Oh absolutely there is no need to be forever single! A friend of mine is 63 and she recently met a nice widower and they are out and about enjoying their life.

Even celebrities not always in a rush. Deana Keaton has never been married, she said “just because I have never been married it doesn’t mean I have less of a life”. Exactly. She adopted two kids at age 50, single adoption. And Helen Mirren married her first time at 52 and she never actually wanted to be married.

So I’ll say if they are ok with how things play out, then we are all fine

I’d say sometimes having a busy social life with friends and having hobbies could keep us from dating and settling out of boredom! So do get out more!! Glad you have a nice friend
Thanks Divine. I agree with all that you said. I just need to stop being afraid. And I know I should spend more time with friends in general. I was more so before the pandemic hit.
