So. Maybe you’re single later in life. You want to date and eventually meet someone special, but you don’t know how to begin.
Maybe you don’t think you’re the femme fatale you were when you were young.
Maybe the idea of hanging out in bars sounds dated. (It is.)
Maybe online dating sounds scary or intimidating.
Well, maybe, just maybe, dating later in life doesn’t have to be scary. Or intimidating.
Maybe you don’t have to be young, nubile or in perfect shape to date.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to partner up later in life. You’re never too old, too grey, too out of shape, either.
You don’t have to be lipo-suctioned, face-lifted or botoxed. Trust me on that.
I know this firsthand because I’m hardly a femme fatale. When I decided to step into the single world in my 50s, I ended up with four marriage proposals the first year. A girlfriend began dating again in her 60s and had no shortage of fun dates.
How did we do it?
It’s not hard. Anyone can do it.
You just need to be you. Your authentic self. And you need to know a few strategic moves. Because we’re not 18 any more and it takes a little more effort to meet your match.
A little, not a lot. Easy.
No matter your age, let me coach you through your reentry to the dating scene.
My package of four telephone/internet coaching sessions can be found here. And yes, it will take four to get you started. But after that?
Fly!
Email me at Carol (at) ahealingspirit.org to book a no-obligation telephone consultation now. Let the new year be your best ever.
Dating seems to have become both easier and more difficult all at the same time. With apps, the pool is bigger, but there are also a lot more duds out there. I’m glad I’m not dating! I think this would help those who are.

I just had this conversation with a dear friend who will be re-entering the dating world after a divorce. She’s so lovely and I I know that she will find someone wonderful – I have to admit that I’d too be fearful if I were in her shoes.
This sounds nice for those who are open to dating again, who want that new man/woman in their life.

Online dating is beneficial for many, it opens the doors to meet new people but certainly can be scary for sure. I am glad you are addressing the topic, it’s good for people to be able to meet new people!
This is great to hear! Getting back into dating could be intimidating without a little assistance!

Wow this is great that there’s a place for those entering the dating scene can go. I often say I would not know how to date now if I needed to

I get the idea, the older we get the less compatible we are. I believe it is difficult to ‘fit in’ again after been independent and only responsible for yourself. I am alomst sure about, if I would end up being single for whatever reason, I wouldn’t want to start all over again, making compromises and all that. A ‘boyfriend’ maybe sometimes, but he’ll have to be gone before breakfast! 😉 But it is not easy, especially at ‘our age’ to find a nice genuine guy. Can only be good to get a push in the right direction!!

I started a new job and one of my coworkers has been sharing her dating stories. I sure do not envy her, the struggles she has just to get the guys to make a plan.
Dating after it’s been a while is scary. If you just start, it will get a little more comfortable again.

I am so glad I do not have to currently worry about dating. I can imagine how hard it is this day in age!
I’m not in the dating scene, but I know some friends who have re-entered the dating pool later in life. It’s a totally different world now when it comes to dating.
I will have to tell my mom about this. My dad has been dead for years, and she has only had one crappy boyfriend. Now in her 60s she thinks she is too old to start dating, and she has no idea where to start. This would be prefect for her.
The idea of dating really scares me. I met my now husband when we were just 16, so I never did the dating thing. I really hope that I never have to enter the dating world, but if I do, I’m glad that I can find helpful tips to ease into that transition.

I’m sure this subject will come up with my niece when we visit her. I’m going to direct her here. It’s so hard nowadays to date.
This sounds like a great service. I would hate to have to start dating again. I have been hearing so many horror stories from my single friends.
I think there’s nothing wrong about going back to dating even when you are in your 40s or 50s or 60s! As long as you can find that special new someone who is attentive, sincere, and a true gentleman, why not?
I agree with you on just being yourself. Why would we even try to be someone else at 40 or 50, even 60 years old? Finding a partner later in life would not be difficult I guess. As long as we learn to accept that you don’t have to be in perfect physical shape to find love again.
Amen to this, Carol! I just started dating again this year at 49. Thought I found my ‘true” but after about 6 months, the man-child began to show and other signs that I refuse to deal with ever again in my life.
There is life after 40 in dating. We just need to be us and refuse to settle for less than we deserve. Thanks for the hope!

Ive noticed a lot of my friends finding love on dating websites. The whole dating game has changed so much these days.
Being yourself is probably the best advice! I entered the dating scene when my first husband & I divorced- I was 36 with 3 young children. I was determined to have fun with my girly to friends at first as my ex was rather controlling & I missed just socialising. I was invited to BBQ’s & parties etc and I did eventually meet my now husband through friends (although I also met some men who were pleasant enough but just not my cup of tea!) I did toy with Friends Reunited …online dating was just getting going and I thought about it but by then I had already been smitten
Dating is daunting at any age so I think the help you are offering Carol is brilliant – and no doubt will be appreciated.

I think dating in 2017 is interesting. There are more ways to access people to date but I’m not sure if that really helps haha.
I’m glad I don’t need dating services at this point in my life, but if I did, your track record speaks for itself, Carol!
Turning intimidating into incredible. Thank you, Carol!

At 33, we went out for a friend’s birthday and let me tell you, the bar scene IS super dated.
I found my wife on an online dating service, stuck somewhere between bar-scene dating and Tinder. I can’t IMAGINE trying to get back into the dating scene now. I would certainly need help haha
