The need for a relationship

There are many women on CS that state they do not need someone in their life. So I ask myself the same question. I have to admit that having been in a relationship for the last 20 years I do enjoy being able to do things on a whim like popping out for a coffee or going for a swim by the pool doing a little sunbathing but then again making a meal for one and eating alone makes me wonder whether it would be nice to have company. So now that I am over the age of raising a family should I continue my search to meet someone for a relationship?

Now that depends on how much you are willing to put into a relationship,how much effort,how much you are willing to compromise on things,how much you are willing to share and even what you would be willing to give up..if the plus side outweighs the minus side..go ahead and keep looking..if not..then the occasional date,fling or what ever you want to call it might suits you best ..but then that is just my opinion..
There isn't anything stopping you, but you from seeking a relationship. In truth, no one is past the age of raising a family. You could meet someone with children. In my case I am raising a granddaughter. This began after my divorce and while I was still in college. Raising a second family is not how I had envisioned my future, but it is the toughest job I will ever love.
Good luck in your personal search. handshake
Some men or women are satisfied with the life they live alone..Every body needs to decide for themselves and be true to themselves. If you are here, you probably would like to have a company..cheers
I would have thought the more obvious question would be to ask them why they're on a dating website.
I've said the same thing....... I would LIKE TO HAVE someone in my life (someone special that is), but I don't necessarily NEED to have someone in my life. There's a big difference!
It is nice to have your own space from time to time, but many things are more enjoyable shared!
I do not say that. I do not wish to talk to just my animals and horses for the rest of my life. Sometimes it is just the simple fact of snuggling at night time that is comforting. It has been almost nine years since I was last married and I do not pretend that living alone is so wonderful. I am very independent and I do like to do what I like to do but not always.
Thank you feelinglost!
I will agree with you..... making a meal and sitting down to eat alone is one of the times I wish there was someone there to enjoy it with me......Going to bed at night on your own can also be a lonely time!

All the best, I hope you meet someone special!
@ feelinglost..yes it kinda is..but should you not do a bit of soul searching first as to how far you are willing to go in a relationship ?What you would like..casual, short or long -term To be clear about it because it would safe you and the other party from getting disappointed.. JMO
