In this episode, I talk about why it's so hard to find a match when you're dating over 40... especially if you have kids and are divorced. I share some personal stories straight from my dating life as to why things just didn't work out with some of the guys I've gone out with.

Complications of Dating Later in Life:

• Children - Do you have them? Do you want them? Do you not want them? If this doesn't align... Well, what's the point?
  • I tell stories of several men who are in their 40s who want babies. (Spoiler alert, I'm not their girl.)
• Location - How far are you willing to to go to date someone? Within your own city, state, or country?
  • I share insights from men I've dated as well as my own unsuccessful attempts at long distance dating.
• Careers - What do they do? How much do you care?
• Relationship/Co-Parenting with the Ex - Does the person you are dating have an amicable relationship with their ex?  If not, is it reasonably difficult at times or is it toxic 100% of the time? 
  • I discuss my own personal hell sharing life with the most challenging woman I've ever known - my ex's first wife.
