I am divorced over a year now and I am starting to think about dating. I recently turned 50 but have been told I appear to be 40. I have no idea where to go to meet a good man my age. Any suggestions?

A Harley-Davidson dealership has lots of men your age.

Even better, you already know they like motorcycles!

I can't answer this directly, I'm getting to that 40-50 bracket sooner than I'd like to, but not there yet...

But what do you enjoy doing? What are your interests and hobbies?

I find that the best relationships start when you meet like-minded people, even if personalities are different, but at least you already have something in common.

That's what worked best for me in life, regardless of age or physical location.

Good luck in your search!

Well you may meet someone appropriate right here on the Advice boards.

You could try eHarmony or the dating site of your choice.

Or you could use the time honored method / place, a bar.

What do you enjoy doing?

Art galleries? Museums? Bike rides in the park? Hiking? Movies? Libraries? The beach? The local swimming pool? Volunteer work?

Whatever you like, if you do those things, you are likely to meet people who like the same activity. Both sexes. You can make new friends that way. They all have friends of friends.

You'll be doing what you enjoy while opening new doors for yourself!

Thanks for all your responses, I do enjoy just about all the suggestions minus the harley store and bars. They just aren't my cup of tea. I have spent the past year and a half healing from a 20 year marriage and am just now feeling ready to get out there, it's just a bit scary, I am so rusty. I just need to get out there and do it. I actually am enjoying my new found freedom.

Well, talking here on the boards is a good start. If nothing else, it can boost your confidence in talking with others and finding out you are not stepping on too many toes. Just be yourself and you will do fine.

Good luck in your search.
