I am 57 years old and have been divorced for 16 years. I'm a well-educated career woman and very nice looking. However, finding a potential mate has been nearly impossible. Finally, in the fall of last year I met the most wonderfully perfect man for me. We just clicked in every way. We had only 4 months together when he was diagnosed with prostrate cancer. He is 61 and told me he could no longer have a relationship because (1) he had to deal with illness, (2) he would never return as half a man, and (3) he wanted no support, but said he would walk this road alone. He did walk away. We no longer talk, except for a brief business-like email once in awhile. Its been 3 months since he walked away for cancer. I still love him. Do I sit and hope he'll be cured? It took 16 years to find him, how will I ever find another man at age 57? I've tried dating sites and when you meet it's like a job interview. Within 10 minutes either they like you or they don't. It is quite shallow. Do you think this perfect man for me will return?
