Hi, I’m 42 and single. Divorced a decade ago. I have two kids and have dated sporadically over the years but have a lot of fears about putting myself out there and meeting new people. Has anyone had success dating online? Are there apps anyone could recommend or advice for dating later in life?

To feel nervous and to be scared of meeting wrong person. But it all part of dating thing.

As i don't know your gender nor your country i am giving generalised tips.

I would say start dating when you don't carry baggage. Else you would be fast in judging people.

When you go for date face to face don't expect anything ..just think you are meeting people ..studying human.. haha..

Have lot of patience. Go slow even though u feel they are right match. As to know true nature of person few meet-up is required. There are many player outside.

Think you had survive all this way alone than you can survive few more days or month.

It okay someone reject you. Sometime people blame other to hide their fault. I think it okay someone have their choice and we don't fit their preference. So don't let affect your less esteem.

First impression matter i don't say go stylish it just dressup well.

If someone ask pic share normal . If they ask sexy it totally upto u ,as many are there to just watch nude only. N disappear.

If ask video call take care what you express.. prefer to talk general no secret sharing. There are particular people who record and later blackmail that you abuse them or ask for adult show bla bla. Even they will say .. i am going to do police complain and all. It happen with one of my friend. So take care.

Any moment do not scared of blackmail or threatening.

Be clear what you want .. how much you are ready to adjust. Sometime we have to let go good people because we are not same page regarding future or choice or whatever . it okay to let go.

There are many good people too out there. Just you need to be alert..patience . And believe in urself. You will meet good people too. You would have good experience also.

Nothing wrong in giving try and with positivity.

Take care .

You lose a lot of stuff depending. I'm not sure if you come out a better person. It's warfare on the human brain.
