is it too late for me now

too late to make something of my life and find a female partner for companionship? someone on my previous post said i'm 'getting up there in years now'....and i was concerned time is running out for me? i'm now 47 years old.

i have had a hard adult life but my childhood was wonderful, unfortunately i missed out on so much...because of my hardships and mental struggles...missed out on having a job, meeting people, having fun, having a girlfriend and many other things in life....i did have quite a few flings with girls but never a relationship.

anyway what do you think? i realise i'm getting up there in years but is it truly over for me?

47 is not too late. Not by a long shot.

You’ve been through pain and setbacks, and that matters. It shapes you—but it doesn’t define your future. Having a hard adult life doesn’t cancel your potential. If anything, it gives you a kind of wisdom and depth that can make meaningful relationships more real!
What someone said about your age might’ve hurt—but don’t let it shrink your vision. You’re still here. That means your story isn’t over.

You may be focusing upon the wrong parts. I am 47 and don't want to date. Yet those in their 60s, 70s mix and mingle and find a partner. I hate saying this, but often it's about attitude, if you say no one wants you, no one does.

No excuses now. You are an adult and your life is what it is.. Decide first who you need to be and be that person (this may take a while) Once you have done that yoiu will know what you need in a partner and know what you have to offer in return.. It is too late to start over from clay.. But its never too late to start again from where you are..😷
