I'm 39 & divorced. I get asked out but I keep comparing them to my ex. Idk why either. Am I too old to find love again? I'm very lonely. I don't think I'm bad looking either. Not that that's what matters of course. I have a great support group of family & friends. But I was happy being a wife & mother. The boys are grown now & doing their own thing. They don't need mamma like they used to. Everything I look up about loneliness tells me too find a hobby,join a group,take a trip,ect. I read as a hobby,but im never gonna meet new people sitting home & reading. I've joined this group & it helps some. I can't afford a trip somewhere. I don't do dating sites at all. I guess I'm still old school enough that I don't trust just anybody,especially someone online that I know nothing about. I'm tired of being alone & ready to move forward. But I'm not sure how really. I want to love again,but it's hard to open up to new people & open up to them romantically. What do I do? I will admit I have a small fear of being alone. I wish I knew why. But all I know is I do. Anyone have any advice?

No, you're not too old. My mum has just started dating someone after 27 years on her own and she's 78.
My sister-in-law has recently found love at 42 on a dating site.
If you enjoy reading, do you have any reading / book groups near you? We have one in our village where they choose a book to read and meet every second week to discuss it...

There's a lot of dating time left 
But be aware, a lot of dating stuff is done online now, and you will be restricting your options.
Finding clubs, and common interests can be done with an app/site called meetme, your local council should have activities listed on website, libraries and local papers often have info too on groups.
