From a young age I have a serious personality, not easily approachable. Got worse with age. It worked to ward off suitors when I was still a student. Later it worked adversely. Thank God I found the one at last.

I feel like I have reverted back to the shy teenage girl I once was not the mature woman I have been for 20 years. it's strange to me dating at this age but hey i dont want to spend my best years alone either so here I am...

Well! I don't have a problem with dating. Maybe cos I am a guy and not really afraid to find and explore. I date from ages 20 to 40. Mostly ladies around from 20 to 30. Which is my preference. What works for me is that I am honest very honest. I am a SINGLE guy. I'm independent and live alone. Simple, down to earth and open minded. I'm mature and good natured. I put God first and foremost. I am always available and approachable - can chat day or nite. I got nothing to hide and I'm free. I say the ladies exactly wot I want and looking for. I don't beat around the bush. That's basically it.

I have been contacted by guys in the military and I start asking questions dumb and smart ones that may seem a little off except to an american and the answers I get tells me if they are legit or not. I also will tell the person I am emailing right up front that I would like to play a little question and answer game to see if they are really legit. Most that are legit play along..

I think it gets easier at 40. Maybe she is searching for a celebrity or millionaire

For me, ANY age was/is difficult. I mean, how many guys 1) Don't drink, 2) Don't really give a flip about watching or participating in most sports, 3) Aren't that into organized religion, but are not atheist, 4) Are poor dancers, 5) Are not rich, 6) Are not a hunk with chiseled features that ladies can't take their eyes off & 7) Can't think of where to meet people (since bars are ruled out (#1), tailgating & other sports-related venues are ruled out (#2), church & related activities are ruled out (#3) & clubs are rulled out (#4))? I was in a relationship with one who had all of those qualities... Except for number one, we both drank maybe 10 times a year... Number seven wasnt an issue either..

Here in the US...50 is the new 30, 60 is the new 40, therefore..40 is the new 20

I am 48 years old and the guys that want to date me are in their 60's and 70's. I don't know what to do about that. Where I live most men are in a relationship, or they are involved in things like hunting or dirt biking. I'm not into that, so I'm not dating anyone.
