It's more difficult, but it can be done. With the divorce rate being so high there are eligible women and men out there. Unfortunately, it's difficult to figure out which ones are married or not. You could join a good Singles Club (check it out and their rate of success and interview them!) Don't settle for the first one. Let your friends know that you are on the lonely side and there is nothing to say you have to date someone you don't care for that your friends may want to set you up with. 45 isn't all that old. Sometimes cruises are a good place to meet the opposite sex, but again, you have to be careful there and be sure the person is on the up and up. I met my second husband (I was 28 and he was nearly 4 years younger) through a male friend of mine and we've been married for 35 years. Even at the age of 28 and being a female I found it difficult to get back into the dating game and some men feel that divorced women have uncontrollable hormones with 'need to have it' plastered on their foreheads. Of course this untrue and I was looking for a meaningful relationship. I began to think I would never have the opportunity to meet and marry again, but I didn't give up. I've known people who have gotten married at 50 plus and are as happy as can be. Don't give up!
