Dating Over 50: A Cheat Sheet

 


Hi there!

Here we are in the Golden Years diving into dating with the zest of a teenager (sometimes with the same awkwardness ). Whether you're freshly single or have been wading in the dating pool for a while, navigating the waters after 50 can be intimidating. Fear not, though! These questions from my most recent YouTube video will help you keep the conversation going so you can move on to a second date and beyond! 

When dating a woman aged 60 and above, it's important to ask thoughtful and respectful questions that show genuine interest in her experiences and values. Here are some questions a man might consider:

Personal Interests and Hobbies

1. What are some of your favorite hobbies or activities?

2. Have you picked up any new interests or skills recently?

3. Do you enjoy traveling? If so, what's the best place you've visited?

Life Experiences

4. Can you tell me about a memorable experience from your past?

5. What is one thing you’re most proud of in your life?

6. What’s a piece of advice you would give to your younger self? 

Family and Friends

7. Do you have children or grandchildren? Tell me about them.

8. How do you like to spend time with your family?

9. Do you have a close-knit group of friends? What do you enjoy doing together?

 Values and Beliefs

10. What values are most important to you in a relationship?

11. Are there any causes or issues you are particularly passionate about?

12. Do you have any spiritual or religious beliefs that are important to you? 

Lifestyle and Preferences

13. What does a perfect weekend look like for you?

14. Do you enjoy cooking or dining out? What's your favorite cuisine?

15. Are you a morning person or a night owl?

Health and Wellness

16. How do you like to stay active and healthy?

17. Do you have any favorite ways to relax and unwind?

18. Is there a particular health or wellness practice you swear by? 

Books, Movies, and Music

19. What’s the last book you read that you really enjoyed?

20. Do you have a favorite movie or genre?

21. What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?

 Companionship and Relationship

22. What qualities do you appreciate most in a partner?

23. How do you like to spend your free time with someone special?

24. What does companionship mean to you at this stage in life?

 Future Aspirations

25. Do you have any goals or dreams you’re still hoping to achieve?

26. Is there a place you’ve always wanted to visit but haven’t yet?

27. What are you looking forward to in the next few years?

These questions can help foster a meaningful and engaging conversation, allowing both parties to learn more about each other and build a connection based on mutual interests and values.

I hope you find the partner of your dreams!

Coming out of the Closet

I'm really struggling with my writing, like I never have before.        I'm terrified of talking about my faith ----  and yet it's everything to me.          How do you get people to understand how big  and how un-be-lieve-able-ly  it changes everything in life?       How do you get people to understand how,  if they just pay a little  attention they will quickly see that every moment in each of our lives is uniquely designed in a most wonder-filled way?         How do you write about that without sounding trite?          I know it's possible.  I'm just facing a wall of fear right now.         Mostly about what people will think about  my faith.           My God is real, and he is present in every moment.         I have no doubt.   ...

I'm out!

 I’m finally on the road.   My first goal is to get out of the valley. Not sure if you know or not, but Phoenix is in the heart of the “Valley of the Sun”.   It’s not apparent at first, but shortly into the drive you realized that you’re climbing a series of large hills that will bring you to an elevation above 6,000 feet in just over 2 hours.   The highway is dotted with caution signs: slow down for sharp curves, steep grades, and my favorite -- particularly on a hot summer day--   “Turn air conditioning off to avoid over heating.” I’ve traveled that road so many times in the past 20 years that those signs are a blur as I zip past at 80mph, my greatest fear is a high-priced speeding ticket.    Today is different.   As I climb those hills the engine revs to a maximum speed of 45mph, and as I glide down them I am challenged to keep the coach at 45mph.   Cars are lined up behind me on the way up, and wizzing by me on the way down. I’m ...
