When your love life
faces the age old quandary of ageism it is important to look it right in the
eye and stare it down. Some people's love life can seem like a major obstacle
when that reaches a certain age; whatever that is for you some 30 others 60.
You may feel that you are either attracting very young people, 20-something,
who just want to have sex with you; or actually want to date but you feel too
old for them, and can't; or meet singles that don't want to be with someone
anywhere near their own age and certainly not older than them. You may feel
incredibly stuck in an ageist time warp.
You are not alone
in feeling challenged by attracting a partner who feels age appropriate for
you. In fact, there are many wonderful, beautiful, smart singles in their 30's,
40's, 50's, 60's, and beyond who are frustrated on the dating scene with men
over 50 wanting to find someone younger.
Well there will
always be individuals out there who feel that a younger partner is fitting for
them for any number of reasons, such as:
1) They share the
same emotional maturity level (remember, some people
mature slower and
others faster)
2) They want to
feel younger (a lot of people have a difficult time feeling that on their own)
3) They want to
feel needed (an older partner can generally offer a broader life experience
perspective)
4) Some people want
to be taken care of (this goes for both the older male and the younger female)
While all these
scenarios can be true it doesn't have to be a double standard or that way for
you.
First of all, Love What
Is Appearing in Your Life.
Second, Take
advantage of the dating invitations that are coming your way from those younger
than you and explore your common interests and compatibility. You may even
develop a new perspective on love and partnering. Bless those that are seeing
the True Beauty in you! I am finding that this generation seems to be very open
minded, open hearted, and certainly have strong libidos.
Third, Also go out
to events that people your own age enjoy where you will have the opportunity to
mingle and meet. This could be networking events in your industry or singles
events for people just in the age range you are looking for.
Fourth, Have
parties with some of your coupled friends and ask them beforehand to invite
their great single friends for you to meet. Community events, such as a
political event or community support group, are also great meeting places. I am
sure you also have others that you can add to this list too!
The key is to keep
your attitude positive, stay healthy and get out of the house and start meeting
a lot of new and interesting people. Then your partner, who is the right age,
can find you!
