Suzanne Noble shares stories of people in their 80s and 90s finding partners, and reflects on her own contentment being single while open to companionship. She argues it's possible to find love at any age.
If there's anything that I've learned at this age and from speaking to my friends is that there is no cutoff point when it comes to finding somebody with whom you're compatible and you can have a relationship with. Recently, my friend's mother met somebody who's in his 90s and she's in her 80s, her late 80s, and they've gotten together and they're incredibly happy. And similarly, my own parents have a friend who, after his wife died, went online and met somebody with whom he is now remarried, and he is also in his 90s and she's in her late 80s. So for those of you who think that you're past it, if you do wanna have a relationship, and I know that maybe in the future I would like to meet somebody that who I could kind of, quote, settle down with without having to sleep in the same bed with them or preferably live in the same house as well, But if there was somebody out there that I thought that I could get along with, then perhaps I would want that sort of thing too. At the moment, I'm really happy in my single-ish state, so that's fine. But I suspect that there's a lot of people out there who just think, no, it's not going to happen for me. And let me tell you, you can meet somebody with whom you can fall in love and have a long-lasting relationship at any time in your life if you want to.
