Are You A Drama Queen?

 

How many times have you seen the words: No Drama Queens Wanted in a man’s profile?

Have you ever wondered if that’s you?

The secret actually lies in these 3 questions you can ask yourself about dating.

Question #1 – Have you taken enough time to heal from your last relationship?

One of the worst things you can do when a relationship ends is to start dating right away.

It’s just not smart because you end up dragging the baggage from the old guy right on over to the new guy.

And you can end up talking and processing about your ex – the good, the bad and the ugly – for the entire date.

This is when a man starts thinking you’re a drama queen versus a good catch.

When a relationship ends, really take some time to heal before you date. Do this by pampering yourself while grieving and processing the old relationship.

Go out with friends, get a manicure or pedicure, go to a new restaurant you’ve wanted to try or take a fun class.

Buy a pretty journal and write your thoughts in it.  I love journaling and have done it daily for years. You’ll find if you consistently write, you can discover a lot about you and the men you date.

This phase can feel really hard as you get used to being by yourself again, but it’s is a great time for getting to know the real you that’s probably been hidden for a while.

Loving yourself totally and completely again sends vibes into the world of a happy, confident and openhearted woman.

This is the woman men are looking to share their life with.

 

Question #2 – Is your dating confidence a negative five or a nine?

Ending a relationship can be brutal.

Ex’s can say things that make you doubt yourself and cause you to forget just how AWESOME you really are.

Make a list of your best qualities and what it is you bring to the dating table.  Once you feel your inner glow coming back, head out and do some fun outer updating.

Try a new lip color, add some highlights to your hair, or buy a beautiful sweater that’s going to bring out the sensual, alive woman you are inside.

Have fun finding things that make you feel good about you!

When you feel good, you’ll get your dating mojo back a lot quicker, and it’s this mojo from your inner and outer glow that men are so unbelievably attracted to in you.

 

Question #3 – Are you ready to flirt and have fun dating?

How long has it been since you flirted?

Probably quite a while, but it’s the best tool you have for getting great guys, whether in real life or online, to notice you.

And it means getting comfortable with feeling uncomfortable. Flirting again over 50 can feel strange.

But it’s your main signal for letting a guy know you’re interested in him, so get out there and start talking and laughing with every man around you whether or not you are interested in them and whether or not you know they are single.

It’s great practice!

 

Before I go, did you know that I’m a contributor at Vibrant Nation? If you aren’t already familiar with the website, it’s a fantastic online magazine geared to the joys and concerns of women over 45.

They sent me one of the best pairs of reading glasses I’ve ever had and I just had to tell you about it!

(Full disclosure: I was sent the glasses with the hopes that I would tell you my honest opinion of them. I was not paid to endorse them. I am happy to to share this with you because they really are great!)

I’m the type person who looses reading glasses like it’s my job. I have them everywhere in my house but can never find a pair when I need them. Sound familiar?

Anyway these reading glasses  are part of the Borghese line from Icon Eyewear.

I love how well I see with them!

I was heading toward needing a 2.0 prescription in other readers but with these, I see perfectly with a 1.75.

And they look expensive, so it surprised me when I found out CVS carries them.  I think I’m heading over there today to get another pair and  from now on I’ll always know where these babies are.

Let me know if you end up trying them out, and of course I’d love to hear your drama queen stories!

Until next time~

Believing in You!
