I think the problem is, the longer you stay single the more you get set in your ways, and though I often think I would like to have a partner again, question is....would it now be like an 'invasion of privacy' ?

I'm actually quite content being single again (didn't get married til 40 anyway), and I will have the company of my son for another couple of years before he's off to Uni'.

Maybe things will change after that.

Going back to topic: Having younger people around you also keeps you young in some ways, but if you want a real boost....try hanging out with PROPER old people, the ones who call you SON.
