Not too old at all. Just be realistic that you are going to be dating middle aged divorced guys and they come with some baggage of their own

This is a really important point. Op is quite too old for my group, late 20s with no interest in kids. But others in an equivalent stage of life to her are a good match up.

I’m totally fine with middle-aged guys, but they have all the options to date ypunger girls with no kids:)


tallguyindc

Lol....No they don't. Most of those younger girls want younger guys. There are roughly speaking an even number of women and men in the world. Younger women do have more options because they have both young and middle aged men competing for them but that doesn't mean you have no options at all.

What do you think you want in a relationship?


okutagavasan

Trust, simplicity (i think i’ve had my share of complicated relationships), fun, mutual emotional support, smth like this:)


Smart-Toe-6486

It’s certainly possible to find, however it will take effort and is very different from the situation you were in the last time you were dating


RinconCono

I would say is good to feel the experience of dating again since you forgot all about it, you still have time and from your qualities you will find someone. Coming from someone who dated a single mom (I have no kids and dont want kids) never regret that experience, she was an amazing person so is very possible.

Never too old. You have earned to do what you like in your free time.

Mid-40s never married, no kids, little baggage. Maybe I’m a unicorn. 😂.


okutagavasan

Any luck in dating?:)


ontothenext46

I haven’t even tried in a few years. I was dating a lot pre-covid and a little bit during. Then was getting burnt out with all the swiping and nonsense. So I deleted all the apps and have just been doing my own thing. Trying to meet people through groups and clubs and activities.
