Today’s Straits Times carries a few articles which are very close to my heart. They are articles on "Looking for Mr Right", "Single in Singapore", "Jumping in early" and ways to meet people. I have always believed that having a partner and sharing our lives together, till death do us part is just as desired as the 5C’s or 6c’s that some of us search for all our lives.<\/p>\n
I am also a believer that the older we are, especially when we are over 45, having a partner to share our joy, our sadness, our activities and hobbies, and our quiet moments, having someone to talk to, hug and kiss, and cry can be a nice experience. Even though, these experiences may be the second or third time.<\/p>\n
Although, in the articles, the focus was on the under 22s, the 29s and the early 30s, the objective is still the same for all ages; finding someone to be together for the rest of our lives. There will always be some among us that will always challenge "why the need to", because they have good money, have got used to being single and enjoying their lives or they may have been pained at some stage. But let’s not discourage the friends around us who may have been lonely for many years. Living through our SilverHairs years can be lonely and painful. We just have to find ways to overcome the journey ahead.<\/p>\n
So, again, let’s help our single friends around us. Dont, just go out alone with other singles. Bring your friends along, introduce them and make that little effort. Be positive, be encouraging and be active. Be active and you will be seen.<\/p>\n
If you have positive thoughts, positive ideas and encouraging words, do share with us here on this forum. <\/p>\n
