Have I left it too late at 39?

[Year2023]

I have been single for a few years now and have been happy single, concentrating on my career and twins age 8. I have now been open to dating again and maybe having a partner. But wondering if I've left it too late. I don't want anymore children and ideally would want someone who already has children or does not want any. The age range would ideally be 37 - 50.

I look good for my age and I'm fit etc and people always think I'm younger but I'm slightly worried that finding someone might not happen because I've left it too late.

Please give me your brutally honest opinions. I've never tried online dating as it has never appealed to me. Just to add (not bragging at all but I still get attention/seconds looks from men etc) so looks wise I think I'm OK but age wise I'm not so sure.

39 is the cut off point. Beyond that you're not allowed to date men. A quiet life of contemplation awaits you.

But seriously, you don't ever know what's going to happen until you put yourself out there, have to sift through the bad to get to the good.

Oh and OP instead of thinking about it like that, try to think there's some lucky fella out there that is waiting for you to put yourself out there.

Have you left it too late at 39?

If you want to date for three years, have a two year engagement, save for another three years for a lavish wedding, have at least two years as newlyweds before then having seven children - YES

In any other circumstances- NO

Well if your past it I’m basically hopeless at 43 then!!

Absolutely not and actually I don't think there is a too late or a cut off age. My dad met his current partner at 68 3 years ago, she is the same age and I've never seen him so settled and happy. They met online as i did my partner of 1 years so honestly give online a go. There will be some awful ones, I certainly had a few of those but it's loads of fun too and you never know what may happen. Good luck

Should be an edit button as that should be partner of 10 years not 1 year!

@Year2023 no you haven't left it too late at all!! I met my hubby at 40!
All the best in your search ❤

Just about to say exactly this

My husband and I’s Nans (both widowed) met someone new in their 70s and 80s. It’s never too late to find someone to spend your life with.
Don’t stress or set unnecessary pressure on yourself OP, it will happen 💐💜
