Age is typically not a factor for me in dating. I do tend to date women 35+ up to 55, but I am don't seek a woman to date simply due to age.

well am 46 just got dumped by my girlfriend whos 44 i'll do anything to win her back cos this whole dating process weights on a person after while
must people won't even respond back
it would show some respect
instead keep asking if there any good guys still left how would they know when they won't give one a chance

Your belief will undermine your life happiness. Stop believing you will not find someone as we tend to make what believe come true subconsciously.

This is all thanks to our "youth-obsessed" culture nowadays. it has seemed that the only demographic that matters to the corporate world and the media are pretty twenty-somethings who neither have a clue as to how the world works NOR how to deal with it. So- as the saying goes- those of us in our thirties (I'm 35... and a half) have already considered "over-qualified", which is corporate demographic talk for "over the hill". This same myopic mentality can also be seen in the dating scene, as the media will claim that those who haven't been in a stable marriage by their thirties are doomed to a life as a hermit.

And to think there was a time only twenty-or-so years ago when you could be a rockstar or a movie star WELL into your thirties, too.


Well said!flowerforyou

After being married for 17 years and being with that same man since I was 18- this single scene is definitely new territory!

All in God's timing!

Well, at 33, divorced after nearly 12 years of marriage from my high school sweetheart.. I feel like a fish out of water. Honestly, I never "Dated" around, and never thought I would be in a situation where I had to.

I have no clue what to do, how to act, what to say... meaning that, I'm really waiting for the right woman to reach out to me (???) The big problem with that is, the only women showing interest in me are TRUE Cougers (over 60!!!) and married women who claim to be divorced.

You can't rush love, it will happen when it happens. Just be yourself, that's all women want you to do anyway.

I know, it's just that I know how the original poster feels... and am getting a little discouraged myself.

Getting interested in two women who turn out to be married is just salt in that wound.

Take a walk in my shoes. Dated only twice in high school, Married at 19, divorced 26 years later. I am generations removed from knowing whats right and whats wrong in the dating game. I have been swimming in the dating pool for 3 years and still havent found that person for me to hold out his hand and swim with me. I am not giving up. Its just gonna take a little longer since I have so much to learn. Discouraged is ok, just keep treading water.
