You can read the blog below or watch it on YouTube by clicking here.
Women often reach out to me when they’re facing challenging situations with men and dating especially when things aren’t quite playing out as they’d hoped.
Feeling like they’ve run into a wall, they aren’t sure what to do next.
The connections they want aren’t happening, which can be so disheartening as they experience a lack of response to their online profiles, along with a sense of invisibility during everyday encounters in real life.
I want you to know that this situation is not just happening in your life.
As a matter of fact, it’s a shared experience across the spectrum of the dating scene, one I’ve witnessed time and time again since I started coaching women over 50 back in 2012.
But let’s face it, a dating rut doesn’t feel good and to make it worse, it can lead you to falling into the trap of self-blame where it feels like your efforts are a waste of time. (They aren’t as I’ll explain!)
And that’s why in today’s blog, I’m want to share 3 tips that will help steer you out of a dating rut and back into the dating game.
Tip # 1: You’re not alone!
You might feel like you’re the only one who is struggling and frustrated with dating as you watch other women effortlessly navigate through successful dates on a Saturday night, while you’re at home binge watching Netflix.
But, is this really true about those other women-are they happily dating?
Quite possibly, it’s not.
You see most of us put our best selves out for the world to see and we sort of hide our struggles because we feel embarrassed we aren’t further along then we thought we’d be.
Think about how many times you’ve kept your dating disappointments a secret when things weren’t going well.
This isn’t a solitary journey; women from every walk of life, in every corner of the globe, face these same types of hurdles you’re dealing with.
One of the reasons women appreciate my Group Program is they see that others have faced the same challenges with men and dating, and it gives them hope.
They realize that overcoming these obstacles is possible, which keeps them moving forward in the pursuit of love after 50.
Tip #2: Nurturing a Deep-Rooted Confidence
In those quiet periods when your dating life seems like its at a standstill, it’s common to find yourself wrestling with feelings of hopelessness and you might even be questioning your appeal to the opposite sex.
When this happens, the most empowering step you can take is to build your dating confidence back up.
Why? Because . . .
Your Confidence touches how you will get out there and talk to the men you want to date.
Your Confidence influences how you appear to men.
Your Confidence determines the the type of men you attract into your life.
Your Confidence shapes everything about your dating life so it’s important that you keep your confidence really high with a deep KNOWING YOU ARE THE PRIZE.
We’re not talking about a facade of superiority or a mask of arrogance.
It’s about nurturing an authentic belief in your own worth as a woman — recognizing that you’re amazing just the way you are.
Tip #3: Spark Your Love Life into Motion By Taking Action
Staying lost in thoughts of ‘woe is me’, or circling in endless conversations with friends about the scarcity of remarkable men won’t pave the path for you to love.
Recognize that this dry spell is a season, just a brief interlude in your story.
You’ve acknowledged you’re not alone, and you’ve worked on bolstering your confidence.
It’s time to channel that newfound strength you’ve found into purposeful, hopeful action that propels you towards the deep connection you deserve with the right man.
Take a moment and reflect on . . .
What activities or efforts in the past opened doors to meaningful dates with good men?
Perhaps there’s an avenue you explored before, something that worked that you haven’t tried in a while.
Was it experimenting with different online platforms, engaging with someone intriguing across the room, or maybe it was educational—like a class or coaching program that gave you new insights?
Your Mission to Find The One: Take Inspired Action
Ideas hold potential, but it’s action that creates results.
This is a truth I emphasize with my clients.
Success isn’t reserved for a select few; it belongs to those who do the things others may shy away from.
Embrace this mindset because it can transform your dating life.
Implement the tips I’ve shared: recognizing your shared journey, fortifying your inner confidence, and now, taking inspired, hopeful action.
As you blend understanding with action, watch your love life open up to unlimited possibilities you might never have thought of before.
Try it out, and I’d love to hear what unfolds for you on this journey to finding your Mr. Right.
