The crazy thing about dating over 40 is when it's the result of getting divorced over 40. I was with my wife for 12 years and I was always the guy who thought that I'd find my perfect lady and grow old and wrinkled with her. After my divorce, I unintentionally gave up on that but then, when I was just coming out from my lowest, I met my now-fiance (https://www.kingspassage.com/2021/07/27/for-lizzy/) who is pregnant with our first child together. So at 45 I've been divorced, about to be married twice, about to have a fourth child, and I think this is the happiest I've ever been. Don't give up, guys.
