In the U.S., approximately 27% of adults aged 60 and older live alone. Within this group, women are more likely than men to live by themselves (20% vs. 11%).
Living solo can be a positive experience for many people: You can watch what you want on TV, come and go as you please, and make all the big decisions that impact your life. The lack of a partner does not mean you are “missing out. “
But there may come a time when you are interested in dating. Not only can the pursuit of a new romance feel exhilarating; it offers real benefits for your health and well-being, too.
