Mature Women Dating - Hey Take The Leap

In years past if you were a mature women dating you would have very limited options. Most of the men your age thought they needed to be with women young enough to be their daughters, or grand daughters. But now that the idea of an older woman dating a younger guy is becoming more mainstream, your options are more numerous than ever  before. 

Many women will have a knee jerk response to the idea of dating someone younger. And that response will be negative.  They may be worried about the way their body looks (I don't see why, heaven knows that many men don't seem to worry about how they look and don't take as good of care of themselves as women their age do).  It might just be that you're afraid you won't have anything in common with someone so much younger. Whatever it is you may want to spend some time re-evaluating your ideas. 

I'm (happily) out of the dating scene myself but I can't believe that there aren't hordes of men, young or old, who would love to date an attractive, intelligent, confidant mature woman. I think it's just a matter of putting yourself in the right frame of mind and in the right places to find someone. 

This can be really hard if you're just getting out of a marriage, especially a long term marriage. Suddenly you find yourself dating after having been with only one person for decades. It's scary. I know that when my marriage ended I wasn't sure what I would do.  But unless you want to be alone for the rest of your life, you're going to have to get your head around the idea of starting to date.

There are many very good online dating sites that may be a good way for you to get the ball rolling. If you want to date primarily younger men there are sites that specialize in that. If you'd prefer to find someone your own age that has many of the same life experiences you do, there are sites that will cater to that as well. 

If you feel like you're just not ready you may want to spend some time with a therapist. It's always beneficial to work through some of the baggage that you may still have from your previous relationship before you enter into a new one. If you don't, you may just pick the wrong person all over again or make all the same mistakes. That will only cause you to stay in the same go-nowhere cycle.  A therapist can help you work through these issues so when you do meet someone you don't have to worry about attracting the wrong type of guy or making the same old mistakes. 

No one should be alone if they don't want to be. Mature women dating options have increased significantly in recent years. Don't just sit on the sidelines, go out there and find someone special just for you. And for the love of God, don't let the stupid opinions of other people rule your decisions. Do what brings you happiness, anyone who truly cares about you won't judge you, they'll just be happy that you're happy.
