Lonely senior singles

People can arrive at this destination in a number of ways; the loneliness can occur because may be a person has gone through a separation or sadly lost a partner earlier in their lives. They do not always wish to re-open the wounds by allowing someone into their life again. They arrive at being singles only due to not wishing to find a person.

There are seniors who have probably never married throughout their lives and are just single through the passing time , so they have remained single all the time and are now deemed as a member of the senior singles group.
Then there are people that are truly lonely and have searched for love but have never discovered it and so are classed also as single.

So, is it really that bad to belong to the singles group? This depends wholly on your character, if you are friendly and are not anxious to meet with new people then you will deal with your being alone position well. If however you are shy , and find it difficult to meet new people you might find it difficult to agree with the single label that you seem to of been presented with.
