Onebgg ... At 60, I've seen many people become single again, mostly thru divorce and now more so thru being widowed. Some process their loss within a year and move on, and others hang on to their grief for a long time. Some get remarried quickly, some are single for a long time before meeting "the right person", and others decide they're quite content living alone. As for myself, I figure to never marry, but I would consider it with "the right woman" .. someone who would be fun and interesting and pleasant to live with. So there's really no way to know what will happen to us singles in the long run .. it makes life interesting for a lot of us to think that someone special might be just around the corner.
That's my 2 cents on that subject ... <g>
