Where do I start? What do I want? How do I date again in midlife? How do I manage rejection?

Oh, and what are the dating rules you have to follow to find the person I desire? 

Your concerns about dating are valid and if any of these questions have popped into your head as you contemplate dating again or you are about to dip your toe back into the dating pool in midlife after years of being out, then today’s episode is for you!

Today I’ll give you practical tips and encouragement so you can overcome the fear of dating again. Confidence is key and that takes practice when you are searching for the person you desire.

I’ve been through it and helped many others through it too! And I’m telling you: you are not alone.

In this episode, I will give you 8 dating tips so dating in your 50s or 60’s won’t be as scary as you think it will be. Think of these tips as the stepping stones to find your most fulfilling relationship.

In this episode, I share with you:

  • How embracing discomfort can set you up for success and build courage and confidence.
  • What jelly beans have to do with dating? 
  • Learn to allow dating to be a journey of self-discovery and a personal growth journey.
  • How can practicing friendliness improve your dating skills and help with general loneliness? 
  • Why it’s important to overcome your ‘crappy’ dating beliefs and a short exercise that will help shift your dating mindset. 
  • What is dating worth and why is it important for you to increase yours?
  • How do I trust someone I’m dating?
  • How to view rejection in dating differently.
  • And so much more!

 

So pop in those ear buds and learn to take your dating power back!! 

The number 8 keeps showing up in my podcast so I Googled it.  The number 8 represents victory, prosperity, and balance and that’s my wish for you through your dating process.

This is part 2 of a 4 part series that I’ll be releasing this February where I share dating lessons and tips to help you get back into the dating scene.

Here’s to finding lasting love together!
