Dating after mid-thirties... what a problem!

Monday, September 29, 2008

Today I read a post where mid-aged people described what a problem it is to Date after mid 30s; this is called the "I'm to old to date" syndrome. The majority of this people believe that dating is actually for youngster from early to late 20s. Most of this mid-aged people had gone through a divorce after years of marriage, or had widowed for sometime and lost their touch at dating. This people get terrified of dating or even to be in a non-marital social relationship.

Example of this is Patricia (we are changing the name). She explains that, after her divorce that ended a 32 year marriage, she hated the fact that her friend's circle consisted of couples. Of course after sometime she was feeling all alone and miscomprehended by her friends. She admits to feel lonely, but she is also afraid of taking the first steps to meeting someone else. Another person stated, "I was so scared, my daughter had to lead me by the hand and introduce me to men she thought I might be interested in."

For some people the answer might rely in joining and organization with similar interest; it doesn't have to be of singles with marriage on their minds; but people with similar thoughts, needs, who are mature adults on a recreational and discussion groups. This way you can actually get to know everyone before you take the lead of asking someone out. This is actually one of the best options you can get! It is proven to help you enter the dating world in a slow-comfortable manner and at the same time you will know what is out there for you.

Of course, you always have the internet to find singles. But if what you are looking for is more than just a date search, you are very welcome to check out any recreational group near you. I promise, if you don't find a date... you will make new exciting friends!
