I like this question. I'm 55 and have been single since '93...and have never been happier, or come so far as I have in the past 16 years. Still, I can't help but wonder...what it would be like to find that special man?

I don't think there's anything wrong with living life for yourself (and your cat). But I'm curious too, and certainly open to debate. At this fresh new stage of our lives, should we be looking to reconnect in a relationship? Is the grass really greener on the other side?
