Older and wiser after divorce? So what is really important in a new partner

[Lostlily]

So i am in my early 40’s and starting dating after divorce and best part of twenty years.
Lots of people have said to me ‘this time around you know what you want’ but do I? Do we?
What do we think is important in a partner as we get older.... looks/ status/personality traits/ background etc ??

Indeed it will be Soso

That’s encouraging Weekend - I rarely meet anyone through my everyday life as all my hobbies tend to be very female focussed and I work at home alone so my only hope is OLD. Always good to hear happy stories of Tinder and POF romances. I met my previous DP on POF and was alternately blissful and crushed, so I’m hoping I can find someone more stable next time!

I find it refreshing that the majority of you also don’t feel the need to live with someone
After my 15yr marriage ended I’ve been dating someone for three years which has now ended because he wanted it to be more serious/live together
Seeing him 3 nights a week was enough for me
My married friends think it’s odd that I prefer to live on my own(with dc) and he probably wasn’t the ‘one’
I’m not convinced it was him.i can’t ever see myself living with anyone.
I would like someone who was financially more stable next time!Not gonna make that mistake again
