If you’ve fallen for a widower and can’t tell whether he’s ready, or you’re a widow thinking about dating again, most dating advice skips right over you. Grief keeps no schedule, and love won’t wait for it to finish. Here’s what 20 years of coaching has taught me about telling the two apart…

I talk to smart, accomplished women every week who are stuck in the same loop: swiping through profile after profile, comparing and cross-referencing, and somehow still unable to settle on anyone. Here’s what 20 years of helping daters in my coaching practice has taught me: the problem usually isn’t a shortage of good people; it’s how you’re searching…

I’ve coached daters for more than 20 years, and there is one thing I know. Younger men, and plenty of older ones too, are actively seeking out women over 60. It’s a real, growing part of the dating world. If you’re wondering about this, I am here with an unpopular perspective: You have the upper hand more often than you think, and I’ve watched it play out in real life…

One of the most common worries I hear from women over 60 who are dating is the lack of available partners in their area. I get it. But I also see happy, committed couples every single day who have made a different kind of choice: they’re in love, they’re all in, and they don’t share a home!

Why am I suddenly supposed to understand dating apps, video chat, and all this digital stuff? Well, I get that, but my recommended belief is this…

Ahh, the search for the rare breed of good men: The decent men who want a serious relationship. You mean decently healthy, financially stable, well-groomed and clean, handsome enough, and ready for a long-term relationship. At first glance, these seem like questions about the dating market. But, if they were, my answer “everywhere” would suffice…

Dating over 60 is brave. Tender. Hopeful. And yet – sometimes the hardest part isn’t the men. It’s the people sitting across from you at lunch, clutching their wine glasses, nodding sympathetically while inadvertently dragging your love life into the gutter…

Part of the reason so many women avoid dating online is that it feels like a waste of time. I hear that plenty as a dating coach. By my back-of-the-napkin calculations, less than half the people (men and women alike) on online dating sites are there because they are serious (and ready) for a long-term…

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, I don’t even know what I want anymore… you’re not alone. And if you’ve ever wondered, Why do I keep attracting the same kind of man? you’re obviously not literally attracting the “same man” – but you…
