Hi, I’m Tasha and I’m a 50-year-old black woman who is looking for love. Yes, you heard me right. I’m not too old, too black, or too anything to find my soulmate. And I’m here to share my journey with you on this blog.

You might be wondering why I decided to start dating again at this stage of my life. Well, the truth is, I was married for 25 years to a man who turned out to be a cheater and a liar. He left me for a younger woman and took half of everything I worked hard for. I was devastated, angry, and depressed. I felt like I had wasted my best years on someone who didn’t deserve me.

But then I realized that I still had a lot to offer and a lot to live for. I have two beautiful grown-up children who support me and love me unconditionally. I have a successful career as a lawyer that gives me financial independence and satisfaction. I have a great circle of friends who make me laugh and have fun. And most importantly, I have myself. I have learned to love myself and appreciate my strengths and flaws.

So I decided to put myself out there and see what the dating world has to offer. And let me tell you, it’s been quite an adventure. I’ve met some interesting men, some good, some bad, some ugly. I’ve had some hilarious dates, some romantic dates, some disastrous dates. I’ve learned a lot about myself and what I want in a partner.

And guess what? I think I’ve found him. His name is James and he’s a 52-year-old black man who works as a teacher. He’s smart, funny, kind, and handsome. He makes me feel alive and happy. He respects me and treats me like a queen. He’s everything I ever dreamed of and more.

We met online on a dating site for mature singles. We clicked right away and had a great conversation. We decided to meet for coffee and we hit it off instantly. We had so much in common and so much chemistry. We exchanged numbers and started texting and calling each other every day. We went on several dates and each one was better than the last.

Last week, he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. I’m so excited and nervous at the same time. I feel like a teenager again. But I also feel like a grown woman who knows what she wants and deserves. I’m ready to start a new chapter of my life with him.

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post and that it inspired you to never give up on love. No matter your age, race, or background, you deserve to be happy and loved. And remember, it’s never too late to find your soulmate.
