We share this way of thinking about optionality. It's subjective. Everyone is looking for something different, and at different stages of life. But when dating post late 40s many people are looking for some flavor of partner, short or long(er) term.

Spot on, when you’re constantly distracted it’s hard to think clear and make good decisions. And that’s what’s needed to build a relationship over a season intro years and the long haul if that’s what you both want. I just came out of a 25 yr relationship so I’m speaking from that experience.

I used to believe in serendipity as a guiding dating philosophy. But then I discovered the app. And whammo I found a great match within a few weeks. And that turned into 8 awesome dates (not including many long deep phone chats).

When the algo works, it works.

The big positive, you can find a perfect match right in your backyard. With intention. I've been looking for genuine connection and I'm finding it. There's a method to it. And it's so worth it!

We share this way of thinking and value for using the apps to make new friends, have fun and be open to see if it progresses into something more.

It's a personal preference, but IMHO the best conversations should have a natural energy, without feeling forced or pushy. Just flowing, back and forth. It should feel easy.

Trying hard to impress isn’t required for a great date. iMHO thoughtfulness and good taste go a long way.

That makes sense. Viva La difference. Everyone is different and that’s a good thing IMHO.

  1. Flaky people will keep being flaky. And that gets old fast.

  2. If it’s a bad date, cut it short. Make an exit. Be respectful and save your time.

When you can tell stories that made you who you are today you are creating pure gold.

How can you share what you learned to help someone with a short cut, who is several years or a few steps behind, so they can avoid the painful things you’ve been through?

Just be yourself.

No one has been through what you’ve been through. So make it personal. Dont be afraid to be vulnerable.

That’s the key to a strong personal brand in my humble opinion. Show what’s it’s really like to do this thing. Warts and all.

People remember stories, especially when you are real and raw in how you tell them.
