Advice from men welcome - Aging Issues Message Board

I'm a 45 year old female (everyone says I look younger) not overweight, been told I am very attractive, very sharp dresser and have a good personality. I work for a large cooperation made up mostly of men.(I am an assistant to one of the top executives). I haven't dated in 8 years due to a very bad experience. I would like to have the companionship of a male but it seems that no one is interested. In all of the time I have worked for the company (4 years) NO ONE has ever asked me out.

Okay men and women- any advice for the dateless 43 year old?

Maybe you should be the pursuer. If you're interested in a man, pursue him; you know, casual talk, keep the conversations frequent and then ask him over for coffee, a drink etc. What do you think??? I'm really not so good at this sort of advice, but that's just what I'd do.

I think you should be more agressive. You should really try to put in that extra punch.

Since you work for the "boss" other employees may think of you as "off limits".

Try joining some non-employment groups of interest that have male members.

Thanks GINE2D

I have been told that by one other person-I try to be friendly from the President of the company to the janitor. Also I can take some of the blame- for so many years since the last relationship, I have been wrapped in my own little world and it was like I saw men but really didn't (if that makes sense)I feel like I'm coming back to life again and maybe that will make a difference in how I act or how I am perceived.
