I think one can love at any age so falling in love shouldn't be difficult. Old people especially love pets if they're single. So every so often they'll fall in love with a pet (not sexually) and keep it. The process is still to fall in love or to begin loving something else.
I did.
Recently. To someone certainly younger.
I met someone who absolutely checked off all the boxes, we met in a camp where we both worked together. It was an instant connection, both of us.
We went for walks, talked for hours each time, ate together, went on some epic dates (one in the video below) She would call me all the time, message me on snap, I don't think a day went by we didn't talk to each other.
We were kind of the camp clowns, she was able to keep up and even best my shenanigans and jokes, we got in trouble a couple times by the people in charge, it didn't matter. It was fun, exciting, she gave me a reason to go to work every day.
We got 99% of the way there, and nothing I could do would ' close the deal ' as it were. I thought wow, she's really holding back, absolutely 100% much more than friends.
Then one day, she was off to see a friend, 4 hours away and didn't even stop in my town.
Someone she was staying with for 10 days. I knew it was another guy, a tattooed douchecanoe the worst kind there is.
We went to war.
She begged not to lose me, cried her eyes out on video chat. We said our peace, continued on.
A month after she told me she's got one of those accounts people subscribe monthly to. At this point she had held that back for over 4 months, unwilling to tell me.
Of course I had a look, beautiful, exactly as i imagined.
But meh.
My interest has fallen off the planet.
We talk a couple times a day, I tried to pretend it wasn't her, just someone who ' looked ' like her.
I couldn't do it. Deleted that account, didn't really look back.
The chase was a lot better than the capture.
But we did have some great times, and thats what I'll remember her for.
We are at different locations now, so its really only a chat now and then.
I think I checked off her boxes too, but I can't tell.
I hate my job now, without her there there is zero fun. Its just a 2 week in grind and checking off the calendar until i escape.
Anyways, here is the video i put together. And yes, I am over 30 to answer Elizabeths question. Not dead though.
