From the perspective of an 80-year-old who has been through numerous "serious" relationships, and finally found my match at the age of 55, you seem to be unusually mature. Best of luck in your adventures -- and don't be desperate. Even a relationship with a finite lifetime can be incredibly rewarding, you will definitely develop relationship "skills" that will make the next one even better, and when you find someone with as good an attitude as yours, you have a good shot at a lifetime together.
