I am not a woman either so I'm afraid my advice is not going to be really useful to you. But yes, I COMPLETELY agree with what ALL the other WISE and WONDERFUL posters have already WISELY and WONDERFULLY SAID BETTER THAN I EVER COULD! KEEP FIGHTING! It is certainly not easy to meet other women who may be interested in dating after a certain age, but that doesn't mean that it's imposibble! There are PLENTY of men and women who go on dates in their Forties and Fifties. You're DEFINITELY not alone in this, so please NEVER give up HOPE! I hope you'll find the RIGHT PERSON for you! KEEP LOOKING AND KEEP FIGHTING! Sometimes the RIGHT PERSON IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER when you least expect it! DON'T GIVE UP! KEEP FIGHTING Please NEVER give up Hope! KEEP FIGHTING! Keep looking wherever you can. Dating sites, clubs... ALL of these things! I feel like the BEST starting place may be your own interests and hobbies and perhaps join some Activities and Clubs where you can meet MANY more like-minded people! I am sure you have thought about this already, but PLEASE give it a try if you haven't! KEEP FIGHTING! Please be REALLY kind to yourself! There's NOTHING wrong with you! You just need a little more practice but hopefully things will get easier once you get the ball rolling! DON'T GIVE UP! KEEP FIGHTING! You may also want to consider a Therapist so that He/She will be able to teach you some SOCIAL SKILLS that are certainly FUNDAMENTAL when it comes to dating! I believe there are also PLENTY of books on the subject so please take a look at them if you wish to do so! KEEP FIGHTING! Feel free to PM me ANYTIME if you need Advice And Support or even simply SOMEONE TO TALK TO! I AM SURE PLENTY OF OTHERS WILL ALSO GLADLY HELP YOU OUT AS WELL IF YOU JUST ASK FOR HELP! Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH You, @LundiHvalursson, Your Family, Your Friends And ALL Of Your Loved Ones! Please do keep fighting and do keep rocking AS MUCH AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN like you're already WONDERFULLY DOING ALL AND ENTIRELY BY YOURSELF AND ALL AND ENTIRELY ON YOUR OWN!
