You have the unique opportunity to play the field right now and have some fun. I wouldn't write anyone off if you are not looking for commitment at the moment. The whole idea of "dating" is to learn about each other. If you make it known that you are not looking for committment at this moment, then everyone can be on the same page.

The great thing about dating in your 40's as compared to in your teens is that you have so many more years knowledge and patience now than you did then. While the heart may still skip a beat for certain folks, our heads and gut can be followed a bit more than when we were younger and just learning.

After 2 failed marriages, I found myself in a situation I NEVER dreamed could ever happen to me. I knew a man for a couple of years and then one day we "clicked" and fell in love with each other. We married (maybe I'm a glutton for punishment here LOL) and I have never been happier or more in love than I am right now. He is 21 years younger than me. We do have different ideas, different likes and dislikes, but that's what makes our relationship so wonderful. We are both willing to share and explore each others interests. So to me, age is not an issue (it took me some time to work through this). But I'm comfortable with it now.

Take your time....enjoy your times together. Give yourself the opportunity to discover exactly what it is you want in a companion. Even if things don't work out with someone romantically, you may just end up having a wonderful friend for life!

Wishing you well!
