I need advice about a friend and potential love?

Question

She is 48, a little overweight, and has lots of medical problems. The worst part is that she hasn't dated for like 15 years and she only lives with her pets. Personally I believe that anyone can find love. What do you think we have to do to convince her to go out. I think online dating would be good for her. I just feel really uncomfortable broaching the topic with her. She has this idea that she missed her chance to get married but I don't believe that there is a time period in which marriage occurs. Any ideas. I just want to see her happy.

Answer 1

yes you are right.convince her the benifts of living together. it is just possible that she might had some poor experience.tell her, once one poor exp. does not mean that always she will have poor exp.

Answer 2

maybe she's happy

Answer 3

When you guys are on the subject, you just bring it up and say "you could always try online dating."  If you really think that will help her, then that's a good idea.  Also if you guys want to go out somewhere, you can introduce her to some people to make her feel more comfortable around guys.  Her man will come at the right time.  

Answer 4

You really can't make her date.  There isn't much you can really do if she's not willing to go along with what you want for her.  She wants her life as it is.  If she's not complaining, it's not up to you to decide she's living her life wrong.  What is right for you isn't always what's right for other people.  You say you only want to see her happy.  How do you know she isn't?  Maybe you wouldn't be happy in her shoes, but you can't make assumptions about people by what you would want.
