My kids are teenagers, the oldest is in college. I swear I look young,I'm in good shape, have great friends, I'm decently pretty, smart, and have a job I like. I realized recently that I am ready to meet someone, and ultimately would like to be in a long-term relationship (marriage?). I love having a partner, I love having a family. I also love sex, adult conversation, and the mutual support of being in a loving relationship.
So how do I put that into a dating profile? And what are the best apps? Hard no on EHarmony, and although I met some nice guys on Match a couple of years ago, I'm lukewarm about it. Bumble? Tinder?
I enjoy dating, and sex, but again, ultimately want to meet someone. I don't want to imply in my profile that I expect insta-husband/partner, I want to date, with an eye towards a relationship that knocks my socks off. And no, I will not write "looking for a partner in crime" in my profile!!!
So what say you DCUM? (and please, be kind)
I say you should enjoy your time being single and have a good time. Don’t be afraid to post everything stated above on your profile. If someone sees it in your profile, they’ll know exactly what you’re looking for.

I started using the premium version of Bumble (free trial) and noticed that the vast majority of the men swiping right on me are in the 45-49 age range. I'm certain this is because I'm divorced and a mom and most men in their early 30s aren't interested in that (which is fine; I don't want this to derail the thread). My current age limit is 40, but I'm wondering if maybe I should be more open-minded. Anyone want to offer some perspective? BTDT? I'm not dating for marriage so the argument that I will be stuck taking care of an old guy in my 40s doesn't resonate.
Do what makes you happy

On weekends he is exhausted so he sleeps in late and then spends the day zoned out playing video games.
Our sex life has been non existent.
At night I go to bed while husband is up playing video games.
I am so depressed and alone.
Try getting out more with friends
