No friend, it's not too late. I was in my 40s when I was married for the first time. We are still amazed that we found each other at this age. So don't give up if you feel God has someone out there for you.

I'm 44 and also still waiting. Not spending much energy looking though. There's too much other life to be lived. If it happens, it will happen.

Don't lose hope. The lady who used to live down the road from me when I was a kid retired as a nun. Got married for the first time in her nearly seventies. She moved into society, bought a house and married her next door neighbour who was a widow in his seventies. You just never know what surprises life will bring.

I found out my high school biology teacher, who likely now is in her 70s, recently married (or remarried).

It is not too late just as long as you are actively searching for her. Glad to have you onboard with us. Welcome to CC.

God will give you the desires of your heart. May have to move out of your comfort zone to find what or whom you are looking for. I think some are waiting for God to throw them into your lap. Not saying you are, but some yes.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure what to do. Do dating sites? Go out to clubs? Join a gym? I’d be willing to do what it takes. Just don’t understand what that is. People say let god tell you. But I haven’t heard anything.

Well I have had a few try and set me up on blind dates. That was years back. I just started dating myself. Pray about it and try a Christian dating site. Plus on facebook sometimes local churches have single get togethers, dances etc. I personally don't do bars or clubs. I know from past experience never found someone in those places that wanted a long relationship.I am not sure about gym's. I workout at home myself. I am finding it is ok to go to other peoples events by myself and then meet people. I always pray for God's guidance.

I have had God warning me,not to go out with someone. I didn't listen learned the hard way. But I have not been dating for long. I am divorced and atm do not feel the need to push. I used to think that was all I needed to make me content and feel loved. When in fact God was there to give me what I needed. Now is more of companionship or just the want to get out and enjoy life. Can do on a date or with family or a friend. I prayed awhile back to have God send me some friends to do things with. He has not disappointed me. But I know I had to reach out more myself. That was my comfort zone to sit home and complain noone wanted to do anything. But I myself had to reach out also. I will keep you in prayer that you may find some companionship and get out more and find someone special in your life,
