Ok everyone one this is for all of you. Do you think a fifty three year old woman, who is young at heart and actions can really, and truly fall in love. I mean an end all be all true to the bottom of your heart love. Not a physcial , or at least not only physcial love. I have been on my own and raised my three kids on my own and now I am finding that I have fallen hopelessly in love. Yes he loves me too lol. I have known this man for twenty three years, always liked and respected and he was my friend. He is a very very shy man and has always been a bit special to me as in I would always let him hug me, just a hug, when I certainly wouldn't let other people in the same situation hug me. But that was because it was exactly what it was, he wanted a hug, nothing more nothing less. I respected him because he didn't hit on me lol. Well some how some way things changed and he got his nerve up and told me he has cared about me all these years of course that was after he got his nerve up with a couple of drinks lol. He is a wonderful man, hard worker, honest, reliable, almost innocent in a lot of ways, knows my kids and likes and gets along with them. Suddenly I realized I loved this man. well things are progressing along, I keep them slow because I was afraid of lossing a really good friend. Now I realize this is true love on both parts. I am amazed. Do you believe in true love. I know I didn't, guess I got disalotioned a long time ago. But I feel in my heart and soul that he loves me from the bottom of his heart. He has let me know that it has only been me in his heart all these years but he didn't think he had a chance. lol.This can be scary at times but I know he would never ever hurt me if he could do anything to prevent it. There is still a small part of me that says back away, get out while you still can. But all of the rest of me wants to be adored the way he adores me. Help folks , what do I do plant my feet and grow , or run like H**l . What a feeling to love and be loved. I woould love to hear everyones opionion , good or bad. Thanks for letting me get this off my mind. You people are the greatest.

Hallo Lady! First of all I congratulate you for your new found love. There no age limit when it comes to love. I have a true and real story where a 68 year old woman fell deeply in love with a man who was taking care of her when she was sick and they married each other. People tried talking ill of this odd couple but they turned blind ears to every gossip and their love triumphed. And guess what age the man was??? 25 years and his mother was 48. It was all over the media 3 years ago and as we speak they are living happily married. So My friend citygirl, dont listen to people's opinion go a head and do what your heart yearns for. If both of you love each other, then not even the kids will separate you. My mother is exactly your age and widowed and if she comes home one day and says she is in love............I will hug her tight and tell her...........GO GO GO, GIRL.......introduce me to your boyfriend......hehehheeeeeee. Congratulations dear.

Of course! Falling in love is loving for life. It doesn't age!
Wow! I would love to have such a good feeling when I get your age.
Thank you for sharing this piece. I know that when I choose to whom I give my love, I will still savor it even after 50 years.
Spread the love!

Yes of course! There is no age limit in love. Even 60, 70 year old can feel and experience true love.
I guess you are lucky to have that man in your life. You know him so well and she knows you as well. It is good that you started out as friends. I know that good friends / best friends can be great lovers. So, what are you waiting for....

Thanks Joyce, guess I am just a little scare, and scared of ending a good and long friendship, should something go wrong lol.I am very lucky to have this man in my life. Now that it is more out in the open with him, he lets me know every day, and every chance he gets that he adores me. I guess I find that a little scary, as I have done everything my self all my life and counted on no one lol. Just such a strange , new feeling that I don't know how to deal with it. Guess I am confused as I am not used to being treated like some kind of treasure lol. A nice but very scary and confussing feeling. Kind of like being on a pedistal . As we all know the only way off a pedistal is to fall off lol. Thanks for the support and encouragement.

Hello friend. Age is not a problem at all. People at different ages have the right to choose their love and there is no need to feel shy about that. I hope that you will be bold enough to let him know that you love him and that you are happy to accept him. Wish you the best, dear citygirl.

Thanks for the support. I guess the self preservation in me has been undecided weither to keep going forward, or turn tail and run lol. So used to being the strong one that has to do it all, and just not used to being adored. Guess that is what scares me. Now that feelings are more out in the open or I or we have become more aware of them being adored is a scaring feeling lol Thanks again.
