Where nobody -- but everybody -- looks their age.

This is a place to ask questions in order to receive advice regarding your dating and relationships over 40 (not marriage or marriage-equivalent relationships); it is not a place to look for dates or mates. We intend to be positive about dating, sex, and relationships over 40, and that includes being positive or at least civil towards all genders and life stages.
