Yes we can fall in love at any age.I am 71 and love someone deeply.
We will meet in person soon ...is already a year between us we know each other up to now well, will see what develop of our meeting but at least we will be friends forever,over 1.600 emails between us I believe we have something together to keep us happy until the end of our life. .
I would follow him anywhere, we are from different country see one another on the net he is a bit older than me, but I believe our heart is allways ready for love.. Love in senior age is beautiful two good friends helping one another till the end.
Is never a limit for love... at our age is even a beautifull type of love based on friendship, companion and tenderness towards each other. We are old as we feel and happiness no mater how old we are we allways can find it. . . .

I , too, am 71 years young, and still hoping to find a compatible gentleman again. I don't think falling in love has any age limit. I would love to "be in love" again.

Belisa.. you are as young or as old as you feel. At this time, I look for my one-and-only but I can be happy with one-on-one friendship. The very best of love and friendship be yours.

Reuniting with my first Love:
How to explain without being too wordy..? George was my first crush, my first date, and the only man I will ever want.
Our parents were good friends, and I remember visiting George's house with my parents when I was as young as 10 or 11. My father and his would talk, and my mother would play their piano. He and I would go into his room and listen to the radio and dance, or I'd follow him around and watch him work on his bike, and later his car... I was in awe of him, and thought he was the handsomest boy I had ever seen.
In 1956 my parents lost our home on Cape Cod to foreclosure, and we moved out of state. In 1958 my mother had died and my father decided to move back closer to home. We visited with George's family, and George and I had one date, but I think we were both too shy to actively pursue anything further. We also now lived at least an hour away from each other, so we drifted apart.
Over the years I wondered where he was and what he was doing, and every so often I'd drive down to my old house, and then go by his house to see if I could catch a glimpse of him...to no avail, as he had already moved out on his own by then.
Periodically, I'd stop in to see my former home and say hello to Harry, the man who had bought it so many years ago. One day in August of 2007 I stopped by on my way home from taking my grandkids on a camping trip, and he had company. He told me to wait, and he called his friend over to my car, and asked him if he remembered me. He did. It was George! When he told me who he was, I almost fell over! We talked a long time, I took pictures, but soon I had to leave to bring the kids home and return my rental car.
**It's amazing to me how the universe works... It seems five or six years ago, George had some health issues, and retired. He then moved back home with his brothers. One day he was sitting outside the local market and Harry came up to him and began talking to him. They became friends, and George would visit Harry at his house...(my old home) Now we both visit him...
The spring of 2008 I finally was able to buy a car, and immediately began going back regularly to the Cape to find George. I spent every free minute with him, talking about our families, nature, our lives, the past 50 years, and life in general. We have so much in common, and it just seemed right that we should be together. Soon we realized we loved each other, (I remember the first time he actually said it...June 28th.) so we spent the whole summer together, and we're still together. Our lives have been quite different, but we've melded them. It isn't always easy, but he's a very good and patient man, and I love him.
Love has no boundaries, neither age nor circumstance...I look forward to being in love again. I miss the intimacy of love...knowing the little things about your partner. Anyone out there?
Love is intrinsic to every human, as long as they have breath! The facts speak for themselves... Infants in Euopean orphanges who did not receive love or affection did not flurish. Older one who survive a deceased spouse often die shortly thereafter. Love, wheather given or received, adds meaning and dimention to our lives!
Falling in love can happen to any of us and there is no age limit. I will be 73 tomorrow and would love to have a gentleman friend to travel with, talk with and just be a companion. After retiring, one needs conversation and friendship. It might not equate to love, but we Seniors need friendship and companionship regardless of our age.
No it has no age limit. However, we should learn from our youth that honesty is absolutely mandatory in our golden years. Fellas if you're just looking for someone to take care of you be honest. If you plan on showing no interest in them as a person beware. Be grateful that someone is willing to be a companion at the most vulnerable time of life.
Hello Everyone
I have not posted for quite a while on the Eons site...but when I saw this question about love and aging ...I could not resist.....From my perspective...Age has nothing to do with falling in love! It is beautiful to be in love at any age. I think there are a lot of misconceptions about aging. Research indicates if you take care of your health you can be an active player in the games of love (sex) for a very long time. Falling in love and having a wonderful partner is perfect for us at any age...most things are more fun when shared by two..wouldn't you agree? Plus who would want to be alone or put limits on love...when it happens there is no turning back..Love is one of the most important energies in the world, it is the most healing emotion in the universe after forgiveness. Personally I think the only thing that changes as we grow older is that the body ages . I have never felt any different at any age so far. .I am still the same person and if anything...little smarter with age and more aware of my many blessings. There is nothing more energizing and truly exciting than being in love at any age!!!
To falling in love!~
Falling in love, I believe doesn't have any age limit. I am 64 years old, and I still have love feelings.
