You dated 4 men? Let me tell you my story. I went on about 100 dates in my early 40s. No one wanted me for more than a few dates. After 3 years of this I met someone who was willing to commit. We moved in together and eventually got married. Five months after our wedding, he died.
I did not give up. I was determined to have a relationship. I decided I was a relationship person and 50 was too young to give up on this. I signed back on to online dating. I met someone amazing. We have been together almost 12 years. We have never had a major conflict. We are on the same page on almost everything. The lesson? It sometimes takes a few tries and a bit of time to find the right person. It’s not all you: it’s them too. Keep trying to find a wonderful man who will appreciate you. If you are 50 or 60 when that happens, it is still worth it.
