Dating is hard enough, what with all that leg-shaving and awkward small talk. It’s even harder for those who are older and who thought they’d never have to live through another terrible first date again.
Luckily, we’ve found some hilarious tweets from middle-aged folks who totally understand your struggles.
U think sneaking around behind ur parents' backs when dating in high school is hard?Try sneaking around behind ur kids' backs in middle-age.

The great joy of dating a middle aged man in early middle age is he likes to stay in as much as I am starting to want to.

I'm discovering that dating in middle-age is a lot like high school: often awkward & disappointing.

Getting ready for a date- first in years - pimples?! Really? At least wrinkles hide them.

Dating after 40 is easy. It's like riding a bike, but the bike is on fire & the ground is on fire, everything is on fire cos you're in hell.

Dating in middle age is Dante's first ring of hell.

Dating in middle age is a bit like Terminal 5 at Heathrow. Too much baggage to handle. #datingtips #DatingSux

Ahhh the pleasures of middle aged dating! No romantic words this morning, just a text saying 'I passed a stone last night!!' Hahahaha

I think Naomi Judd said it best about getting older - you need less makeup and more underwear. Sigh.
