Can you post an article on what going slow in dating really looks like? I find alot of men try to rush intimacy. It’s hard to really see who someone is when that happens.

I find myself maybe not so much being critical but really looking to see some of the areas that a man may not be the one. When dating over 50 you already have come to know what you would like in a relationship and what doesn’t work because to have already experienced them. For instance if a man gets a headache from being in the sun to long and won’t wear a hat and you love being in the sun isn’t it possible that traveling may not be what you’d like to do together? Maybe I try to look to far ahead and maybe there would be a compromise but its not like there a lots of years to figure it out either.
Hi Lisa,
For me #6 is something I need to work on. I’m 68, divorced after a long term marriage. I find it difficult at this age to overlook a few minor flaws in a man that I haven’t encountered in my past relationships. It’s evident, that some men have been single and alone for some time. “I’m not trying to change them.” I’m seeing if these are only minor differences or if they are indeed “Red Flags” that I can’t live with. I learn more each time we’re together.
Thank you for your great advice. I will focus on his good qualities, which he has many.

My favorite of your 20 dating tips is number 11. So true! The right guy is coming soon, not to a theater near me (LOL), but right into my life. Linda Jay
