The Ultimate "Never Too Late for Love" Story

Posted by Leticia, 29 Oct

James and Geraldine had lived long lives—let’s just say both are eligible for senior-citizen discounts—but found themselves single and looking for love.  Loneliness drove Geraldine, a retired Texan, to join our site.  James, a farmer in Iowa, signed up because he saw that there were “a number of available women, and pretty ones!”

Many couples admit that, at the outset, they weren’t confident online dating would bring them the love they sought.  But these two, despite growing up in a world without personal computers, much less the Internet, had a good feeling about it right from the start.  “I felt that the one for me was on this site,” Geraldine says.  James agrees.  “I felt positive I would find someone.”

James was a member for five months and Geraldine for five weeks before their paths crossed.  She viewed his profile and was struck by his stoic charisma.  Geraldine elaborates, “I was impressed with his overalls and his smile.”

James saw that an attractive woman in his age range had checked him out.  So he looked her up.  “I liked her profile… her smile and puppy-dog brown eyes,” he recalls.

They whiled away pleasant hours on the phone, joking around and getting to know each other.  Their passions in life were similar: religion, politics, dancing.  But there is one common interest they have yet to share.  “We like bowling, but we have not been able to find open lanes yet,” James laments.

The road to romance was bumpy at first.  On the evening of their first date, the moon and stars were not in evidence and between the darkness and Geraldine’s GPS device, fate conspired to delay her.  She arrived much later than expected.  “I was hooked to the point of driving 1250 miles, due to a TomTom error, to meet him in person!” She says.

“I was pacing the floor until she came,” James chimes in.  Geraldine might have arrived frustrated, but she left with the certainty that her long journey was not in vain.  “I was sure we were a match,” she says.  “And we continued to see each other…”

At this stage of his life, James prefers to speak the unvarnished truth.  Geraldine appreciated his candor about his intentions for dating.  James says, “I told her I wouldn’t string her along.  Either I would marry a woman or dump her.”

Well, he sure didn’t dump her.  One day, the couple went out on a normal outing.  “I took her to the jewelry store and it was closed on Monday, but the owner happened to be in the building and let us in.”

Just like that, they were picking out engagement rings.  “I am marrying my Jim and can hardly wait,” Geraldine laughs.  “He considers my every feeling before he does anything.  He is the joy of my life even though we are in our senior years.”

James dotes on Geraldine and fixes breakfast for her every day.  It sure doesn't feel like work.  “We’re acting like 20-year old kids, kissing in public,” he says.  “Gerri and I get along great.  I am as happy as I have been in years.  I grin like an old possum all of the time!”

With their accumulated life experience filtered through the joy of an autumn romance, both James and Geraldine have wisdom to share with singles still looking.  “Be truthful with the people you meet,” she advises.  “Don’t try to change anyone to make them what you want them to be.”

“Life is nothing but a speck in time,” James says.  “Take it from someone who is over 70 years old.  A person is non-reloadable.  Don’t play games.”

    I just turned 60 and hope with all my heart that isn't too late for me. Sometimes I feel that I am too strong in my profile but I don't want any misunderstandings, just true friendship, companionship, and love...in that order.

    Happy Easter to you all. Some of us have been members for a long time but havent met the right one yet. I had Chats with very nice women here but the Luck of Patience from one side could not keep the Conversation going. It doesnt take only one Partner to Sacrifice during the Dating period. Most Women want Men who have a stable or permanent Job at the same time ask for First Meeting after a few Days of talking which was Impossible because my holidays were not near. This was a Problem. What will be your reaction in such a Situation.

    Such a beautiful story . I am so extremely happy for them. It goes to show the mature side of men and women. I know one day i will have a story just as blissful to tell. I thought i had the greatest story and then it got erased. I sometimes get lonely but i continue to seek God and wait for him to allow the right person to find me, My parents have passed on and will never see me walk down the isle but with the inspiration from these two i know my day will come. God bless you both

    This story and many others inspired me so much. I believe in true love and destiny. If only we can throw away our old baggage and come clean we could be able to be happy again. I am just picking my pieces of self. Just met a nice and truthful guy on this site last month and we just click like magic . We had chemistry and many things in common. We whatsaap , Skype calls and phone calls. As the burning fire gets closer he booked for a flight to visit me from US to Germany this May ending and we promise to hold on searching until after meeting then we could decide on next level. Because am an ardent reader of successful stories in this site I kept logging in reading and some time shares the stories with him until someone sent me a friendship request began to ask flirt and out of curiosity I answered him but never told him am hoping to meet a member soon . After a day thereafter my first guy block me off and told me that he sent a friend to flirt on me that what i did was cheating in a way that he told me that his ex wife cheated on him that was why he left. That he has cancelled his flight and no more visiting and he deleted all his contact without giving me chance to explain. Rather the imposter friend of his wrote me detecting how I should not contact the guy again , that he has asked him not to see me cancel his flight etc. Then after a day the real guy sent me a message apologizing saying that the extent we were that I didn't deserve that harsh messages from his friend , though everything is over that his friend has advice him not to see me inoder not to hurt us more. It really shattered my life and was down for complete 3days not knowing what to do . We were so much into each other and honestly he is my dream man but as luck may have it he left me. It gives me a lot pain and feel like I betrayed his trust but honestly I never meant to hurt him . I hope my dream man will come and I believe if ever he is meant to be mine it shall come to pass. I guess I have learnt my lesson in a hard way. Ladies beware!!!!

    At first i was mistaken to think that old people are mature enough not to break other people' hearts until someone broke mine. Of late i flirted with a 71yr old man who dumped me without realising how hurt i would be.we chatted lovingly and i enjoyed it hoping i had found him. Are these stories real ?
