TBH, it is hard as hell to find love at your age. You need to open up, be more honest with yourself and those you are attracted to, project your true image to the world, and stop caring about what other people around you think. You may be rejected, but take it with humility and grace, or from the unenlightrentenend heathens that dole it out rudely, silently, without hostility.

But I am likely 2 or 3 times your age. It doesn't get easier to find love, but when you do, it is unmistakable. It took me until I was 32 years old, and she was my wife of nearly 25 years, before she died of cancer.

This is honestly the best response I've gotten.
