Met my husband at 35, married at 36, popped out two babies, and my life is more blessed than I could have ever imagined. Best wishes!
King! An affair during your 60s is so messed up!
Met on Bumble at 36 and 38!
My tip: I stopped looking for high attractiveness and started looking for people who were at least a 5, who I thought I would enjoy talking to you for an hour. It made dating more fun and significantly increased my hit rate.

This! Attraction comes from love and love starts with chemistry. You don't see chemistry from a photo!! Give those people who aren't 100% your visual type a chance because people get way hotter when their personality is amazing and you share memories and history together. Why do you think people (like me) who have been married for 20 years and kids, life, etc have dragged our bodies through hell still find each other as hot as day 1? Chemistry, history, and love increase attraction!

I was 35 when I first met my husband, he was 42. Met at a bar. He was a friend of a friend, there with a group that included my friend. Our mutual friend introduced us.
We moved in together 2 years later. Married 3 years after that. Been married 10 years now. First marriage for us both. All good.

At 42 met the love of my life. Online dating app, he was 7200 miles away but the only person I ever met who had a similar life path as me. We fell in love before meeting and then in real life it was even more amazing. 10 year wedding anniversary is next week. Marriage is a rocky road but with your “person” life is tolerable and meaningful.

That “what if” is thankfully not a reality for us — we are both open communicators, so we always know where we both stand on our relationship, issues, needs, and desires. It keeps it simple and real. Clear transparent communication, trust, and partnership is essential to make any relationship work. He is my best friend, partner, souse, and great love.
I think there are plenty of success stories out there. Love is love, age is just a number.

Met 2nd husband at 49 on Match.com. Married at 54. Super happy.
Age isn't just a number. You aren't exactly the same physically at 72 as when you were 24. Just look at photographers of when you wee 24 compared to now. You can't say "the same".
I met the love off my life at 42, close to 43. We had 11 beautiful years together before he passed.
I’d have not traded a single day of him for 40 years with another man.

Just a word of caution. You are still at the age where it’s all more or less good with the idea of combing households and income. As you get older, the idea of marriage becomes much less attractive.
THIS! I’m 41 and I recently tried combining households with my long term boyfriend. It lasted three months and it was a mutual decision to unravel that situation. Absolutely not for me and will likely never try again. I like my space, the peace and quiet, and my autonomy way too much. Fortunately, we both own our own homes and did not eliminate those prior to this social experiment, so we had our own places to go back to.
Met at a bar at 35. Married by 38. 1st kid by 40.
It will happen, don’t worry or give up.
Love doesn’t have an age tag to it, get rid of conditions, make sure whoever is around and you feel they are there to give you everything and do anything for you, that’s the one if not too much baggage.
I met my husband when we were kids in high school. Life got in the way, as it usually does, and we didn't see each other again until we were in our late 40s, started dating (something we didn't do as as kids), moved in together, and got married in 2016. We're celebrating 8 years married on Tuesday, although he claims the whole time since 1983, when we first met.
Happy early Anniversary!!!
I met my husband later in life. We are both 58 and have been together 24 years. Was married right after college and have 3 kiddos. Just found out a grandson is on the way in November!
Congratulations!!! 🥳
We can never say what WILL happen. We can however do what we must for ourselves, also accepting of what happens tomorrow. Cuz honestly it can be too late. Dogs are super pure. Love loyalty care and concern. That leave to average of what 12-16. And the decent human beings we got to what 65-78 ish (don’t quote me) so just find your peace and content. If someone comes along the way that brightens your life accept it, if not though…. be able to still feel happy and content
49 meeting hubby. Married now for 9 years. Be patient. I made a “list” of non negotiables as well as things I would potentially negotiate. Also. A lot of prayer. Good luck and best wishes.

Met my wife at 41, she was 29. Pretty sure I live in the worst state to date. I was so defeated when we met. I was finding no one, top 1% on all the dating apps were not cutting it. You show up for the 5th date of the month and they slept with ferrets in their bed, or they posted old pictures, used filters, and didn’t resemble their photo. The weirdos in Washington state make it tough, but it’s a beautiful state. If I can do it here it can be done anywhere.
No, but I'm hoping love will find me soon, I won't give up hope. 38 yo here 🙂
Bottom line you can do it.
Honestly, I’m engaged but the older you are the easier it is to meet someone aligned with your goals / work ethic / standard of living. Some of us are still out here training our second in command LOL.
My next recommendation is to consider that marriage is a construct, depending on your feelings about pro creation. People rush into it because they feel like it’s failure not to, potentially to be met with a slew of problems.
My opinion, find a way to meet someone new via hobby, the old fashioned bar crawls, etc etc that attracts you INTELLECTUALLY.
Thanks everyone! Really appreciate the responses :)
My Mum and Step dad met when they were pushing late 50’s early 60’s there both dorks and the most wonderful people you could meet. Took them a while but they are a perfect match. At the start they had some hiccups as they had been used to living by themselves for such a long time - its a big adjustment having to think about others and not just themselves and not be selfish. Obviously you need to be attracted to someone, it may be that perfect person is the one you dont realise. Most relationships before tinder were formed through friends. Hope this helps.
Met my SO at 35, what changed for me was allowing men of the opposite political party into my dating pool. When you try the same thing over and over and it doesn’t work, be open to trying something different!
