Dating is so confusing to me. Yes at my age I am confused. Younger....older.....smarter....dumber.....short....tall....I do not have problems dating just do not understand all the rules......are there clear rules to dating after being a wife and mother?

I can relate to u I was a wife and a mother too and am new to the dating scene also. (I am 41) I think the only rules are the rules "we" make for ourselves. I don't think there are set rules, but we have to decide what is best for us and what boundaries we want to set for ourselves. I am finding it very different in the dating world but I just try to stay true to who I am and I think having self respect is very important. So I think go out and have fun and enjoy life to it's fullest and let your heart lead u and hopefully u find the type of man that has the same values, goals, and interests as u. I have found u can usually tell after a few dates if the guy is right for u. Good luck and email me if u have any interesting tips as I am new to this scene also. :-)

I think the rules for dating is the same weather you are 12 or 50 never kiss on the first date unless you really want to. Never ever talk about exes ever or all the bad things they have done to you.
Give complements and listen attentively. Thank your date for a wonderful time only if it is true .Men have a nasty habit of telling you they will call you when they have no intention of doing so . So never give him your number rather take his and tell him you'll call him only if its true. Give him your number on the third date.
Most of all enjoy yourself. have as much fun as you can. don't take anything to seriously unless you meet someone with potential

I am 50+ & single ; divorced after 24years & 4 kids
make up the rules as you go along provided you are happy within yourself.
DONT be pressured into somehting you dont want.
play the field ( a BIG field) if you are comfortable with that scenario
whatever you decide it is NO-ONE elses business but yours.
this is your time for you
If someone appeals to you & you would like to go out with them - the YOU ASK;
be prepared to pay at times - this helps you keep your independance- but dont haggle if the guy insists on paying just accept graciously & say - wll my treat next time
TAKE CARE ; KEEP SMILING & ENJOY

I don't really think there are any "Rules" as such. It's just that people this age usually have a lot of experience and even "Exes".... I would be sure to keep all that in the background and show your expertise at the right time. Good luck..........
