BEL MOONEY: I'm 28 and desperate to find love with a sexy older woman...

but I can't find one By Bel Mooney Published: 11:44, 21 September 2024 | Updated: 11:44, 21 September 2024 e-mail View comments Dear Bel, I am 28 and single – a university ­graduate with a professional job. I have my own apartment in a nice neighbourhood, I am not a slob nor do I play ­computer games at night. I am good-looking, in good physical shape and not insecure.

I have a sense of humour, can laugh at myself and am adventurous. I binge-read instead of binge-drinking. I’m well dressed, ­tattoo-free and devoid of any piercings and will be until eternity.

I have good manners, listen when ­people speak, but feel a bit shy around strangers. Oh, and I don’t lie unless I’m trying not to hurt someone. I’ve only had one relationship with a woman my own age and that was solely because I had a crush on her (unfortunately) happily-married mother.

Drawn to older women, I find those over 45 extremely appealing. I have had three long affairs with older, ­married women and I can attest to the anguish that is caused when you fall in love with someone who has already been taken. This not a kink or a fetish with me.

I just find a type of self-assured, elegant and beautiful woman to be my ideal. This isn’t new; it’s always been the case since I was a teenager. My drawback is that I am not yet at my peak earning age.

I can barely afford to pay rent after all my normal expenses are taken out. I don’.
