43 and just had a baby on my own as a single mother by choice. Didn’t want to wait for something that obviously has a time limit. But still want to find a man / partner and have a 2nd kid / love.

Yes! Used a sperm donor and happy to chat with anyone about it. There’s a group in nyc - single mother by choice and a website that connects women in other cities. She’s very cute and all the docs say she has good genes. :)

Yes. Almost 40F here and I think the dating pool in general is smaller and I believe the more success I obtain the less attractive I am to some men who would prefer a doting housewife or girlfriend. Ain’t me babe. Haha

Yes. I mean I can’t remember the exact age things fell off a cliff but.. yeah. If you read Attached, one theory is statistically the people still in the dating pool who are old are likely Avoidant. Obviously some could just be divorced, etc.

Yes.. as F 30+ .. it’s hard to fool myself when I spot a red flag.. tho I might be a walking 🚩 lamo

I agree; as a 44-year-old female and someone a decade younger, I would think we could not mesh well in each other's lives.

Yes. But I can say, with patience and luck, things can work out. 😁

I had a crush on a girl. It's been almost 2 years since I confessed my feelings to her and today she told me that she likes me too.
The only issue is she's a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. She believes we don't have a future and that's why she took a long time to confess. She is confused on what to do and even I am confused because things will actually be difficult for obvious reasons.
Please advice on what we should do now.
Should we part ways or should we fight for it?
