Why would a religious virgin in her late 50s still think about having kids and getting married?

There is this woman of 58 years old on another website I frequent and she lives in the deep South of the States.
She is very religious and she has remained a virgin her entire life. She has recently gotten into a relationship with a mechanic who never has time for her so she never sees him.
The other day she started talking about her getting married and having kids. She was serious and not joking.

I wonder if this person is so naive that she doesn’t realise that she’s way too old to fulfill her dreams or if she thinks religion will miraculously help her get pregnant at her age, or yet another possibility: that she has not gone through menopause yet and is still fertile?

IDK, I went on a date last week with a 60 year old woman who talked (at length) about being ready to have children. I thought she meant adopt, but she made it clear she was expecting to bear them. I suppose its just possible she still menstruates (I didnt feel I could ask, on a first date), but I think it's more an essential failure of sex education.

Yeah I was doubting whether she was just not in her right mind or whether she was poorly educated due to having been raised in a very religious environment ( the deep South ). Also the way she calls herself a girl when she’s a 58 year old woman of retirement age, the way she calls her date a boyfriend. I mean what nearly 60 year old would call their date a boyfriend or girlfriend as if they were still teenagers in the prime of their lives? The fact that she thinks she has enough time left to start a family. I honestly wonder what’s going on with that woman. She only recently got her GED. Why would an almost 60 year old still want a highschool diploma? I mean, who would hire someone that old? @firefall

@MarieJaneWatson :p~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ on the hiring (he says at age 61)
but, yeah, I guess a GED would just be a sense of self-satisfaction, finally getting something she missed out on. The rest of it does seem deeply delusional, I agree

I wonder if she truly thinks she could do something with her GED. From all the posts I have read from her, she makes it clear that she is not aware that she isn’t young anymore. She talks as if she is a 20-something spring chicken that has time enough to do whatever she wants in her life. I mean, a 60 year old or a 58 year old is pretty conscious of the fact that their lives are over for the biggest part I would think? I mean I’m 23 and I already feel too old for certain things some days. Let alone someone who is actually quite old. I feel sorry for her. Recently I was reading her requirements about dating someone. She wants someone who is muscular, financially secure and handsome and he needs to be a Christian like herself. I mean, if someone ticked off all those boxes , why would they choose a 58 year old when they can get a girl in her 20s for the same money? I think she must be a little autistic at least. I mean, what normal 58 year old would still have such dreams? Sounds like she never accomplished something when she was still young and now wants to quickly do everything she didn’t do when she was young. Pretty sad.
