Would you date a widow, if they asked you out?

Question

Widow or widower.

DarkCarousel · Accepted Answer

I have dated a widower— he was very loving and his children are wonderful. Although he still grieved the loss, I never felt for a second that he didn’t love me. And I felt a sense of love that his wife existed because of who their children were and how she loved him.

I’m also the daughter of a widower. My father is newly engaged to an incredible person. I gained a new perspective when they got together— my father will always love my mother and miss her but now he also has love for another woman. It is not a comparison by any means; it’s continuing on through life and having the blessing of loving another person in your lifetime.

It can be hard to compete. I dated a guy who was mid twenties and his girlfriend died when he was 15… he was STILL pining after her. (Which should’ve been a red flag that I was in highschool when he asked me out 💀 he was def a pedo) but while I was in the relationship I did learn. He constantly talked about her, how perfect she was, and I always felt like it didn’t matter what I did that he’d never love me anywhere near that.

At my age, women do not ask me out; that is simply not done by my generation. I have dated a few widows, but the relationships never progressed very far. The last time I dated a widow, we started dating in December. I sent her a dozen red roses on Valentine's Day with an affectionate - not sexual - message, and she freaked out. Her husband had been dead for 10 years and she was STILL not ready to move forward.

Also, you do want to make sure that her husband didn't die "under mysterious circumstance!" :) :) :)

Marriages can end sooner than expected. It is a fact of life. Some people get divorced. Other people have a spouse pass away. I would not have a problem with dating a widow.

NathanDavis · Answer

whether or not I date someone... would be weird to decide it based on whether or not they've buried someone, lol

Someone who's proven she can commit and is single through no fault of her own? Yes.
