What happens when two singles are dating from very different playbooks—but hoping for something real?
In this episode of Dateless in Delray, Susan Shoer sits down with Carrie Brudner and Ryan Edwards for two candid, contrasting conversations about love, attraction, and intention in midlife.
Carrie, in her 50s, knows exactly what she wants: a younger, great-looking man who has it all—confidence, chemistry, and lifestyle alignment.

On the surface, their dating goals couldn’t look more different. But as the conversations unfold, surprising common threads emerge—desire for connection, clarity, authenticity, and a relationship that actually works in real life.
This episode explores:

What men and women say they want vs. what they’re really seeking
Where modern dating creates tension—and where it reveals shared hopes
Why being clear about your non-negotiables matters more than ever
