My 3 Top Dos and Don’ts For Single Women Looking for Mr. Right After 50
Don’t do this . . .
A big obstacle to finding love after 50 happens when you’re NOT putting yourself in places where you can be seen and found by available men on a DAILY BASIS!
Men can’t find you when you’re hiding every night at home.
I know it feels great after a long day at work to snuggle up with a good book, your fave TV show or your cat or dog for some unconditional loving.
But you need exposure to men, whether in person or online and its not happening if this is your nightly routine.
No one is going to know you’re even available and even worse, they can’t find you.
Do…
Start going out at night and on the weekends.
Go to restaurants with friends. Men are always there.
Take classes that men might like as well. A great example is golfing.
What man doesn’t love improving his golf swing and now they can do it year round at indoor and outdoor driving ranges.
Go to places like the library.
Men are there checking out books and movies every day.
The thing is single men are everywhere.
All you have to do is make sure you’re in places where the two of you can meet.
Don’t…
Have a vision that is too narrow when it comes to the kind of men you are willing to date.
Ask most women what they want in a man and a type similar to Richard Gere’s character in “Pretty Woman” comes to mind.
He’s rich, sassy and has a heart.
He’s gorgeous but he’s also a made up movie romance.
Do…
Stay open to dating all kinds of men with all kinds of looks, backgrounds, and interests as long as they are economically self sufficient, meaning they can hold their own and won’t be financially dependent on you.
Of course, its nice to think of having a rich handsome man sweep you off your feet but what you really want is a man who is going to be there for you through the ups and the downs of this journey called life.
That man is a keeper!
Don’t…
Give up on dating after one or even five bad dates!
There is no doubt about it, without the right skill set and support in place, dating can be hard.
That’s why I teach women all the time how to create a Dating Blueprint.
It gives them a clear vision of their next step for finding love after 50.
Just remember you don’t have to take a giant step to get out of dating frustration.
One baby step forward can inspire and motivate you to keep moving forward towards your dreams.
Do this instead…
Dating has a learning curve just like every new endeavor does.
Be persistent and consistent by having a plan in place for meeting quality men.
Have fun meeting new and interesting men.
If they aren’t a romantic interest, consider making them your friend.
And instead of quitting when a date goes bad, chalk it up as being one man closer to the “One” you are looking for.
He’s out there waiting for you!

I have not found online dating to be anything but a waste of time. I’ve tried Match.com, eHarmony, Ok Cupid, POF, Meet Mindful, Our Time. I’m pretty sure I’m attractive, smart, self sufficient, and have less baggage than you’d need for a day trip to the beach, but I rarely get any interest and the few times I have, there has been zero chemistry and lots of men who misrepresent themselves. Any tips on better ways? I hardly see any men over 55/55 out and around–those that are out there all seem attached.
Hi Marie….In my book and every program I offer, I have women create a Quality Man Template to help them see who will ultimately make them happy in a long term relationship. Often times we think we are looking for chemistry…yet what we really want is a heart connection and intimacy with a man. Chemistry is not sustainable.
Yes online dating can be challenging. I help women with this all of the time. Please reach out to me at lisa@findaqualityman.com and we can set up a time to talk abut what is going on. Wishing you the best. Hugs~
