Dating While Mature: Menopausal Mating: 3 Challenges And 5 Mindset Musts
At our age we’ve come to understand we don’t NEED a partner.
You’ve spent plenty of time without one and you are okay.
If you’ve tried and failed at dating, you’re probably pretty tired. Maybe you never enjoyed shopping at all–much less endless swiping, texting, wondering where they went, and then finally a live date, only to find out they lied about their height, their age or their employment situation!
If you are of a certain age, you might also just be plain exhausted from raising kids, caring for aging parents, excelling at your job, and having menopause mess up your sleep!
Might you be too irritable to have fun dating?
There are real NEW challenges, that were not the case 20 years ago:
1) Psychologists have proven that the more choice you have, the less happy you are. Because millions of potential mates are at your fingertips with apps, people are always looking for the next, better thing, rarely satisfied with what they found.
2) The amount of action you have to take to find your person now is just MORE (and different) than it used to be. People really did used to meet their sweetheart in high school or college– not that the majority of those unions worked out!
3) Ghosting is much more prevalent now, and it really does hurt.
What if I told you I could teach you exactly how to overcome these challenges, and have fun dating?
You can, you just have to change your mindset.
‘Cause guess what else is new?
1) Having a place where you can go to find millions of singles in one place. Yep, I mean online.
2) Now that you’re older, you have the time to do your inner work, as well as this honest job of the hunt for your soulmate.
3) You can develop a thicker skin for the ultimate matching game that dating is, and learn how to eliminate people before they get a chance to eliminate you, by reading things correctly.
4) Equality between the sexes is new (though still a bit spotty!) Maybe in your marriage you were expected to be subservient, maybe your partner was absent a lot or not emotionally available.
That’s not the norm anymore!
5) New men are coming on the market, literally every minute.
There is so much reason for smart, successful, curious women to have hope about dating.
