Notes from the podcast:

Dating after 50 can feel daunting, especially when society bombards us with messages that youth is the zenith of desirability. But finding your forever man at this stage in life is not just a possibility; it’s a journey that can be embarked upon with dignity, wisdom and a bit of strategic know-how. Here are seven essential steps to navigate the dating world after 50 and find the love that you deserve.

Step 1: Radiating Feminine Confidence

The first hurdle many women face is a loss of confidence, often believing that age diminishes their value. The key is to lean back, allowing space for your man to step forward and ensuring you do not invest more emotionally than he does. Embrace the concept of being a high-value woman, where your inherent worth is amplified by your uniqueness and the scarcity of what you offer. Celebrate your imperfections—they are what make you, you.

Step 2: Create Your Love Vision

After experiencing divorce or heartbreak, it’s easy to become cynical. Counteract this by crafting a clear vision of what you want in a partner. This isn’t about drafting a lengthy wishlist but about defining a short, prioritized list of qualities that are truly important to you. Remember, each encounter and so-called rejection is a step towards clarity, refining what you seek in a relationship.

Step 3: Start Meeting Quality Men

Gone are the days of hoping to meet someone at a nightclub. Instead, adopt a “Social Starfish” mentality—be open, approachable, and ready to engage. Position yourself as the prize to be won, maintaining a playful demeanor that makes you memorable. First impressions matter, so focus on being engaging, listening actively, and expressing genuine curiosity.

Step 4: Qualifying Your Dating Options

Adopt a qualifier mindset. Look for men who demonstrate high value through their actions and words. Communication about relationship intentions is crucial—don’t be afraid to express yours and inquire about his.

Step 5: Pace the Progression of Your Connections

Resist the rush. Moving slower than he might want can help avoid the pitfalls of casual relationships or “situationships.” Remember, having sex is an emotional investment. If exclusivity isn’t fully established, assume he may be dating other women. Valuing yourself and pacing the physical aspect of your relationship can ensure that you’re both on the same page about its seriousness.

Step 6: Setting Boundaries for a Committed Relationship

Establishing boundaries is critical for any committed relationship. This includes clearly communicating your needs, beliefs, expectations, and the space you both require. The first significant boundary? Commitment. Have open conversations about your relationship status, ensuring both parties clearly understand and agree on being exclusive.

Step 7: Align the Relationship with a Shared Vision

Finally, for a relationship to last, it’s essential to grow together, maintaining the initial spark while deepening your connection. Be open about your desires, fears, and expectations. Work together to align your visions for the future, ensuring both partners are committed to a shared path forward.

Embracing the Journey

Dating after 50 is not about settling for less but understanding more deeply what love and partnership means to you. It’s a time to embrace your experiences, wisdom, and desires, embarking on a journey to find someone who not only complements your life but enriches it. Follow these steps, and open your heart to the possibilities that await. Love doesn’t have an age limit, and your forever man may be just around the corner.

I’ve really learned a lot listening to you over the last few months. I am a confident 66-year-old divorced woman. My husband was seven years younger than me. All my life I have been around people much younger than you. My closest friends are in their 40s, so they are over 20 years younger than me. I met without any strings attached guys who were 10 or even 15 years younger than me. so when I met Tony at the gym, I wasn’t that interested in him. He’s six months older than me. His father came from the country where… Read more »

What do you think of an older gentleman who still uses his last girlfriend to babysit his dog so he can do appointments, when he has a current girlfriend he says he’s in love with? They also were brother and sister in law before his brother died.
