Are you ever to old to fall in love

The usual reply is: the love has no age. You can meet your love as a teen or as a very mature person. But actually for some things we are genetically too old...if we want for example to has baby if the woman is 50... Of course, there are exceptions of the rules.

I was 39 yrs old, I had never been married or had any children. I had a great job and was making good money. I owned my own house, a nice car and everything I could want except a decent relationship. Too many bad ones in a row. I met this guy on the internet and he lived about 2 hrs away. We spent every weekend together for months and things were moving forward. One day I was up at his place talking on the phone to my mom and needed to write down a phone number she gave me but I couldn't find a pencil so I got into his desk and found one. After I got off the phone I went to put the pencil back and there's a piece of paper sitting there that stunned me. It was a paycheck stub from his work. I found out that he had been lying to me since we met. He lied about where he worked and how much he was making. It was less than half of what he told me. I didn't care about the money but I was devastated that he lied to me. So after I pinned him down and got the truth, I found out about several other things he had lied about. Well that was the end of that relationship. I was really shook to the bone, I thought I'd met Mr. Right and only got Mr. Liar. Just one more in a long line. I decided to just give up on men for a while. So I found a really nice penpal site online. It was legit, it was not a site for romance or chatrooms nothing like that just penpals from all over the world. So I put up a profile. The next day I get an e-mail from a guy who lived about 5 hours away. He was really nice but to say the least I was very wary. We talked online almost every day for 3 months and a couple of times on the phone. I really liked this guy alot, we had a lot in common and he was such a gentleman. So we finally decided to meet. He had some vacation time and so did I so he said he'd drive up here. I had a spare room and I TOLD him that's where he'd be staying. This was not a romantic meeting, just to see if we got along in person like we did online. He agreed. I made sure I had several friends who knew about it and drove by and called me every couple of hours. We had a code set up in case of a problem. I was VERY careful. He pulled up behind the garage and I couldn't see him yet. I was standing at the door waiting for him to come around the corner. When he rounded the corner, the first thing that came into my head was "This is the man I'm going to spend the rest of my life with". I had no doubts whatsoever. He smiled at me at I was in love. He told me later he felt the exact same way. We took it slow, we spent the next several months travelling back and forth before we decided he should move into my house. That was over 8 yrs ago and we are still very happy together. We've been thru a lot of hard times and a lot of good times and we handled it all. I love him more today than ever and we still act like a couple of newlyweds. He is wonderful. I sure wish I had met him 20 yrs ago but I'm grateful for every day together.

It doesn't matter what age you are. A person can fall in love at any age. I think it's really great that you have found someone that you can have strong feelings for. So stop worrying about age and all of that falderol! You just enjoy those feelings and the happiness that comes along with them hon.

love knows no age........ we just always have to stay young at heart

nope, i wasn't ever told to fall in love..for me, as long as you have feelings with that person and he also have the same feelings, that's when the time youre really loving each other.. i don't care a man if i don't in love with him..you can't say that if you care but you dont have love..if you care theres a big possibility that you also have love to that person..

Hello RobinJ! I don't think that love has any kind of restrictions. Either you are or you are not. However, when you said, "whom I care for but am not in love with", to me means either you are great friends and you are not looking for love and wish for it to stay just great friends, or, that you are being careful right now and are starting out as friends and will see where it goes from there. Any way you look at it, being in love and falling in love is a wonderful thing!

No one is ever too old to fall in love. Love happens at all ages, in many different ways, under many different sets of circumstances, and for many many different reasons. If it's true love, go for it. There is no age restriction on love.

I think love has no age or no frontier You are never too old, too fat, too stupid, too rich, too self-sufficient, too far away nor too busy to fall in love ... the onlt thing is to invit love to come in when he knocks at the door ...

Robin, the old saying "You are never too old to fall in love", is so true. Being "mature" has nothing to do with falling in love. Since your relationship with this wonderful man, you have found out that you can still have those kinds of feelings, so it has been a positive thing for you. I understand your feelings about having a long-distance relationship, but don't put any limits on your feelings. Just go with the flow and see where it takes you - you can still remain friends if that's all you want, but you know now because of him, that it's possible for you to love again - perhaps you WILL find someone closer to home. Go for it girl - you have a lot of living (and loving) to do yet!

I think that despite your age,one is capable of experiencing all kinds of feelings at any given point of life and situation.Just as we don't cease to experience the feelings of anger,happiness,sadness,etc,similarly the feeling of love too can be experienced at any age.But ofcourse our priorities change with time and age and when older we often tend to ignore such feelings,for which,reasons may vary from person to person.

there should not be a maximum age to fall in love. just keep looking for the right one. i'm always a supporter.

Hi,Robin. So nice to know that you will be ready to look for your love again, and I think you will find one soon. I really should learn from you about this. Everyone has right and feeling to love or be loved,no matter how old he or she is. If you have this feeling, it's good thing. Go ahead, and good luck!

No ones really old to fall in love. Love doesn't have age limits, it doesn't set conditions also. Everyone are free to fall in love. Have a nice day!

There is no such thing as being old in falling in love. One can fall in love at any age, whether young or old. I think being in the right time, right place and right situation, these are factors that are important. I knew a story of my grandma's friend. She met a guy back when she was in her teenage years. She fell in love with this guy. The problem is she was from a rich chinese family. Back then chinese traditions are strictly followed. The family will be the one to choose your partner especially if you're a girl. But the poor guy is not chinese and he is not even rich. They started to see each other secretly for quite some time, but when the girl's family discovered about it they have the guy kidnapped and he brought him to another place. Then the girl married a guy as instructued by her family. This girl had children with his husband. The girl became a widow at the age 60. When she was 65 she again met the guy she met when she was in her teenage year. Apparently, he was sent by her family to another island. She discovered that the guy never love anyone after her and promised to wait for her. Even at old age they still continued to love each other.

I don't believe anyone is ever to old to fall in love . Look at couples who have been together for years and then something tragic happens to the one they were with . After a period of mourning these individuals have been able to move on and find love in their lives again and not because they were not deeply in love the first time around but because there is love out there for everyone . When one hasn't found love yet in their life it is because they have just not found it yet but it doesn't mean they should ever give up on finding thier true love .

I think anybody can fall in love at any time and at any age. There's someone out there for you =)

Hello Robinj,I can say that I got married for the first time at 16, that marriage lasted for 30 years and I did wonder if there would ever be anyone I could love again, friendship cam along and still I wondered but as time passed it grew into love ans now i am happily married once again.

See that's the thing, we put limits and ages on stuff. Come on, your heart still beats and you still feel things, probably not like when you were young, but your still on the planet. So to me, NO, Love has no bounds, age limits or anything. I don't know how you met this man or whatever, but seems to me you only met him, give him a try for now.

love chooses no age nor time. :) people love at different stages, circumstances and in different levels. "falling in love" may not always be the appropriate term to use for the feeling when you are starting to feel more than casual friendliness towards another person. but loving is caring deeply, and everyone has the potential to be able to feel this way or be this way to another... no matter what age we are in. :) goodluck!

I am sure you can fall in love in every age.The love is great thing and it's about your feelings and they are in every age.I hope you will find the right man for you out there.It 's so nice to have someone to share and live with.
