This episode focuses on stories that happened during or even because of the pandemic. Our first story is about a parental nudge, the second is about traversing the unknown corners of your network for a romantic connection and our last story is still being written.

As we slowly begin to gather and resume our daily rituals, what reflective gems should we hold onto - especially when it comes to dating.

The Pandemic Set-Up

Between the ages of 45-59? (Give or take a few years) and dating or thinking about it? You're in the right place. 

There's never been a better time to date later in life. Let us show you the advantages of dating later in life AND the places you might overlook or trip. 

Lakshmi Rengarajan, host and guide of the The Later Dater podcast has spent almost 15 years trying to improve and shed an illuminating light on the culture of modern dating. She's designed one-of-a-kind events that challenged the idea of the dating profile, she worked at the world's largest dating conglomerate (Match), she studied the art of the set-up and co-hosted Season 7 of Vox Media's award-winning podcast Land of The Giants: Dating Games. 

And now she's turned her attention to folks dating "later in life". Her work to change, improve and challenge modern dating culture and its tropes have been featured in the New York Times, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, Oprah Daily and The Guardian and she's been a guest on the Pivot Podcast with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway among others. 

Later Daters are folks who came of age before the smartphone but also have the smarts to leverage and use technology.  Modern dating culture has changed quite a bit since the introduction of dating apps but your dual existence might be just to thing that helps you navigate it today.
