Finding Love at Middle Age: Throw Away Your List
If you're having trouble finding love at middle age, throw away your list.
If you're having trouble finding love at middle age, throw away your list.
Let’s start a movement called the unfun daters where we treat our dates like potential life partners instead of bottom feeders.
When I was widowed, I couldn't stop thinking I was doing it wrong. But all we really have to do is to stop judging our own grieving.
To be widow is to be a shape shifter. We move through different phases redefining ourselves after our loss.
It took an archaic husband-hunting manual for me to stop I settling for less than I wanted.
I was shocked at all the criticisms I received from men when I started dating in middle age. Instead of taking them to heart, I should have just walked away.
I finally realized that many middle aged daters were living in the past. Dating was an exercise in revenge against the people who’d failed them.
My quarantine resolution: to reconcile with gratitude. Otherwise, it’s too hard to live with someone this bitter.
I wanted someone who was invested, and that meant caring about what I cared. A dead air conditioner showed me I'd found the right person.
I found love and learned not settle when I was 55 at one of the saddest points since my husband died. Don’t give up hope.
