To want to meet someone as a 65+

My partner died a couple of years ago and lately I've felt that I really just want to meet someone. To feel special to someone and vice versa, to make someone else feel special. I don't really feel my age but realise that time is getting short and I'd like someone to share things with again. I do have family and friends but it's not the same. Not sure how to go about it anyway and maybe the whole idea is ridiculous at my age. Perhaps I'm just feeling a bit sad at Christmas but it keeps coming into my mind.

Not ridiculous OP. My friend's mum met her partner at Rotary meetings when she was your age.

My aunt went on a ski trip and met a man there. Now they’re dating. She’s 72! 🙂
