Hi there! I have to agree with the person that said, first find out what YOU like. Once you've done that (or already have a hobby or something you are passionate about) then go do it! Get involved in your local community. Be very very wary of online dating (speaking from experience here). I strongly believe that if you are involved in something you love you will find others that love the same thing, whatever that may be and then you have something in which to begin to talk about. And if even you don't meet someone in that activity maybe you meet someone that knows someone that would "be perfect for you".
Bottom line, go out, have fun, be happy. If you are happy within yourself this attracts more men than you would ever believe. Trust me. Again, I speak from experience.
One last thing, I am 42 and don't think of myself as "mid-life", good grief! We are still spring chickens. :-)

I am 39, so I am close to being in my 40's and my experience in meeting new people have been while I am waiting in line, whether it is for gas, groceries, etc.., or lounging at Starbucks and drinking coffee. The best thing that has brought a lot of new people in my life is my new puppy. Heidi, (my dog)is super hyper and she has to run up to every single person we pass and seek attention, I have met a lot of people this way too.

Just do things you like. People doing the same things you do have a common interest. Go to a new place and make some new friends.
Online is OK but you need to be really careful and selective.

don't know most people our age are doing the married/family thing, they don't go out much etc. i really don't have the time to devote to dating anymore, people have gotten way to needy for my tastes.
good luck.
