Ever wonder what men think about looking for love after 50?
Recently, a man named Lee reached out to me and shared his thoughts about how difficult dating was for a man over 50. (I bet you thought it was only difficult for us, right?)
His insights were right on target about women from a male perspective.
I asked if we could record our call and he gave me permission to share it with you hoping it will help women understand men and dating from a male perspective.
He shares from his heart why so many of the men you pass up might actually make a good boyfriend or future husband for you.
Lee also talks about how it feels to be a man in the dating world…priceless information worth hearing.
I feel like you’ll come away with insights and compassion for yourself and for the men you meet as you travel the journey of finding love the second time around.

I’d love to hear your thoughts about what Lee shared.

I thought it was an informative interview. I am an almost 62 yr old widow going on four years. I’m just starting to feel the loneliness. I don’t feel comfortable going on dating websites. My widowed dad keeps saying “I want you to find someone so bad because you are so lovable and have so much to give.” I told him don’t worry if it’s meant to be it will be. I don’t want him to hook me up with an older friend/acquaintance. Lol
This is just what I went thru. I helped a gentleman, who had lost his wife, get some paperwork processed. He asked if he could call me and because I was working I told him I had his information and I would possibly contact him which I did. We talked on and off for a month and he kept saying he wanted to journey life with me because he said I was so real, sensitive and caring. Boom stopped talking for no unknown reason. Six months later and I had just deleted his information thinking I will never hear from him again, he tried calling and then texted me wondering if I was doing good and if I remembered him. I asked him questions about what he had talked about (truck, dogs, mom)previously so he knew I had listened to him wholeheartedly. He said that he realized he wasn’t ready yet and that’s why he stopped talking. He kept saying we need to meet but wouldn’t make a move. I was getting ready to go down south and he finally asked in a shy kind of way to meet. We met and seemed to get along great and said we would go out again but never asked. So one day I sent him a text asking him if he would have the courage and honesty to tell me if I had done something wrong since I hadn’t dated for the last 32 years. He replied saying I was more than wonderful and it was him not being ready and having all his wife’s stuff in the house, blah blah blah! I told him I understood even though he was the one who wanted to journey life with me! Hopefully he was being honest but at the end of the day obviously he is not the one I am supposed to be with. I know God has just the right soul mate for me. Any thoughts or comments?
Always pay attention to a man’s actions Paula. They always mean more than words alone.
Regarding the interview with Lee, for me I am looking for a man who will take the lead. I am truly tired of having to make decisions about everything. I consider myself traditional in the expectations of the way dating used to be. From some of my friends that date quite a bit their perspective is that men have become lazy in the area of sending notes, flowers, and even giving compliments.
Make sure its in your Quality Man Template Sharon.
I found it interesting at the end of the conversation where Lee says if we both (men and women) could just take the time to get to know the person, that’s critical, I think it goes back to us not being shallow and superficial and giving a person three dates to see if common interests and compatibility can create a spark at the end and maybe two people can come together… And you know I tried it for the first time last weekend. I gave a guy three days. And by the third night I realized my frog was actually a prince covered in a lily pad, and he’s sweet and loving and affectionate and a old time gentleman. This is a man whose photos on his profiles actually were awful, but he wasn’t my type, but he wasn’t an asshole, and you can’t fix asshole, but you can give a nice guy a chance and realize you don’t even know what your “type” is. Lesson learned – nice guys rule!
I love this Judy!!!!
