Your Guide to Dating after 50
by Susie and Otto Collins, Relationship Coaches
As relationship
coaches, we hear so many stories from middle-aged people who are unhappy with
their dating
experiences. They want more from life and from their dates. They say
that they are disillusioned and some have even given up hope that they will
every find a soul mate and be
happy again. They may have been in a long-term
marriage that
has broken up and they are scared about getting out there and dating again.
Through working with many single people, many over 50, in our relationship
coaching practice who want better dating experiences, we have identified four
tips for creating and having better dates.
So if you're ready, here are our four pointers:
1. Don't start dating someone with the idea that you are going to have
instant romance
and be romantic with the person. Take the time to get to know them, establish
relationship trust
and connect with them as a person. Your dating experience will be much
richer if you do.
2. Make sure that you have made completions around old relationships.
If you need to do some work around forgiving your ex, do it. If you need
to stop thinking about how things used to be with an ex before your
breakup, do it.
You will not attract anyone to you who you will truly want to be with if you are
still emotionally tied to someone else.
3 Put your cards on the table. If you want a monogamous relationship,
tell the person after a few dates. In dating situations, there are often
unclear expectations around
infidelity
and what that means. Don't waste time. Be clear in what you want.
There might have been divorce largely
because of infidelity in past relationships so it's even more important to start
a new relationship with clear agreements.
4. If you had jealousy issues in
your previous relationship, you need to learn how to
overcome jealousy before you
begin dating. Many people believe that the problem will fix itself if you
are in a new relationship. Wrong! Jealousy will just keeping showing
up in new relationships over and over again until it has been dealt with.
These dating tips are ones that will help you with
personal growth and if you
keep them in mind, you will have a better dating experience. We are giving
you this free love advice in the
hopes that you will take courage and have more successful, satisfying dates and
relationships in the future.
