Fellas, if you’re in your 50’s, single and dating (and feeling like you’re not getting anywhere), consider this a little friendly feedback from the ladies.

Maybe you’ve heard it all before, maybe it doesn’t apply to you,  or maybe you already know it all. It doesn’t matter, because when it comes to dating women, I say you can never know enough.

And women, lets you think you’re off the hook here, you’re not. Even though I’m talking to the men, many of these points may apply to you, too. Dating in midlife isn’t always easy, but at least you’re all in it together.

So men, before you break out into a cold sweat, know that all this is well intended and researched. I’ve gathered input from three of my most trusted, single girlfriends whose ages range from 40’s to mid-50’s. They’re smart, sane, successful, and they’re here to help.
