dating question - too old to date?

Are you trying to revisit your lost 20s? Do people ever meet, marry, etc., in specific targeted age brackets? OF course you know that's not true or even realistic. Life HAPPENS, so go with it! Now you're 36, the prime of life---why not focus on meeting other people you find interesting, regardless of age? How could you possibly be "too old to date"? You're not dead, are you? Go out & have fun; take a class, visit museums, go horseback riding, hiking; take photos of landscapes & wildlife. Take up baking. Write a screenplay or a poem. The point is, DO: You ARE WHAT YOU DO, not the sum of your shoe size, eye color, age, IQ, or PAST...
So---what do YOU WANT to DO TODAY?

Life takes unexpected turns frequently so don't feel like you have a disadvantage in the dating scene because of your age or your medical issues. 36 may seem old to someone in their teens or early twenties, but to me, you're the young pup.

I don't think your age or your past medical issues will hinder you unless you allow either of them to do so. There are plenty of single guys of all ages out there so be confident in yourself and get out there! Don't feel like you have to accept anyone that shows up. Keep your standards high, expect them to be met, and enjoy the rest of your life. Love can find you at any age, trust me on that since it recently happened to me when I thought I was long past being able to find that again.

By the way, I'm 59, she's 58, so obviously, 36 isn't too old to find love.

This is what I've noticed - younger men now want older, more experienced women. Cougar Town is on air for a reason, because it's a trend. You won't have any problems at 36 - TRUST ME!

It's true that men want younger women, but you ARE a younger woman to men who are 45 and over. Just don't count on dating someone your age or younger.

they only look at younger women for 1 thing: wild sex.
and guys who think of that aren't really the type you want.
if you think you're old to date, then my mom must be young.
She's 51 and is still dating guys.

So dont think you are too old. I dislike when people in their 20's think they're old. Old, is 70 and up in my dictionary.
Yet even old women date old men, therefore, there's no age limit of dating.

It's only the guys. So go out there, and find yourself a nice guy, might take a while, but it's worth being alone, right?

If you feel too old to date at 36 I am guessing you watch a lot of tv, you are overweight, don't exercise, don't have any activities you are passionate about. Anyone can find someone to date, the real question is what quality of person you can get. My advice is to first adopt an exercise program, push yourself to try new activities, start building a life that will interest a desirable guy. If you aren't happy with who you are then hooking up with whatever guy you can get through online dating will just keep you from ever turning your life around.

Your dating life will mirror the way you feel about yourself. If you think that you're worthy of being someone's company, then the person that you're with will feel worthy being with you.

Not all men look for younger women. When I was 20, I dated women in their 20's. Not teens, not in their 30's, either. Now that I'm approaching 50, I wouldn't even imagine dating someone in their 20's. Now, I really prefer women in my age bracket. I enjoy talking about common history. I think of Steely Dan's song, "Hey 19". "Hey 19, that's Aretha Franklin. She don't remember, the Queen of Soul." So no, you're not too old.

I think whether or not men want to date you has more to do with your attitude than your age. I have seen widowed women in their 70's and 80's date and find love. 36 is hardly old.

My husband (the only man I had ever dated) died when I was in my late 40's, and I had to start all over with a bunch of kids, no less. I had NO experience with dating, and was terrified. I went on a dating site, and was having 3-4 dates a week. I think I had 100 dates one summer. I have been in two fairly long term CLOSE relationships since then, and had the time of my life. So no, you will only miss out if you don't get out there and meet people. That is up to you. My bf and I are in our 50's now and our kids (some in their 20's) are jealous of all the fun we are having! They aren't doing half as much as we are. Men may be looking for younger women, but we can still catch their eye, and ultimately the the only older guys the young girls really go for are the rich sugar daddies, and the rest of the older guys wake up and realize they have a lot more in common with women their age, and most of us look better kept than the men our age. I know. I work for a singles group, but that's not where I found my relationships. I used the online dating sites. Good Luck.
