Single Boomers Back In The Swing

The talk is familiar. The girls chat about their clothes. They giggle. They roll their eyes about bum boyfriends, men who are scared to get too close. Then the band starts and they are on the dance floor in a big group, girls dancing with girls. The boys are late. When they arrive they sit and watch, act aloof. Perhaps they may get out and dance after a little bit of bottled courage. Of course, there are only a few compared to the 20-plus women. A typical night in a Spokane bar, where singles are looking for fun and perhaps a date and, if they are really fortunate, maybe a relationship. But this isn’t the young; the group gathered a couple weeks ago at Gibliano Brothers Piano Bar are baby boomers, singles in their 50s and 60s. The online social networking site Meetup.com brought them together as part of the group New Beginnings for Single Boomers/ Erica Curless , SR. More here .

Question: If you found yourself single as a Baby Boomer, would you date again?
