Love after 40...very real, very possible



So I am really wondering if a divorced mom of two can really expect to find love again at 42? I mean sure since my divorce many moons ago (6yrs) I have dated and have even been engaged twice. So I know that love is very real and possible.

But is the search for love in vain? And why am I searching? I mean shouldn't love be coming to me? I know from many past experiences that when I go out seeking I always find someone I shouldn't be with, hence the 2 broken engagements. However, call me insane but I believe in love, I always have. I know that being in love is a wonderful thing and should be cherised.

So lets look at some facts, I am 42, well educated, I date interracially (always have) and I am a mom to two girls. My libido is working very well thank you, and my flirtatious nature is in full swing. I attract men of all ages and nationalities. Matter of fact, Brad, 28 whom I recently chatted with in Walmart of all places asked for my phone number. I was flattered but not interested. Don't get me wrong, Brad was gorgeous, great smile, gorgeous blue eyes and long dark hair and could hold a conversation.

Now I will be 43 shortly and my belief in love is still very strong. I know that there is a wonderful guy out there who enjoys old movie musicals, and who can laugh at silly jokes. Someone who can enjoy a sunday afternoon in bed reading the paper and making love. Someone who can roll with whatever life throws at you. I don't think that's a tall order to fill, nor is it impossible. It just may take some time for him to find me.
