Dating over 40 has not been what I thought it would be. I am now in my mid 40's and wishing that my love life were more stable. It has never been stable. I am a model and have traveled the world on many a photo shoot. The traveling has been rough on my love life. I have dated many handsome men when I was a younger lady, but I never let any of them get close to offer a proposal of marriage. My modeling career was just too important to me.

I modeled long enough to retire, and now I own my agency. I love my job. I love being able to help young aspiring models into a career. However, now that my life is more stable and I am not traveling the world, I find that there is something missing. I tried to date some of the men in the industry but find that they are not entirely humble about themselves. I even tried to let some of my friends hook me up with some of the guys they knew, only to run into the same problem.

I was looking for a man who was confident, not arrogant. He also had to be ambitious, smart and funny. I did not think these qualities would be so hard to find in a guy. So, I decided to try an online dating site for single men and women dating over 40. The advertisements I have seen around got me thinking that maybe I needed to try another approach to dating. I visited the most reputable site I had heard about, and found it did not take long to fill out all the information they needed. I had thought that they would ask more questions about the type of man I was looking to meet.

When I got matched up with Tony I could not believe that the site had got everything so spot on. He was handsome, educated, and successful. In a nutshell, he was everything that I was looking for. I just wanted to thank online dating for doing what I could not. I never expected to fall in love after I turned 40.
