My 3 Top Dos and Don’ts For Single Women Looking for Mr. Right After 50
Don’t do this . . .
A big obstacle to finding love after 50 happens when you’re NOT putting yourself in places where you can be seen and found by available men on a DAILY BASIS!
Men can’t find you when you’re hiding every night at home.
I know it feels great after a long day at work to snuggle up with a good book, your fave TV show, or your cat or dog for some unconditional loving.
But you need exposure to men, whether in person or online, and it’s not happening if this is your nightly routine.
No one is going to know you’re even available and even worse, they can’t find you.
Do…
Start going out at night and on the weekends.
Go to restaurants with friends. Men are always there.
Take classes that men might like as well. A great example is golfing.
What man doesn’t love improving his golf swing and now they can do it year-round at indoor and outdoor driving ranges.
Go to places like the library.
Men are there checking out books and movies every day.
The thing is single men are everywhere.
All you have to do is make sure you’re in places where the two of you can meet.
Don’t…
Have a vision that is too narrow when it comes to the kind of men you are willing to date.
Ask most women what they want in a man and a type similar to Richard Gere’s character in “Pretty Woman” comes to mind.
He’s rich, sassy, and has a heart.
He’s gorgeous but he’s also a made-up movie romance.
Do…
Stay open to dating all kinds of men with all kinds of looks, backgrounds, and interests as long as they are economically self-sufficient, meaning they can hold their own and won’t be financially dependent on you.
Of course, it’s nice to think of having a rich handsome man sweep you off your feet but what you really want is a man who is going to be there for you through the ups and the downs of this journey called life.
That man is a keeper!
Don’t…
Give up on dating after one or even five bad dates!
There is no doubt about it, without the right skill set and support in place, dating can be hard.
That’s why I teach women all the time how to create a Dating Blueprint.
It gives them a clear vision of their next step for finding love after 50.
Just remember you don’t have to take a giant step to get out of dating frustration.
One baby step forward can inspire and motivate you to keep moving forward towards your dreams.
Do this instead…
Dating has a learning curve just like every new endeavor does.
Be persistent and consistent by having a plan in place for meeting quality men.
Have fun meeting new and interesting men.
If they aren’t a romantic interest, consider making them your friend.
And instead of quitting when a date goes bad, chalk it up as being one man closer to the “One” you are looking for.
He’s out there waiting for you!

Couple of things – at least for women in their late 60’s/early 70’s–
– you need to be more interesting; most of the women I’ve met recently are dull, really dull. And you exhibit little to no energy.
– and you need to be better read (books, newspapers and the like) and know something about what is going on in the world, depressing as some of it is.
– and don’t be so afraid of everything; for example, wandering around Paris is fun and the French people are very nice – at least to me. SCUBA diving (for example) is also fun —-
– as you probably know by now, dating websites are mostly bullshit – having lots of profiles is meaningless as few of them are actual members. Waste your money if you wish, but don’t expect much.
Spending 30 minutes for coffee with some of you is exhausting; could not imagine crawling into bed with you and holding you close, for the rest of my life!
Why would men want to spend time with you – any time? Ask yourself that question.
Vito…Your comments are interesting because I often hear the same thing about men from women. Men are couch potatoes, can’t hold a decent conversation, not sexually attracted, etc. From years of doing this work, I’ve found both men and women try and choose a partner based on things that don’t ultimately matter for the long haul of a relationship. Everyone’s looks are going to fade as is chemistry. It’s just not sustainable. What does count are the values the two of you share and how you feel around each other. Make sense?
