your friends, family and your church. You might even find a nice person at the grocery store or bridge group.
