Have you reached that stage in your life where you feel time is passing you by and you are beginning to wonder if you will ever find that special someone to share your hopes and dreams with? Everyone around you seems to be happily going about their lives in a loving relationship and you just can' t understand why you are not in that situation. So if you desperately want answers to the question "show me how to get a boyfriend now I am over 40" then you need to read on.

Let me ask you a question? Are you sure you are in the mood for dating? Sounds silly, I know, but you have to imagine that you ARE actually dating and convince yourself that you are beautiful, sexy and interesting, so much so that any guy would be a fool not to ask you out. Learn to love yourself and you will project an image of a happy, confident woman that guys want to find out more about.

Now to become this confident, attractive women, invest in some pampering, whether it be in the form of a new haircut, new clothes or treat yourself to a luxurious spa treatment. Any of these things will help improve your confidence and build up your self esteem.

Throw away those old grey knickers and invest in some lovely matching lingerie. You don' t have to spend a fortune, but look for a bit of colour and satin and then make a point of wearing it to work. There is something very sexy about walking around in your everyday clothes, knowing that beneath all of that lies some killer undies.

Try analysing yourself and pick out what are your best features and what ones are not so good. Then start working on the good points and putting them to use. Look at the not so good features and try and find ways that you could improve in those areas. Over time this will help build your confidence and go a long way towards portraying a confident, sexy woman that men find intriguing and want to date.
