Starting to date after a long time single

Be kind I have been separated for 13 years and haven't had even a whiff of a date in that time. I know I feel pathetic ! I do sometimes think it would be nice to have someone to talk to. I'm fat though. Size 18 on a good day with a lovely tummy overhang from 2 c sections. Do I have any hope of meeting someone . I guess I won't know til I try but I'm scared and can't imagine having sex again. Anyone in a similar position with any advice thx

I was single for same length of time and dated an ex colleague earlier in the year. It was absolutely fine, didn’t feel like I had been out of the dating game for so long, and the sex was amazing! Good luck, sure you’ll have no problem finding someone nice

Just try it, I'm also overweight, although I take care of my appearance, wear clothes that flatter my figure. Men I've dated have not cared at all that I'm not a perfect size 10, I'm a 14-16, more a 16. I tend not to go for very slim looking men, just like us they are all sizes.
