DSVET9091 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Here's my story, been divorce now 2 yrs and I feel I'm ready to start over. I seem to be having a hard time with this dating scene and trusting again, my ex cheated on me. I do want to be loved again but I feel I'm being rejected because I'm 46 with three kids. I'm very independent, have my own house, smart, and I make great money. Any suggestions as to where I can find some good honest men. I don't do bars, I don't drink much.
Cee Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Dating options are still plentiful in our 40s, but it will take a great deal of patience and a sense of humor. I tried online dating and had plenty of dates, but somehow it didn't work for me. Then I took classes and joined a ton of groups. That method seemed to have promise, but to be honest I don't think I ever had a date from that. What ultimately worked after 2+ years of trying was to live my life well and be open to men around me. I had several dead ends, but eventually I met my boyfriend simply by doing something I enjoyed doing (watching a political speech on a bar's tv). I have a superstition that the harder I tried in dating, the worse the outcome. Once I loosened up and stop trying I met someone. I know it's a cliche, but that worked for me. Good luck & remember to continue to be happy. Don't let dating depress you because it can.
