Meeting People Over 50 and My Sister Evie

Evie is a real firecracker at 52. She looks 40 and has a great figure despite her three kids. Meeting people over 50 is a good idea.

Honestly, I can't watch anymore. She has been without a partner for seven years. Just three real losers who caused her a lot of heartache. Each one a bigger disaster than the last. Right now she seriously doubts whether meeting people over 50 can even happen.

I am still of the opinion that every pot finds its lid, even past 50. I would say 50 is the new 40. At 50 you have a darn good time ahead of you.

I am slowly getting the feeling that my sister has really resigned herself and no longer looks left or right. There has to be a partner out there for my wonderful sister, right?

meeting people over 50 and a really tough nut to crack

All attempts to get Evie to try a dating site failed. She took the advice neither from me nor from our mutual friends. I was slowly giving up. Then I had a dream. I woke up in the morning and thought: "a sign from fate".

In the dream I proposed a bet to Evie: "Bet you'll be in a happy relationship within a year if you go on a dating site?" If not, I'd pay for a spa weekend for her at a nice resort with all the bells and whistles.

I put the proposal to her right away. She had a good laugh and shook on it. The bet is on and the countdown is running!

meeting people over 50 and giving up was not an option!

Giving up is not in my vocabulary, because I was born under the sign of Aries and have Aries rising as well. Double is better, the good Lord must have thought!

The bet included that she be perfectly signed up within seven days. That is, with at least three photos and a properly filled-out profile. It worked, and I was gradually getting nervous, because the first four months were really not easy.

She got lots of messages. She wrote with seven men without success. No date came about. Meeting people over 50 might be difficult after all. But we were all proven wrong. Patience paid off.

He came, he saw, he conquered! Tom took her heart by storm. It went incredibly fast. A few messages, a few phone calls and about ten dates later, they were a happy couple.

There was no material payoff for my bet. And yet I was rewarded! My sister was and is overjoyed. That is what counts. Because you only see well with your heart. Meeting people over 50 always deserves a chance, even if it takes a little longer!
