Have I left it too late?

I've been single for nearly 8 years, I can't see myself ever meeting anyone now. Various reasons just being a lone parent raising my children alone so not getting time to date. I feel like I've left it too late and no one will want me now. Has anyone dated after such a long time alone? I will be 40 in 5 years and the thought of being alone for the rest of my life now is depressing. Not even had sex since I was late 20s, anyone else in the same boat and do you regret not meeting anyone sooner? I don't even know how to talk to men anymore. Is it possible to meet someone after so long alone?

"I will be 40 in 5 years"

Doesn't sound so bad when you say you're only 5 years past 30 ;)

Again I'm not getting younger though 🤔

Blimey! You are only young ! I'm 52 and I can think of the billions of things I've done and people I've met since I was 35!
Just live life to the full !
