Hi Valentina, I'm 49 and single too. I miss the start of relationships when it is so euphoric but i don't miss the rest, when you get bored with the person and everything they say is an irritant. I'm lonely too but since i gained weight the only kind of guys who will look at me are real unappealing.

The other day a man sat down beside me at a mall. He was the appropriate age and i knew he was going to say something to me. There was escalator repair work going on near us and he said, "Boy, can you ever smell the grease." Wha? THAT'S HIS LINE? 'It stinks.' Wow, what a charmless lout. I moved away.
