Top 20 Dating Tips For Finding Love Again After 50
1. Put in writing what type of relationship you hope to find with a man – both short term and long term.
2. Be committed to spending time daily looking for your Mr. Right, whether online or in the real world.
3. Stop making excuses for not dating. Instead, just go out there and try it!
4. Realize the limiting beliefs you hold about who men are may be keeping you from finding the great guy out there who is waiting for you.
5. Understand there is a difference between what Hollywood teaches you about men and women finding love and reality. Hollywood’s version doesn’t exist!
6. Don’t be overly perfectionistic about men. We all have flaws.
7. Figure out your deal breakers and only take men off your list of possibilities when they possess deal breaker qualities. Otherwise, give a good guy a chance.
8. Get out of your comfort zone and date men who are different than your usual type.
9. Be extraordinary! Show your best side when you date.
10. Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right! Henry Ford said this about developing cars. It’s true for every aspect of your life, including finding good men and dating.
11. Stop having Shiny Penny Syndrome, thinking there is always someone better out there for you. You might miss great guys this way.
12. Never be married to an idea of who a man must be.
13. Know the current dating rules that will make you successful at finding love again after 50!
14. Don’t be too transparent on a first date by revealing all the good, the bad and the ugly about yourself. There’s a time and a place for everything.
15. Go from invisibility to Rock Star Visibility with a great picture and profile online!
16. Be Teflon-coated by knowing some men will like you and some won’t. Let it slide off you, knowing you are one man closer to finding the ONE you are looking for. Sometimes it takes kissing a few frogs along the way to find the one you want.
17. Every date is a learning experience and a chance to meet someone new and interesting.
18. Be courageous and go after your dating dreams.
19. Have a dating strategy in place for finding Mr. Right.
20. Be willing to get dating help and support from friends, family, a therapist or a dating coach. We are all here to help you make your dating journey a success!

Well, I’m 52 and have been alone longer than I care to say. I would love to have a positive attitude about guys and dating, but the odds just aren’t in my favor. I am decent looking for my age, I am not a supermodel. I have tried the online sites and it seems you don’t stand a chance if you’re not a supermodel. Not to mention, the guys on these sites who let you know they just want sex. I feel they would have stayed married if they wanted a relationship. It just seems like a losing battle. I really don’t want to give up because I don’t want or deserve to be alone the rest of my life.
Holly, You are at a great age to have men knocking on your door especially if you want a permanent relationship. A lot of men online want a great relationship with a woman. The issue is….most women can’t see them because these men aren’t the cutest, they aren’t the flirtiest, and they often have the worst picture and profile. Yet, if you got to know them, they could turn out to be fun men who would love to be your “ONE.” Try dating men who aren’t your usual type and see if this makes a difference for you. Thanks for writing Holly.
Hi Lisa,
Thank you for your time and your quick response. I guess some of us women are visual creatures like men. I look at some of these guys and I can’t imagine kissing them, let alone anything more. On the flip side of this story, I have a guy who I have been friends with for quite awhile, whom I have also been attracted to. I don’t think he’s attracted to me. We never had anything between us, although he has maturity issues. It bugs me, bevau
Because we get along so well, but I guess he just doesn’t want anything further.
What a great list of advice. I learned something great from one article which in words is all about perspective. Is it the beginning or the end? If you are 50 and it’s the beginning, then its the start of a brand new adventure. The first day of the rest of your life starts today. If on the other hand, it’s the end, then I guess things will seem a lot harder.
I know which I’d rather choose : )
The other thing I got as well was to dump the baggage from the past. Sometimes easier said than done I know, but if you can enter a new relationship without carrying so much of the past it can be a lot easier.
This article explains it much better than I think I am – maybe you get the gist of it.
