Is it weird that a 50 year old man has never been married and...?

Just tell them the truth. I wish you married my mom. She re married and he's a mess. At least you can cook ( I read some of your answers).  Can you teach some cooking classes or something to find a babe? OOOh, join a book club. In person is way easier to trust than over the internet. You're in the Toronto area? (I'm in Edmonton). You should have no problem finding a club you could fit into. Trail and nature club, Scottish Country dancing club...........I don't know.\nBut good luck.\nI like your answers.

As I understand it, it would have been unusual for a Jewish man of Jesus's age not to have been married.\n\nClearly there is no 'evidence' either way ... the Bible is certainly not clear, other (less accepted by the mainstream church) gospels do talk of marriage.\n\nI don't know why so many folks get so stressed that he may have been married even if to MM. \n\nBelieve what you feel in your heart - what someone else believes should not affect what you believe.\n\nPeace, out

If love is blind, then it's also ageless.\n\nThere are the extreme cases that you hear about, that often involve celebrities. For instance, Charlie Chaplin was in his early 50s when he married Oona O'Neil (playwright Eugene O'Neil's daughter) when she was 17 or 18 years old. The had a long, happy marriage which produced 8 children, including the actress Geraldine Chaplin.\n\nPicasso fathered a child at the age of 80-something. And more recently, the late Tony Randall did the same thing with his wife, at the time 50 years younger.\n\nHowever, I think that the general level of attraction runs about 5-10 years in either direction, once you're in your 20s and beyond. There are practical considerations to think of if the age gap gets much wider than that.\n\nBut who ever said love is practical, either?\n\n______________________

I don't think so..... but I have never envisioned myself being older than 30 or so.  Maybe it's a prediction and I just don't know it yet.

No! He is hot for an older guy. NOT CALLING HIM OLD.\nLoved him in Dogma.

He's not married, as far as I know.

It not strange at all! Once, at 14, I dated 48 year old party official! Everyone knew, and nobody thought I was the least bit strange!

Who are these middle aged men are they married?  Maybe they didn't marry the right one.  Me and my husband have been married 15 years(not all easy). I love him more today than I did 17 years ago when I met him and our sex is greater than ever.  If you love each other, are committed to each other and can share your thoughts and emotions GO FOR IT!!!\n\nGood Luck:-)

All of your thoughts are definetly valid ones.  You know that the beginning of "where's this going" relationship stuff is NO picnic.All I can say is, keep your eyes WIDE OPEN.  Pay close attention to any RED FLAGS along the way (if there are any).  You know, it's just one of those things in life that really, only time will tell.  By all means don't put yourself in the position to feel obligated in to rushing in to anything.  I WOULD recommend paying close attention to his ACTIONS.  Be cautious of charming talkers.  Please, allow time to take it's course.  \n\nI would be curious why he feels it's necessary for you to know where he is, even if it is work related.  To me, it's just a bit odd.  That would get on my nerves after a while.  I mean, his employer is the one that really needs to know where's he's at all the time, not you. That's merely MY opinion.  Is he borderline needy without actually being needed?  Not that there's any crime of being 45 years old, having never married.\n\nAhh.  Like I said, just allow time to take it's course.  If it's really meant to go anywhere, then it surely will.\nDon't be too hard on him, or yourself.  Just be smart, okay?\nTake care.\n\nP.S.  Hey there c68!  I sure hope this turns out to be something good for you.  Be patient, enjoy each other, learn about each other.Maybe this is one that deserves your time.  I really do hope he's a good person.  Keep on your toes.  You seem to be a smart cookie.  Keep it up!\nI'm thinkin' about ya and if it helps, I'm pullin' for ya too. (Well, you know,...for both of you)  Take care.

Maybe he knows it won't work with the age difference, or he could be already married.\n\nK

I was married to a man 22yrs older than me.  We divorced, through no fault of his, because I was young and wanted to party.  He has since died, but I'd give up everything to have him back again.. I'm 59 and he would be 81 this year.  I miss him very much and still love him.

It sounds like he might be interested. If he's single and he's really a nice guy - just see what happens -- and let it flow naturally. Don't try to force anything. \n\nDon't listen to others who are hung up on the age difference. Age is a state of mind. But do beware that getting into a serious relationship with someone who's older is a little different than someone closer to your age. If you get serious and end up together -- there will come a point where you worry about him being so much older.....just think - when you're 41 - he'll be 60....when you're 51 - he'll be 70.....\n\nGood luck:)

Well involved and never married does not necessarily mean he is a loser. If that was the case then he would be living with his Mommy. Know George Costanza? Seinfeld, maybe he is picky or over critical. Either way nothing is wrong with it, get to the circumstances of the relationships he has had in the past.

There are two kind of 55-and-older single males:\n\n1.- Sean Connery, the old-fashioned gentleman, the image in the dictionary for the word "chivalry", he has the power and experience only possible with the years *drools* (Sorry, James Bond is my weak point hehe)\n\n2.- The rest of them who think they look attractive in their ferraris and hawaiian-style shirts, trying to pick up girls (half their ages) AND STILL THINK THEY'RE NOT AFTER THEIR WALLETS!!!!.... really, these fellas found the way to make a ferrary look like crap, its embarassing even to look at them.\n\nAnyway, 99.999% of really young women dating older men are after only one thing... money. I may sound old-fashioned, but look for a woman around your age, at your experience level, you deserve someone to share your life with, not to drain your bank account.

He was born in 1956, so that makes him 50.\n\nWow.  I had no idea he was that old until I looked him up.

I'm married to one!  :)  \n\nHe's 10 years older than me.  Many of my friends are married to men who are 10 or 20 years older.  I'd say that between 10 to 20 year age difference isn't as much when we are more mature.  So a woman 30 years old would seriously consider a 50 year old man.  Especially if he's financially secure (not wealthy but stable) and willing to have a family---ready made (e.g., she already has children) or kids together.

Why is he still single (unmarried) at 43? Why do you always have to start the discussion about moving in together? Why did he make that remark?\n\nI think you are right to wonder about his commitment to the relationship. But don't overreact - take it easy. I may be wrong!
