Is 38 too old to be dating again?

I have been married for a long time and there is a big possibility I would get a divorce and move on. I do have kids. My question is that I get nervous that I will never find a woman who wants to be with a 38 year old man. I may be considered too old. I am in and excellent physical shape. I am pretty decent looking. I make great money and have a good personality(I think anyways). But I always feel women will not want to date guys who are my age. i been with this woman since I was 18 so I really don't know what goes on out there.

I tried working on my marrige. It just is not working. I am not staying because I am affraid I won't find a date. I was just curious how it is out there. It is like someone dumps you in another city and you have to figure out what to do. Dating is very new. Who knows I may even like it. Thank you all for your help/advice.

never too old to date and find happiness!!

**It always amazes me how negative ppl are on here. You gave your marriage a try, you did you best, you are ready to move on with your life. Whats hard to understand about that?? Go date, go be happy, go find some one who will compliment you and enhance your life! :P
Let the negative stuff go in one ear and out the other.

ok well staying with your wife because your scared you wont get someone is what scum bags do ..if you wanna leave her leave her but dont stay cos your worried you wont get other ***...and also why wouldnt women want to date a guy your age? your going to find other 38 year women what do you think your going to go out and get a 25 year old woman???...LOL i fear you might be doing this for the wrong reasons.

38, are you kidding? You're in your prime.

I've been dating guys your age for about 15 years now. My first husband was 37 when we married, my 2nd was 38 when we married, and my 3rd husband is 37 now. 38 is a wonderful age to date. Don't worry.

maybe if you were interested in 18 year olds, but if you're looking for women your age, then you'll most likely find someone that's looking for you too. try working out things with your wife, though. Marriages always have rocky times, you guys were obviously in love at one point, try finding it again. Maybe go to couples counseling so you guys can learn to communicate effectively (sometimes people come off as angry sounding or demanding, when they dont mean to be, which hurts feelings). Don't give up on your wife.

38 is not old at all...think of the people that are getting divorced at 60 and trying to start over!! GOOD LUCK!!


Life ain't always easy
Im 27...getting married next week...he is 40. I seriously dont think you have to worry about your age. It's just a number. However, do please try to work on your marriage before giving in to a divorce.

well baby i think you are qwondering to much in the wrong way. im not trying to judge, but i think you should stay with your wife, and stay happy with her. where is she anyways? are you looking for a young woman to just have on the side instead just being with your wife? you think you are slick dont you.?you want to see if some young woman is interrested in a 38 year old, and you want them to know that you have a lot of money. come on baby get real, woman are way more smarter that men in ways. if you are married, you have no reason asking this question on this computer with all these people. now go kiss your wife and tell her you love her.

Not at all. At 38 I met a wonderful man and we are currently engaged. I was out of the dating scene for a while as well. Just be yourself and take your time. You can find someone.

the first thing would be figuring out WHY you divorced after being with someone long enough to have kids, AND NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN.
You have kids, you have to think of THEM before you decide to date, they come first, they didn't decide to leave, they are blood.
SO, I'd love to know, why would you walk away from someone you've been with since you were 18?
Because your children.....will hate you.
take it from someone who knows.
yeah, you can date at 38, or at any age, really, it's just the baggage you carry with you that will hurt any relationship you have afterwards.

You need to sit down and evaluate all the reasons you are considering leaving your wife. Think about how your children will feel and consider all of the negative things that come with a divorce.

If you are geniunely unhappy and feel that leaving your wife is the absolute best thing to do (after considering ALL of the outcomes of a divorce), then you should know that there is no age that is considered "too old" for dating.

On any given dating site, you can find people of all ages, even elderly, searching for love. Being 18 or 38 doesn't determine how much you can care for someone else, or how much you will be able to love someone.

Where you might come into problems is what happens during a divorce. Since children are involved, there will be child support. You might have to have a huge settlement with your current wife. Many people struggle financially after a divorce. There are a lot of things to consider, but no, I don't believe you are too old to be dating again.

38 is a great age, my dear! Yes, there are plenty of women who would love to meet a great guy. Not 18 yr old <girls>, but definitely <grown women> in their 30s & 40s.

I think thats a good age especially if you are getting a divorce. My uncle is dating and he's far older than you! Keep your confidence level up, there will be another woman for you!

There are women of all ages out there that are single. I don't think you'll have a problem meeting a new woman.

I'm 37 and still dating. I know people in their 50's who're dating... and I know people in their early teens who're dating.

There's no age limit to it. You just need to find someone who's going to be into you for ... well, being you - your age doesn't really factor into it all THAT much.

... sounds like you need more self confidence than anything else.

There is no such thing as too old. There are single ladies out there feeling the same way so just go out and be ur self and find somebody that makes you happy. Your kids may not like it at first but they will learn that ur happiness is whats important.


LB
If the only thing keeping you in your marriage is your fear of being alone, well that's just sad. The truth is there are many many people your age who are getting divorced and dating again. They're out there. Men and women. If you choose to date again, you won't have a problem.
