Dating over 40?

Something I wanted to share with my friends....

Recently I have been watching a few segments on women dating over 40 as a "second round". I personally find this to be ridiculous! 

Speaking for myself...it was quite one sided. Dating over 40 isn't the end of the world or a 2nd round per say thing. There are many lovely women out there such as myself that are on their 1st round of dating and never been  married. I generally don't consider myself or do others consider me in that age group much since I carry my age well. I have had made many choices and been raised somewhat as a late bloomer and I am still SINGLE. 

I rather be single then date someone and still be alone. I have done this and don't get me wrong it isn't healthy. I want to be married and I want the wedding and all what's about. Coming from a divorced family I feel & wish to do this married thing once but need a  real boyfriend first?  Though been told to go with the times...I'm not much into the on line dating and what it is about but I do understand the reasons for it to be able to meet those you may not find else where, but what happened to the instant connection? 

We all say we want this image we all have created for ourselves but when it comes down to it anything can happen. For example I can be placed in a room full of models with this perfect guy and steal that guy that wouldn't normally find my image as what he was thinking of first. I truly believe its a connection / a electricity that is unknown to make those things happen.

 I'm about to turn 42 years old and I'm single and enjoying life and out there popular doing things I love. I am a professional and look great. I'm not the typical size 2-4 gal you have on the Bachelor looking for love. I'm actually a size 12 at 5'7" and well put together and just because I'm over a size 6 I dont have to be portrayed to date a large guy as shown on TV looking for more to love?

 I personally have dated the artsy, smart, good fit guy similar to an attractive man shown on the Bachelor TV show type guy, yet I'm not the typical stereotype gal selected for the show or if one line you pre type what you are looking for in a profile on line? I'm exotic looking and keep it together for being over 40 and I'm taking the steps each day to prepare myself for the love of my life where ever he may be or have been fortune to known but wasn't ready yet. It takes time to love yourself and find that equal medium between your physical & emotional. 

In meeting this match I believe we shared a foot step or two but just haven't had the moment to meet one another face to face!  So I personally don't feel I need to be reminded it's more difficult to meet a man at this age and I need to be more creative to do so beyond I have naturally. It's not the end of the world dating over 40 for some it's just the beginning of making the mold!
