Easy really, just take care of yourself and take pride in your appearance.  The single guys in that age range are also likely to be back on the scene following a divorce.

I'm 26, and not 2, and not from CO.  Go to a bar and find someone.  \n\nGood luck!

Hi. My GF is 28 and i am 40. Just ask him what he is looking for, you can even ask him out for coffee. That is a good ice breaker. You can have a healthy relationship with him, emotionally and physically. Some people his age are single by choice. I have been divorced for 13 years and dated several women before i met my fiance. We have been together for 4 1/2 years not. If that is all he said for now than let it go. He may not be comfortable talking about it. Ask him out for coffe and just be you and talk with him. You won't regret it. And by the way...my gf and i are best of riends i we love each other alot.

If it has been that long then you can feel free to date again. The only thing is I would not let my children met anyone until I was sure he was the right one. You are a free woman to do as you please/////////////////

Realize what went wrong.\nThere is no fixing this if the marriage ended but make sure it doesn't happen again by not repeating past mistakes no matter who was at fault.\nPick Yourself up.\nStart attending events that interest you.\nSince you must be older , possibly look for senior activities even at large senior centers where you can go have dinner in the dining hall and talk with people your age if you don't have a strong friend network.

you know if i tell you someone it wont help you much but i have an idea ......why dont you go into the park with a coffe and a magazine(nad maybe if you have bring a dog) many older women like to go there on a sunday morning....and maybe you come into a talk with one and there you can meet each other personly.....if you want to have a date just like that go to go onto one of these sites but i would think it would be better the idea with the park........\n\nPerfectMatch.com\nwww.PerfectMatch.com      Share your Life with Your Soul Mate.

As a female answering this question I will tell you what I think.  You have to really know what you are really wanting in a relationship, whether it be just a casual or you are actually ready to find someone you want to settle down with.\n\nAs a female in her late 40's I like you find it very hard to meet someone.  I truly think that the dating websites are a great way, but what I have found is that a lot of men are not truly honest in their description about what they really want.  \n\nIf you are not interested in a long term relationship, then say so.  Don't let the person you are dating think you are ready to settle down when you are actually looking to have fun only and move on.\n\nJust be honest, respectful and romantic and you will win the heart of a woman.  \n\nGood Luck in your search.

Start from the beginning from when you first started dating. Go back to the place you met. Revisit old past times together. Start doing the things you used to do before your life became busy. \n\nDon't forget to look back and find out what that person really means to you. Spice things up a little, do something that you would not ordinarily do. You may have become to predictable with your day in and day out routine. Do some new things.\n\nPray about it as well. It'll work, you have nothing to worry about.

Not until after you are 47. The you meet some one that you consider your love interest. OR you make someone that you are seeing your love interest in your environment. First your illussionary manner needs to end, whatever that is will end befor you turn 47. You will have more than one potential love interest to choose from. This year, age 46, you cleaned up much debt and paid off a lot of what you owe.  Age 47 will be a better year for finances. 48 even better!  \nWhat are you looking for, do you know what you even want? I see you change your mind a lot so it is difficult for you to know what it is you want when it changes all of the time.\nStart seeing the value in what you HAVE and DO in your life and I know you will find more happiness than searching to fill a void.\nYou appear, by birthdate, as ambitious and material-orientated.\nMaybe you need to adopt a spiritual viewpoint and seek satisfaction on that level.  You are here to learn how to love other's for who they are unconditionally. You can find inner-peace.\nMost materilistic types are the most challenged in Love. For these people emotional attachment brings them nothing but pain.\nYou seek the perfect union with another and it is or may be if you can love another unconditionally. Work on emotions and communication of feelings to assist you in finding your love.\nThis ideal relationship you seek may come later in life, which for you can be right about now or anytime.

Well I am 26 and I've been through a lot of bad dates and got out from one really bad relationship. My last gf pretty much cheates on me  behind my back. But watever. But my point is in order to meet that special someone, you must go through pain before you can enjoy happiness. You're getting tired of dating mainly because you met guys who are jerks, dogs,  or self obsorbed. Thus letting your mind trained to think that all guys are like that. So when you start going out on dates or start being somebody's gf, your mind end up having that negative thoughts already. I'll bet you that your next boyfriend that you ecountered will have that negative image in your mind for him already. You will try to find his flaws and ignoring the things that captures your heart in the first place. \n\nDating in highschool is totally different than dating as an adult. There's a lot of puppy love in highschool. You saw a cute guy and you guys just start going out making out in school, going to dances, writing each others love letters saying i love you this i love you that. It's all puppy love. You're too young to know what love is. Infatuation is a huge effect when you're in highschool cus everything your partner does is "awww, how cute" etc. But as an adult dating, you both are more mature, more experienced and pretty much more down to earth. Sometimes you even think about marriage. Marrying your highschool sweethart is very rare. I have a friend who just got married and she married her HS sweethart. She's around my age now. \n\nBut keeping it simple in the dating scene is the key to a successful relationship. When somebody end up hookin up, they should know that breaking up is very painful so when they do hook up, make sure they need to know their partners really well. I see a lot of couples end up hookin up and just saying "lets give it a shot, see what happens" and than they end up breakin up and hating each other to death. I always follow this song I listened to back in the days, it's by Shai " If I ever fall in love"  the lyrics is. If i ever fall in love agian, i'll will be sure that the lady is a friend."  It means that becoming somebody's friend first is always easy because you respect them as friends already and love them later is a peace of cake. \n\nSo to survive the dating scene, you dont need to try to survive but to cherished the fact that you're able to meet new friends and maybe if you're lucky, meet a life partner. The dating scene is fun and having a partner that you can come home to is not bad at all. Dont put a dark cloud over something that is beautiful. And not all guys are dogs, jerks or cocky so you shouldn't be afraid.

Just get off your butt and go say hi.  Letting life pass you by and not making a move will get you NOTHING in this life.  If you're old enough to have feelings for someone, you're old enough to actually act with grace and maturity.  Talk to him. Ask him if he'd like a soda, coffee, or something.  Or just bring him one, sit down next to him, and start up a conversation.  \n\nTalk to your mother, sister, aunt, or someone you trust about boys.  Preferrably someone older that can help you figure this stuff out.  Then, you won't lose sight of what's important, and you can get some help with the other issues you're going to be facing soon enough.  Trust me, older women are a great resource of info in the dating department.
