Dating after 50: 7 Steps to Find Your Forever Man

Dating after 50 can feel daunting, especially when society bombards us with messages that youth is the zenith of desirability.

But finding your forever man at this stage in life is not just a possibility; it's a journey that can be embarked upon with dignity, wisdom and a bit of strategic know-how.

Here are seven essential steps to navigate the dating world after 50 and find the love that you deserve.

I'm 57, attractive, good career. I'm enjoying being single. I look at a relationship at this point as a lot of work that I don't want to take on.

[brendah]

Not only jaded but at a certain age, you just know better. I have zero interest in going to a bar and meeting a man.

I would have thought Adam was a club guy...thriving in the noise and crowd

[robedinwhite]

I’m out there EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK: golfing, church, boating, the beach…the “ volume” you talk about just isn’t there for someone 61… most are either married or Gross and Weird. And I’m pretty vivacious and outgoing and fairly attractive.

[SanctifiedLady]

I’m shy and I really have to commit to finding and doing a few things a week and make a routine. My first effort will be at the church. Bible study and I have two churches.

I don’t trust where society is going these days.

I go to the gym like a nun all covered and no eye contact 😅

So glad you've added step 6 about exclusivity! I wish I would have known that when I started dating after my divorce.

I find this very interesting topic
It scares the living out of me thinking of finding love or having a relationship, but I like to find someone but I don’t how and where to find the right one

[Nubianette]

What’s up with the pickleball references? 😆 Beer pub, metal shows, and traveling!

[czdhyyg]

Adam you look handsomer...what cosmetic procedure have you done to your face?

[LinusWilson]

Ok slowing things down does not work if the dude is high value. He will be bringing in new prospects and be annoyed by your delays and rules. He’ll cut bait. U gotta give him reasons to give another date.

[fishstickbio]

As a woman, you have to be literally crazy to date after that age 😂

[georgesontag]

As women age they get more picky, not less. They think they are a prize and expecr to get a doctor or a lawyer. They think, if i cant get the top guy, i will stay single.

[LinusWilson]

I think most women 50+ have not thought through if they actually want a relationship. They default to that goal, but having kids is not possible. Most single women this age like living on their own on their own terms. With those two things, do u really want an exclusive relationship? If u do still want a relationship, realize you must go down in male quality to get a relationship v casual dating.
