Sometimes it seems to me that society still believes in the fairy tale that true love is only for the young. As if after 40 everything is already “behind us”. But I am a living example of the fact that this is a myth.
After forty, we stop looking for the ideal. We know who we are, what we want, and what we definitely will not tolerate. We learn to love not out of fear of being alone, but out of deep respect for ourselves and our partner. And this makes love at this age especially mature, honest and beautiful!
Yes, we already have a history: children, former relationships, sometimes pain and disappointment. But does this prevent us from loving? On the contrary. We know how to listen, feel, appreciate. We do not build illusions, but we know how to dream. We do not chase passion for show, because we are looking for warmth and depth.
And yes, ladies over 40 are shown signs of attention. They invite you on dates. At this age, you can feel butterflies in your stomach again. And even if it's all a little different than at 20. But this is also love! Just adult, conscious, with a good taste for life. Love after 40 is not a remainder or a compromise. This is a chance for real happiness, which we have finally arrived at. Not in spite of age. But thanks to it!
