Older guys that are single, what type of woman are you looking for?
I'm just wondering because I am an older woman. I was married for a long time and about 7 yrs. ago got divorced. Ive dated here and there since then but cant seem to find the guy that I am compatible with. I admit I dont go out too much and dont know really where to go to meet someone. I do think if its meant to be it will just happen whether I'm at work, in the grocery store or where ever I may be. I am a good person with a big heart and I am independent as I have always been that way. I believe in relationships being 50/50. I am 5'3" brunette with hazel eyes and not too skinny and not fat. I walk for exercise...just love walking, so I try to stay fit and my job is somewhat physical so that too keeps me in shape. I do carry a lot of confidence and I know what I want and I stick to my guns....Im not wishy washy by any means. So with that said, do you think you would want to approach me or do you think someone would want to approach me? Just curious....thanks.

Weighs less than me
I know it does not sound like much to ask for but it seems almost impossible to find all these qualities in one person.

"...if its meant to be it will just happen..."
That's a half truth. You always have to be watching for signals. No guy is going to walk up to you and tell you that you are soul mates.
You can chat up any guy in line next to you at any store for a couple minutes. If you feel some positive energy, you ask if he would like to continue the conversation for a bit at the coffee shop down the street. Then you have your coffee date which can be 15-45 minutes.
You said "not skinny, not fat." Well, you better get more on the skinny side because you have to compete with younger women for the good men.
A relationship is not supposed to be 50-50. It's supposed to be 90-10 in many different ways and different situations. You are emotional, he is stable. You are affectionate, he is strong. He is funny and you are sweet.
"...I know what I want and I stick to my guns..." Honey, that's a red flag because it means you don't compromise. Guess what? If you are 20 years old or 60 years old, you still make compromises in relationships. You aren't perfect, so don't expect a guy to be perfect. You have to allow 10-15% for flaws that you are willing to put up with for another 40 years. You have 10-15% flaws yourself. If you can find a guy who is 85% perfect, you better get your claws into him and hang on tight. You aren't getting any younger.
Go on as many coffee dates as possible. You will develop a screening process to spot the good guys and dismiss the bad guys.
