no - you don't give up on love but you do accept that the way its packaged may need to be changed.

Have you tried online dating sites? There are some good ones out there that you can join and set your search to men who want a woman 50+.

I don't know about *putting out* on the first date but my SO and I had sex on our second date. We had spent the whole day together and slept together that night. While that may not work for some and was not my *norm* with dating, it did work out in this case. We had chemistry from the first moment we met face to face.

I don't think you have to change your ways or feelings about sex. If a man you are dating doesn't respect your feelings about intimacy then he's not the right guy for you.

I don't know if it's the "norm" or not, but I can tell you that I've dated plenty of men in our age group who were FINE with waiting more than 4 dates!
