I’m nearly 41, but I really look really young, about 27, which creates some problems. Younger women don’t want to date an older man, and older women don’t want to date someone that looks as if he could be their son. That alone creates issues.
Also, I have a daughter that is 17 and will be going to college in a year and a son at home who is 13. The odds are stacked against me……
Does anyone have some useful tips???

Her’s a tip….you are making this way to complicated. (are you an engineer?)
Just date, have fun and don’t give a rats-@ss what anyone thinks. There are single babes everywhere that love to go out and have a good time (hell, I’m 50 and still get dates!). Just don’t analize life so much.
It’s hard to meet nice people sometimes. You might try doing a personal ad. That way you can see what others have to offer and they can learn a little bit about you.
just be your self ! and enjoy your freedom once again
Im 19… and am very attracted to older men. But the fact that you have a 17 year old daughter does im sure throw the younger girls off… Not that you would be interested in a 19 year old anyways.
stay single play the field,the right one will show up,just watch out I’m a 50 male too, all i can find are the ones that use me for money,remember age does not matter if you care for each other,if a lady don’t care for kids stay away from her she will just use you anyway
May I ask you a question.
Well i guess i have to…
To be honest i dont really get your question but if you are talking about dating a younger man,Why dont you ask you self if really you need him depend on what you want from him.
If you want a to be with a younger man the first thing you should know is that the society will oppose this so why dont you take a chance because you may find him more appealing and interesting,though he might not be as mature in handling things as you may want him too,If you can tolerate him why dont you follow your heart..
But if you have the fear of God in you and know that this is wrong do what is right.
As for me if i am in your shoes,I would go for someone that is more mature but if the younger man is matured enough thats fine because age is just a number.
It’s taken me 10 years to get back into the dating scene and one thing I can definitely tell you is to be sure of yourself. See yourself as you want others to see you. Be confident – remember you are not here to prove yourself to your “date”. You’ve nothing to prove – be happy in yourself! You’ll have hits and misses don’t blame yourself…..just try again.
Finally, try just getting out there, go for a coffee, get out with friends, try Parents Without Partners, join a gym, the only odds against you are self imposed….you’ll be fine! Good luck!
Just be honest and let it flow.
