Ah don't be scared of tinder! Yes, all the wankers are on there but you learn fast how to sift them out and recognise those who are leading up to sex talk and one night stands. Line up a date within a day or two of chatting, max, paint on a big smile and go for a very casual coffee, a walk or a drink. I suggest avoiding dinner or theatre or anything time consuming until you're both sure you're worth each other's time and might like each other! Always treat the first meet as a pre date, to decide if you both want to go on a first date. That makes it less stressful and loaded Wink

I meant to add that the good guys are on there as well as all the wankers!

When i was 32 my H told me he had changed his mind and didn't want kids. We had been together 11 years. I had a choice - stay and have no dc or go and risk not finding anyone. I moved out within 2 months and met now DH at work and started a relationship immediately. I was clear i wanted marriage and kids from the beginning. i had ds1 at 35. ds2 at 37 and dd1 at 39.

My advice would be don't be too choosy. I don't mean settle for someone you hate. But, i have worked with single women who really want everything and moan about being single but aren't prepared to compromise at all.

Both dh and I wanted children and discussed the possibility of it not working out and how we would manage that. We decided having dc together and maybe divorcing later on wasn't the end of the world as having the children was the priority for us. We do love each other. but i think we are not a perfect match and if i'd been waiting for that i wouldn't have any children.

Married at 35 and was 8 weeks pregnant (intentionally) by then. Now have a DD and I'll be 36 in May. My DH was one of my closest work friends. I just didn't realise how I felt about him for a long time Smile

Met my DH at 38, married at 40, expecting our first child at 41.
Definitely not too late. He was very much worth waiting for.
