My recent experience
So for background I’m a 56 male from Southern England.
I broke up with my partner last year after being together for five years.
I met my ex on a dating app.
I’ve recently returned to these apps but my experience is quite different from previously.
Last time I got quite a bit of interest and met a number of potential partners.
This time I’m really struggling, fewer matches and the dates I’ve been on have been fairly disastrous!
Obviously I’m 5 years or so older but I think I’m ok for my age, happy to be told different! I’m also revised the age up of potential matches so I’m not looking for some thirty year old beauty queen!
Have other men and women had similar experiences or am I just being unlucky currently?
