I totally get the "I'm getting so along in years" anxiety. Turning 49 is like a "Ready or Not...here comes OLD" alarm...I so hate it.
YET!....isn't a lot about how old (or young) we feel in our minds? I'm kinda counting on that and have been working diligently on convincing my mind 50 is only half way through life.

Oh, if we're going with how old we "think" we are....my mind keeps thinking I'm in my 20's....once in awhile my body has to remind it that 20 was almost 30 years ago....lol (like when I do too much yardwork & collapse from exhaustion, or pull a muscle, or, or....ya know...lol)

Dating after 30, and you're worried? Give me a break! I'm having way more fun in my 50's than I ever had in my 30's and 40's, course I was married then, could have something to do with it! But I was dating in my 20's and this is way more fun than I remember it being then. Has to do with more self-confidence, and not being so concerned what people think.
My actual color is strawberry blonde, the darker red in the picture looks better though. So yes sorta, but no that's not my natural color in the picture.
I guess I am just being silly. Alot of it is what was said to me and how much it hurt and then hearing someone with a PHD saying the same thing just kind of reopened the wound and dredged up the fear. I'm glad to see so many posative repsonses. I thank you all for the encouragement. I feel a whole lot better now.
What BS-don't listen to that crap. You are great, you know it-you will meet someone who will appreciate you for YOU. I'm 55 y/o and look for women over 40-I really don't want someone that far away from my age, my experiences, my life history. You are a young and beautiful pup-enjoy life-it goes so fast. H

Is true, kids are bigger and more independent, giving me more time to have fun..and yes the fun is better than when I was in my 20s, I know what I want now and am not afraid to ask for it lol

I went through those feelings too, they are so not right...
Confidence does come with experience...you have a lot to look forward to..
Men and women just go through changes at differn't times..we eventually do get together sorta closer in age...although I know more men with older women
my grandmother was 11 older then my grand father, my mom was 12 years older then my dad, I do not believe age has anythin to do with it. I think it is all in the attitude!
