Maybe I am being ridiculous, but I feel like I’ll be ready for dating in about 3 months. The only concern is I turn 50 later next year. Am I at a point where women can’t see themselves with a 50 yr old even if they are outgoing, fun and athletic or am I just in my head?

The right person won't care. Focus on being the best version of yourself, and you won't have to worry about whether or not someone will be attracted to you. Confidence and kindness are everything!

Agree with most others, it’s much more than age. Im 39 and just started dating a 50 yo. No issues.

I turn 40 later next year and late 40’s- early 50s is what I’m looking for. My best friend is 36 and her fiancé is 53.

It’s definitely harder to meet people as we get older, but it’s not that we don’t want older men.

I’m 49 dating a 55 year old. His energy levels are a little lower than say a 45 year old, but our chemistry & compatibility are off the charts. You will know & feel it when you meet the right person, OP.

Who told you that? I'm 35 and I'd rather date a man in their 50s than a boy in his 30s.

I think after 35, the age difference becomes less of a thing - I'm far more open to dating 45 and up then before because I think our priorities/future plans will largely align

SF - We are the sane age and I wonder the same thing sometimes. Dating sites aren’t for me and although frowned upon, I would much rather meet through connections from work, than a dating app. The right person will have no issues with your age and might even prefer it.

Don't be too hard on yourself! Do whatever you feel like and don't bother on pleasing others. At the end of the day, it is your life and you should be happy with it.

Is it because you're looking into dating someone below yoir age? Anyways, at mid-30's, age differences start to matter a lot less to people so I think you'll be fine. Also, what's hapoening in 3 months that makes you think you'll only be ready then?

If I'm a 50 year old single woman, I would definitely prefer dating men my age. But if it this doesn't come your way, there's no problem with that.

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

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.
