possible but surely people in their mid 40's are going to feel even worse than people in their twenties ?
simply they have suffered more, had more rejections and felt lonely for a longer period of time.
No I don't believe that to be true. Someone can suffer and feel pain just as much at the age of 24 as they could do at the age of 40.
Someone at the age of 40 might have gotten used to being alone, or they might not have put themselves in situations to be rejected by as much as the 24 year old.
Everyone is an individual, so it is all relative to their life and their feelings regardless of age or time.
Its not age that is the factor.. thats not what he meant. Its time.
At 24 you havent had alot of time as a muture adult to come to conclusions.
Its like sitting down at a restaurant and feeling like because the waitress hasnt taken your order within 5 mibs.. that shes neve going to come and the owner must hate me!
Well how do you know the 24 year old might have experienced a lot more than the 40 year old? The 24 year old might throw themselves into more situations and have way more experience of rejection or pain than the 40 year old. The truth is you don't know, everyone is different and shouldn't be judged on by time or age
Blimey I'm so politically correct - all you age-ists out there! (Maybe it is because I am 25?!):club:

Well with a little debate here I'd like to point out I was very upset when I started this thread. I've never had a relationship before and feel so unable to find anyone, alongside coping with my mental health issues.
Everybodys different I guess
I understand it is hard when you have mental health issues on top of everything else...dating or finding someone is so hard these days.
Have you tried online dating?
