Maybe it's because before, love was for real, and your mother feels that she has been loved to the full, and it is lasting, for all her lifetime. She has surplus reserve...to last a long time.
Maybe she has received the love that most of us hope and dream of. Some people do get lucky.
When you pass a certain age dating takes on a new dimension,its more relaxed and less hurried, at 60 (my age)you have been throgh quite a bit in emotional terms and have pretty much decided what you want and how you want to use the "golden years".
If you are comfortable financialy,there is less stress, no houses to pay for or kids to educate, maybe if you haven't already, you have the chance to travel and meet new people and places.
Quite a few older daters are looking more for companionship, somebaody to have fun with and maybe do some travelling with. In my case there are no children to worry about but those that have children can at last make decisions without having to ensure that the kids are taken care of.
All in all, once I hit 50 a new world opened up, I have been enjoying it for quite a while now!.

what difference does it make how old your are U think just because you reach 50 that life stops and you no longer have those urges I know lots of people into their 50s that are still dating and looking so I say yes. all these years of experience have got to be good for something

For some though they take it too far as following happened here a few weeks ago (the victim is fine, but did suffer scars):
AN 85-year-old who stabbed a pensioner 14 times after she spurned his romantic advances told how she drove him "insane" in a rambling prison confession.

I voted, no , not normal at all
I think 50's far too old to be dating. In fact, they should give up at 40 Maybe take up a few exciting hobbies such as cross-stitch, crosswords and trainspotting

langleygirl: Many older people still desire companionship and love ... and a few I've seen fall in love and get married even in their eighties.
If your mom wants to date and possibility consider getting married down the road - why not? She's still a young woman considering that most people these days live well into their eighties and nineties. Why should she spend the rest of her life alone if she does desire companionship and love with a partner?
Really?Thats gotta be something really special to see.People that age with "that" youthful sparkle in their eyes.

It seems to be a generational difference. My grandmother widowed at 45 and she was even offended if someone just suggested she should be looking. I could swear nobody took her anymore until she passed away. Now I see many women over her age (at that time) behave like teenagers. Times have changed a lot; and I think it was for good.

Moonlove,
Sure it's normal to date after 50 yrs old. Love doesn't end with just your youth and stop after 50.
I was divorced and remained single for 17 yrs to raise my son. Wouldn't date or even flirt with anyone. My boyfriend was a widower for 2 yrs after being married for 30 yrs. He was very lonely. After a period of time, we both had taken the leap of faith and decided to start again and meet someone and maybe fall in love again.
Well...for each of us, we had only met 1 other person on the internet and there was no chemistry. We met here and found we were right for each other. It's now 2 1/2 yrs together and we are very much in love and enjoy making a date with each other every weekend and do projects, movies, dinner out, hang out or take in a museum, fair or mini trip. We also cook homecooked meals together and share the work. It's a wonderful time of life. No longer lonely. We are both empty nesters.
We are there for each other when times are tough or there is something worrying us.
Somewhere I read that people who have a companion in their later years live longer and remain healthier overall. Might have read it on CNN Health segment.
You have a good mom and encourage her to meet someone for friendship and companionship. She will never forget your father much like my b/f can never forget a happy 30 yrs with his wife.
BTW, it was my b/f's daughter who convinced him to meet someone. He sat and cried all the time on the weekends from lonliness and grief in spite of going through grief counseling.

Some women dont want to be with anyone after being in a long marriage even some men dont want to be married again but it is normal we all want it for different reasons tho some just use to waking up with someone companionship and someone to share your day with it is no different than what the younger ones want just we are at different ages
