agewise? acceptable dating ages

[melissamstanford42]

right so my mum who is in her late 60s says i should go to the pub or out clubbing to find a partner. i don't mind her encouragement that i'm "young" or younger than her and i should be out socialising but i don't think i'll find many men my age there.

thinking about it, it's not that i'm too old but they're probably too young, and although i had a toyboy before having children, young adults are fun (as i was one once) but entering into a serious or long-term relationship with one is all about how others see it.

i believe in love but there are age barriers in experience and how the future is seen when a couple are different ages. espeacially when children are involved and the prospect partner is young enough to be a son or daughter. i don't know... if i'm thinking about myself, my children, my future, my health or the young man who said he liked me!

i'd really like feedback on this subject...
