online dating tips, do-over

[flowmom]

I was initially looking for guys plus or minus 5 years of my age. What I've found is that I'm not finding younger guys attractive, esp. if they have been through marriage and becoming parents. I have a growing recognition of wanting to be in a similar life stage in a relationship. Also, I've dated 2 49-year-old men (one is my boyfriend now). Initially I thought that was "too old", but they have both been very attractive, and active and they have the maturity that I'm looking for. Seven years older isn't that much, but I'm used to being with someone also the same age as me so it definitely feels different.
