dating in your 40s

but why???

According to the 2005 U.S. census, more than half of the single women in the United States are in their 40s.  More than half!  Damn!  Bearing this in mind, it seems obvious that we women need a survival guide for dating in our 40s.  Do a net search and you find precious little.  And what's out there is pure dribble.  How to dress, how to act, how to find love, how to have a successful first date...all dribble. 

What you need is a practical, real, tell it like it is guide.  One that pulls no punches and maybe even gets in your face all the while making you laugh while you shake your head, "Yep, that's happened to me."  So here it is, The Secret to Dating in Your 40s: A Survival Guide for Women Who are 40 and Fabulous.  Enjoy!

but why me???

In my 3 years of 40s singleness, I've been all over the board. Oddly enough, I began optimistic and full of hope for finding the man of my dreams. Then reality hit. Sign up for enough online dating sites, go out with enough tainted fish, and reality is sure to smack you in the face. Hard. What I couldn't figure out was why I was having such a hard time finding 'him.' I'd never had such a hard time before. When I divorced in my 20's, I was dating my next husband in a few short months. And when I was divorced in my 30s, I jumped right back in the dating pool-twice-successfully. Or so I thought at the time. When I found myself divorced in my 40's. I found myself single for the longest stretch of my dating life. But why? How the hell did this happen? Why can I suddenly not find a man? Oh wait, there's one. Nope, false alarm. The first year I blamed myself. The second year I, well I blamed myself. Finally, in this 3rd year I see that it was me! You heard me right. Step one: take responsibility for your life. You're 40, you're single and I'm willing to bet you're carrying around a hella lot of blame. A hella lot of what's wrong with me. STOP.IT.NOW. Taking responsibility is one thing, blame is something else entirely.

dating in your 40s could mean dating younger men...

dating trends...older women, younger women
Ashton and Demi, Madonna and Guy Ritchie, and I just read that Meg Ryan and Matthew Perry are rumored to be dating. It's becoming quite the national trend. Do a Google search and there are countless articles. So why??? Maybe you think it's obvious why an older woman would prefer to date a younger man, but in truth there are as many benefits for him...
Keep reading to find out what they are.

loving you before someone else can

Remember, the Law of Attraction states "like
attracts like." You can't expect someone to
come in and make you right, fix you up, and
make you whole.

You have to be the person you want to
attract. You have to be the person you want
to date, the person you want to spend the
rest of your life with."

loving you before someone else can

Leave love!
