How to Meet Men Over 50: Do Keep Your Date Pipeline Filled with Dates

Keep Your Date Pipeline Filled with Date with Quality Single Men Over 50!

Lady, if you're a single lady over 45 or 50 and you're looking to meet and date men over 50 with an eye towards a long term relationship, a life partner or mate, then you'll want to follow this sage advice of mine from the early years of my top award winning Over 50 Dating and Relationship Advice blog.

Practical Coaching for Women to Meet and Date Relationship-Minded Men Over 50

Ladies, get OUT and meet more men.  This is best way actually to GET MORE DATES.
How many men did you flirt with this week?
How many men did you speak with this week?
In line at Starbucks?



 Or were you too aloof to notice Mr. Financial District next to you?
Too snobby to chat up Mr. Blue Collar ordering the Grande Drip, black?

 
I date a LOT because I make an effort to meet a lot of men.
I also REALLY LIKE men.
I feel they can FEEL that about me.

 
I appreciate them.  I admire them.  And I am very accepting of them that they are very visually stimulated and think about sex every 3.7 nano seconds.  Wow!  Aren’t you grateful that they do that?  It just means they think about it more than you do, and I am SO glad that they ARE thinking about it more than I.  Or things would just be too, too, too terribly embarrassing, n’est pas?



How about yourself?  Do you really LIKE men?  Sure, you’re heterosexual (if you made it this far through my website, I’m just going out on a limb here that THAT is the case…..).  You are sexually and romantically attracted to men.  But do you really LIKE them?



Check your thinking.
Do you catch yourself thinking to yourself or saying to your GFs, “Ugh!  Men are such Jerks!”  Or “Ogh!  Men are such idiots.”  Mhmm.  Of course they can be.  And I can be a bitch and a shrew, thank you, but I’m hoping it’s not your predominate thought about me.



I want you to do me a favor and start saying to yourself every morning while you are happily brushing and flossing your teeth (you are flossing, right?  Be YOUR Best YOU!  Flossing is part of it.  Uh huh. OK, we’re good.), “MEN are WONDERFUL!”  Say it.  MEAN it.  Say it SMILING (easier to brush and floss while you’re smiling….). Say it with ENTHUSIASM.  Toss your head with your dazzling smile as you say it, “Men are WONDERFUL!”



Practical Dating Over 50 Tip to Help You Notice What to Appreciate in Men

And then during the day, give yourself a little challenge.  Strive to NOTICE all the wonderful things men are doing around you.  Keep note of them.  Then at night, go write them down.  Keep a pretty femmy fabulousity journal.  Have a section on “Things I Admire About Men!”  Things for which you are grateful.



Note: Jan 2019 Obviously, I wrote this article back in the San Francisco Bay Area when I was single before getting happily engaged.

Baby Boomer Dating Success – Dating Again After Divorce or Death of a Spouse

OK, so one of the most common characteristics of Single Boomers is we are either dating again after divorce or the death of a spouse. Certainly, as a group there is usually a need to Prepare the Wall with Divorce Support or Grief Support work in the Grief Recovery® Seminar first before Painting the House in Dating Again.

Once the Surface is Prepared, it is great to start painting your house: Get Out on More Dates.

Indeed, studies show time and again that the majority of married people met their spouse via people they knew in common. Through friends, through common associations, through mutual acquaintances.

So, what is the number one behavior which will then increase your chances of meeting your new love?

MEET MORE NEW PEOPLE

It will depend on the nature of your metro area for how easy it is to do that and what sort of events happen regularly which you can attend.

You want to combine a mix of events which are sort of a group association – like a Salsa or Classical Dance group which meets regularly – with one off events which you attend only periodically.

ASSOCIATIONS and GROUPS

This is your community, your tribe. You want to attend these regularly, just don’t let it be your only resource. These associations and groups – dance groups, singles groups, Bible Study/Church groups – can often become a bit insular. Sometimes new people attend their events. Sometimes only the same people have been attending for months.

Do attend such events, just not exclusively.

SPECIAL OCCASION EVENTS

Often a Special Occasion is observed by a series of public events. They are really sort of one off. St. Patrick’s Day. Gay/Lesbian Pride cocktails parties. Art Gallery openings. Scotch Tastings. Pinot Noir Tastings. Memorial Day BBQs.


Happy Dating and Relationships!

Baby Boomer Dating Tip: DO Expand Your Social Circle While Traveling

Awhile back I blogged and suggested that single baby boomers in particular needed to make concerted efforts to expand their social circles. Well, as we used to say when I was in Sales at Oracle, “I eat my own dog food.” Namely I am walking the walk and actually DOing what I suggest. Because as a baby boomer widow, I am right in there with you and your dating experience.

So, here I am in Southern California in The OC for the Memorial Day Weekend. I am visiting with family, which getting the 5 of us together is rare, the 6 of together all at once takes an act of God (Wedding or a Funeral). So, to me, our group altogether time is very precious and I guard it like some parents guard their time with their children (totally understandable).

However, while I travel, I do look to see if there are people with whom I can deepen the relationship with some face time (I feel so 80s when I say that, but it even more a relevant term in the 21st c with all the Social Media relationships we have.). I have 2 women from college and a lady from an internet class I am taking. The latter is the one I am most hoping and putting the steps in place that we will meet.

And you’re laughing wondering what that has to do with dating.

Well, two things.

It is the HABIT I form. Make the effort all the time as my NORMAL mode of operandi.

And… women are more likely to fix singles up than men are. Additionally, I am in the greater REGION of where I now live, more so than when I lived in Northern California. So if I actually met someone around here and we clicked, well, then we could actually reasonably date and form a relationship. NorCal to SoCal is a lot further than the OC is to Vegas.

Here is an area which I visit, mmm, like once a month or so on average. So, it is worth my sowing seed here for expanding my social circle and dating sphere to here as well.

One couple, it was the man who came from Central CA to the SF Bay Area regularly. He kept his eyes open when he traveled and pursued a lady in San Francisco. They married 2 years ago and just had their first child together last Summer. … Just so you know this DOES work and produce the results which you want.

In the mean time…

Happy Dating and Relationships,
