Which one of you has not made any Mistakes in the last Decade?
Perhaps you married your mistake and then years down-the-line realized that it was a major regret?
Some people arent even married a year ,ready to Call it quits.
Time goes by the days the years and before you know it…. you’re 40 your single… and back available on the dating scene.
All the jokes you told in your 20’s about 40 year olds and their cats being home alone on Friday nights are looking all too realistic right now.
If you have children they’re getting older they’re hanging out with their friends and doing their own thing.
If you have friends some of them are married some of them are divorced and the rare wonderful fun few are single and you see how they’re living their lives and having a great time . Going out and having fun .THAT becomes a little harder when you are a single parent but it is possible with the right preparation , The spontaneous impulses can’t really be there.
Is it really that bad starting fresh and dating at 40?
There’s plenty of people after 40 years old who are newly dating. AND probly having the most fun may have in years by doing so!
I give credit to those of you who stuck through their marriages through hard times and bad,the cheating ,whatever it was that made it work. Some marriages are strong and there some people who just stay for the kids or stay because they want to prove they can say with somebody for 20 plus years. Then there are the people who are actually happy in the marriages and much kudos to you guys!!!
40 is the new 30, it’s not like what it used to be in the 80’s when you were 40 ,you were going on 65 years old.
Everything’s done online the dating sites- meeting people , which for me can make it a bit challenging because I like their face-to-face contact but we’re living in a new era ,a new world.
At 40 people are ” supposedly” more mature and they have a good idea about how they want to live their lives what they want to do and who they are.
Dating after 40 can be an adventure, go for it!!!
And let us know if you are dating and can make any dating site recommendations.
I’d love to hear your experience of dating after 40!

Thank you for that deep true insight Leslie. It’s like a clock ticking in our heads that at a certain age we need to be at a certain point, and if we not then it’s too late. But, really, it’s never too late

Abby,
Dating has changed so much in the past 15 years! Its SCARY almost. The thought of dating apps for me is not the ideal way I would want to meet someone. BUT when the time comes, and we try it, we may just get use to it. I miss the old fashioned way of meeting someone in person. It will be an adventure to say the least
