I was just wondering if I am the oldest one here, or if there are other senior citizens who are spending their golden years in a LDR. It would be interesting to compare notes and see what issues pop up that younger couples don't have.

We've had a few 60+ members here, one is a regular, but others tend to fade away as the forum is mostly teens and 20-somethings. It can be hard to relate sometimes. Welcome though, stick around, this place could use the diversity.Our separation of each other is an optical illusion of consciousness. ~Albert Einstein

Although I'm not a senior citizen yet, I am older; I'm 47, and my SO is in his 50's. I think older folks do have a different take on LDR's. We also have more experience in life in general. I love reading the stories from all ages, though. I think we can all learn from one another. I love that we can all share what we do have in common - long distance love.

I wonder what is the public perception for older people in LDRs? I hope I am not being rude, but I know it is hard sometimes for me and people from my generation and even younger, despite us being quite used to (or in some cases grew up with) Internet and social media. And even though I try to surround myself with positive people I still get the odd look and the skeptical comment ...

I will be hitting the big 50 this year.....so although not technically a senior, I will be a card carrying member of AARP. Wish I could say my SO was a senior.....but he's only 40! Lol.sigpic
I love him. Forever. And every day after that.

My SO is 56 and I'm 40. So yeah, we could be living in one of those active adult communities.
When we love, it isn't because the person's perfect, it's because we learn to see an imperfect person perfectly.
True love does not worry about the distance between, for the heart and soul travels through one's words
When two people are meant for each other, no time is too long, no distance is too far, and no one can ever tear them apart.
1 universe, 9 planets, 7 continents, 194 countries, 50 states and 10 provinces...and I had the privilege to meet you.

I for one am happy to have you all here, I value all the advice and feedback I get on this forum but sometimes it is nice to have someone with more general life experience's view on things because they may be able to see a little further in the distance than I can!
So... thank you ladies!

Well Im 58 and my SO is 56. Weve dated in the past but now is different. H started searching for me several years ago as we had lost touch and found me last year. Were both from WV but right now he is in Texas for a while. He plans to move here when he can. Right now finances keep us apart as well as me taking care of my mom. Im glad to know Im not the only older woman here also. Lots of chemistry here. I didnt expect to find all this at 57-58!
