Could a nearly 40year-old-woman find true love ?

Why not? There are those who find love even at 70! Yes, it's true, I know of a woman who found her true love at age 70. Of course, I wouldn't say you'd find him at 70 either. But definitely, if you just learn to forget about looking and just have fun and welcome people in your life, then that's possible. But, you've got to change some things in yourself. First ask yourself about these things: 1. How do you react when a man approaches you? Some of my friends who have troubles finding Mr. Right always avoid approaches. They feel that they don't know what to do about it, there were even women who were too stressed each time a guy approaches her because she's seeing the future and was afraid how their life would be. Well, that's just wrong. You don't judge a hello from the 'I do'. Stressing would just make things worst. You got to let go of these fears and enjoy the feeling of being approached. 2. How long are your list of ideals? There are those who are immediately turned-off for reasons like the man is not tall enough, too tall, doesn't walk right, smiles a lot, the surname is funny, has a lot of wrong grammar, too shy, too noisy, etc. These ideals tend to make us judge the person from first glance. You see, you can't do that. It's not always 'love at first sight' it has always been 'infatuation at first sight', love comes after all the ideals are forgotten. 3. How do you feel about yourself? Still, there are those who doesn't feel that they earn the right to be happy. They always think that they're not good enough. These tendencies often reflect a person who's negative about things, no one wants to be with someone who can't even trust herself to be happy. 4. Have you gotten over your past relationships? Single women usually find themselves stressed on having a new relationship, only to find out that they aren't ready for it. They compare men, they feel that they'd only get hurt in the end like all the other guys did. Remember, don't judge the person because of your past hurt. Learn from the past and stop living in it. There are a lot of questions really, but those are the basic things I've thought about just now. Remember that life isn't a game on who's going to get married first, who's going to get a handsome man or a rich man, who's the most beautiful. But it's about how you live your life. A person once told me, don't depend your happiness on a person. You should be happy as you are, having someone is just the bonus of things. Confidence would earn you a lot of respect and people would want to be with you if you love yourself most of all. So, don't mope because no one is there as of the moment, just live for today or the present, and see what makes you happy. I say to you, if you know how to love yourself and enjoy life (without hurting others) as well as being open to new friendships (without thinking you'd be married to them someday), life would just be pretty and who knows, maybe your Mr. Right is just around the corner waiting for you.

Hi! I am 41 and still single. I never had a serious relationship with any guy. Before, I would stress about finding the right one, or at least finding somebody who would make me happy. My family, especially my mom, would push me to find someone. Now, I don't stress myself with these thoughts anymore. I am more focused on my career. I am actually happy and content if I think about it. My sister who is married is actually having problems. My married friends also have a lot of problems. I think I'm at a better place at the moment. That is because I believe that if it is meant for me to find a special someone who will complete me, then that will truly happen. I know that will be the same for you. Happy myLotting!

Yes why not. Love has nothing to do with age. you can be a sixty or a hundred year old and still be capable of love others and being loved.There is no harm in waiting for the right person to came along.

there is nothing impossible if you believe. claim it and someone has been planned for you. hope you will meet him soon. nothing to worry.

Have faith my dear and don't give up. A beautiful woman like yourself is sure to find the man of her dreams and will get married. Look for someone that will be honest and trustworthy. Sometimes a younger partner is not the one to look for as they are also looking at the younger people. Good Luck. Crocket.

of-course as long as you decided that you dont want to be single you can definately find love. live your life to the fullest. you get only one chance

You are still quite young and yes you could find true love. I am 52 and I have been single for years. I still date and most...actually all of the men I have dated are younger than me. My current boyfriend...been with for quite a long time now. I love my time with him and yet I have no desire to marry. I really don't see the point....we are happy the way things are and I just as soon keep them that way. I think that you are worrying too much. Just live your life as happily as you can...it's the only one you'll have so make the most of it. You don't want to be 70 and look back and realize that you've spent the last 30 years worrying about how it's going to be when your're old now do you? You are still so young...enjoy yourself.

My personal belief is that when your looking for one thing your looking away from something else. For me, looking for love always comes with some kind of list with criteria attached to it and that is what I become focused on. When I realized this I started to wonder how many times I let "The One" slip by because I was so focused on certain criteria? I stopped looking. And with in a few months at the age of 47 "the one" walked into my heart. Three years later we are still together and very much in love with each other and have a profound respect for one another. I think once you stop looking for it then it will show up and usually from the least expected place.

I think age is secondary in finding a true love. Actual love is something eternal and not bounded by age or look.

Hello Elizabeth if you enjoy to be single,you shall keep the feeling,but if you want to be with someoe,and you still not find anyone is suitalbe for you,you'll have try see maybe there around with you there be someone is waiting for you? i agreed not to married with someone who you do not love,if you do.that is sad because you do not love him,you wont be happy in future. wish you have a good future.

Welcome to the club! I am 45 but we have different opinion. for me, at my age, whats important to me now is just to get attracted to a woman before getting involve with her. I have been inlove before so i guess all i can promise to her is my time and sincerity.

Yes ofcourse, as the saying goes "Age Doesn't Matter". Falling in love don't have any requirements at all. No matter how old you are, as long that both of you know that you love each other, you have to fight for it.

I Think that yes you can find true love. It may not be easy it may seem like it wont happen , but I think it will I 'am one who thinks there is someone out there for everyone !

You might find belong to your happiness truly!Wishes you to succeed!

Oh of course elizabeth. ^_^ As they say, age doesn't matter...when you fall in love..you fall in love. and it doesn't matter if your a teen or an old woman.

Firstly you don't need to be married to be happy. In fact I find a lot of unhappy married people. Secondly I think you can find love at any age at all. My father found a new love when he was 45 and she was 50 years old. Ten years later they have been married for 5 years and are still madly in love with each other. So I do believe you can find love at any age.

Never bother love is lifeee no matter how aged ur....the quetion is u need a parner sme1 who cares u in lifee dont wryyy u will get the best pparner.....All the very veryy best

Anything is possible and no it is never too late to fall in love. Its does not matter how old you are. You do not have to be alone until you die, just remember there is someone for everyone. Hang in there true love will come.

No, of course not, you are not old to find a new love. 40 years old is not old for God sake, you only mature emotionally but not the term old. There are women in the society today who are 40 years old but they don't look old, age is just a number, it's on how you carry and perceived yourself. There's a saying that goes: we are what we think everyday. You can still find true love just keep on praying and everything will just fall into place. Pray to God and Mother Mary always, seek their guidance in your choices and ask them also to give you peace of mind and a clean heart to see the right path to happiness. Goodluck!

I catch myself thinking the same way. I get tired of people saying "Its someone out there for everyone". Then I think where could he be? What I have done is just given up, and let them find me. If its meant to be then you and I both will find our true love. But for now just enjoy yourself because life is to short.
