I have a job and a wife and am middle class, so I hope my question isn't perceived as Whinerfilter - I am, for the most part very fortunate. Are there examples of people turning it around at 40?

How can I find/identify people who are open to dating rather than just hookups? I'm interested in dating, but I'm not interested in hookups or one-night stands. It's difficult for me to find guys who are on the same page. [more inside]
