I am not sure why the 30 to 35 age range would be considered "too old" to meet someone new or date. Not EVERYONE got married when they were 22.

I think the more difficult problem is dating when you have kids or are still going through a divorce. Not something a lot of men want to deal with, and I can't blame them. They may not be ready to become an instant Dad to someone else's kids. Also, no man wants to hear a woman talk about how bad her ex was. Whenever I dated a man who convinced me his ex-wife was "the devil" it kind of made me wonder about him too. I think its best to just say "I'm divorced, it didn't work out" and leave it at that.
