Yeah. For starters, dedicate yourself to working out and losing weight. Take an active interest in something,..anything,.. like learining to play an instrument, take a few new classes, anything... and it takes off from there. You will meet dozens of new people and you have entirely new cirles of friends. Oh yeah, and always be flirting your *** off whenever possible. Check it out.

Look into starting a new career. If you feel like you do not have a life, that's probably the number one reason why. Or maybe it's because you don't have a partner. To be blunt, at the age of 45, the only way you are going to find a woman young enough to still give you children is if you make enough money to be attractive for the money. That's kind of depressing, but it's a fact.
Or try getting involved in a study of some kind, whether toward a new career, or just to keep your brain functioning properly. I know one guy who went to law school when he was over 60! Passed the bar on the first attempt and practiced, too.
If you're in reasonably good physical condition, now's the time to get seriously involved in some sort of sporting activity, before you start to lose your tone. Go mountain climbing, or backpacking, buy a high-performance bicycle or something pretty demanding. You'll feel younger. And don't forget to take a good camera with you when you go adventuring.

First you need to meditate on what you would like your life to be like. Visualize your future, imagine you are watching yourself on a movie screen in various scenarios until you get a sense of what best fits you. Fine tune your 'movie scenes' until you know what you really want from life.
Remember anything is possible. Think it...dream it...and then live it ! You are 45...that means you are just half way through your life...still young to do whatever you desire and succeed ! Some people see the 40s as a second chance to start over or better still do whatever you wanted to but never got around to doing.
If you need support with your choices, consult a hypnotherapist, counsellor or life-coach.
Wishing you all the best with your new life !
Good luck.

- Do some voluntary work for your community.
- Support (financially) a poor child that needs food, education or treatment for illness.
- Read whatever you like to read about.
- Married? Go on a picnic/vacation with your family.
- Single? Go out, you might meet someone nice.
- Attend classes for a "hobby" or "talent" you've long desired to give attention.
- Attend classes for something you NEVER imagined yourself doing. Or do such activity over the weekend.
- Go jet-skiing.
- Do whatever you do well (your job, be a good friend, a good family member).. you know it when you're good and you know it when you're doing your best.
For me, the best thing to help me get a life when I'm feeling down is BEING A PART OF SOMETHING... an event or activity being held in your community, voluntary or not.. when you work on achieving a project.. you feel your life is really worthy.

Is there somewhere (exotic?) you would really like to see? Go there on your own for at least two weeks; travel around; explore the place and explore your own feelings. Make sure you stay away long enough to shake off any attachments from your past and find yourself.
Once you've found yourself, build a life around YOU!
Good luck and be happy!

Join a singles dating group, practice golf and swiming they are awesome!
You can either join a support group or help in the community, there's so much to do, travel excursions, find things to do, take a drive along the coast. Make friends. excercise, surfing, haha, difficult sport.
If you dare you can join a course to make jewelery like I did, I make lots of jewelery, (that's a therapy) it takes a long time sometimes, depending on how creative you get and you can sell it all, like I will, you can meet women, etc.

The possibilities are endless, if you make a few changes-learn a new skill, change your job, take up a new hobby, join a gym, do something at college (evening classes), make new friends, change your hairstyle/style of clothes, start your own small business......................
I am 48 and having a midlife crisis too (!)

The best way is probably to get a hobby.
What are you interested in? If you like art for instance you can take up an art class and meet like-minded people there.

What fills you with passion? Find other people who have similar interests. In real life, not on the web, of course.
