I ask myself this same question, especially since I have been married 34 years, my husband walked out of our marriage almost 2 years ago. Many months later, and 5 online dating sites too, with rude, disrespcectful men on these sites, not sure if I can ever date again. At age 57 years old, in shape, petite, outgoing, well traveled, served 10 years in the Navy, both active and reserves, I am having a hard time thinking men are worthy of me. While married for over 3 decades and haven’t dated anyone since 1979, and married in 1980, I am lost too, when it comes to measuring if I want to even try to date. The men my age on these sites, have names like major orgasm, or the like, or say “do you like sex, or nice body”. Really? Not!
When you have gone through the trauma of abandonment, it will take many years to trust again. For now, I just want to enjoy being my self, learning what I like, go where I want to, and not answer to anyone else, deal with anyone else’s issues and maybe, one day, the person I will meet will be standing there in front of me, and we can strike up a friendship and companionship.
