I really don't think I'm that bad looking and am still very fit for my age,. I'm friendly and outgoing, yet I don't seem to be having any luck these days. What am I doing wrong?

I didn't add contact details as I know this isn't a dating site. Besides, if anyone were interested in contacting me, there's always IM. I'm not sure what some of the negative comments are about though. This is a genuine question.

I'm a 45 yrs young woman in MN, USA and I'm dating a wonderful guy who is 49 (from Wales, BTW) We met on-line after both having had some rather bad, odd and dull dates/relationships with people we'd previously met on-line. He'd been on longer than I but he didn't lose hope and "found me."
If there is this sort of thing in London, I'd highly suggest it. Correspond with the potential dates for a wk or 2, then talk on the phone once or twice and set up a DAYTIME date, say lunch. If lunch goes well, ask for a REAL date and go somewhere that you can talk but have fun as well. My guy and I met for lunch at an Indian place and then he called me up the next day and asked me out for the real thing. He gave me the choice of posh and fancy or relaxed and casual. I pick the latter and we went for some good beer, a bit of billiards and dinner. It was great. We had a chance to compete a bit, the food was good and the conversation was wonderful.
Take it slow. Watch for what you DON'T like as opposed to what you do like about the other person, then you won't be so apt to stay in a relationship when you should be leaving.
Good luck. Have fun. And be SAFE!

Why dont u join a dating agency or go online and try to meet someone that way. Alternatively you could ask your friends to introduce you to any single women in your age group that they know. You might just come across as too eager & we women can smell that a mile off :-)
Good Luck with your search

Are you looking for women in their fifties or are you still trying to go after the twenty somethings? I'm sure there are plenty of fun, fit, attractive women in their fifties that would love to go out with you. The problem is finding them because our culture somehow has made being over fifty a crime. Unless of course, you were a rock star in the seventies. then it's cool.

are you making the most of your interests? Older women are drawn to men who have a real passion for something they enjoy. Try joining a club that has nothing to do with dating but everything to do with enjoying a hobby or interest, and see what happens. Good luck :)

Actually nothing. Be patient, there are more women looking than men. For gosh sakes, don't "hit" on women. And don't be surprised if much younger women approach you.

Well, it's like drawing number one on a 53-numbered lots.

Depend on how old the person whom you look for?
