I got divorced at 35 and dipped my toe into online dating a year or so later. I had a couple of years of fun, meeting lots of interesting people and a few micro-relationships (3months-ish) until I met someone at work and that relationship lasted 2 years.
I'm now 43 and have been single for a while and have been browsing the online profiles again.
Here is my issue. I used to get loads of interest and was never short of a date when I could manage to get out (I'm a single parent without much free time). I'm not shy to initiate conversations online (this was more the norm than the exception) and while not many of them went further than the first date - I always enjoyed the process. Since rejoining I've not been able to get any responses at all. I haven't changed my photos (because I don't look any different) and I haven't changed my profile. The only thing that's changed is my age - which I refuse to lie about.
