About this Book
Dating seems scary, especially if you haven’t dated
in a long time, but it can be manageable and even fun if you remember to
go at your own pace and stay in your comfort zone. Think of it as
similar to a job search in which you are looking for a good fit between
your interests and requirements and the needs of your potential
companion.
In Dating After 50, you’ll learn the safest and most efficient
way to find dates, but the story doesn’t end once you’ve planned a
second date. You’ll get help negotiating the early months of your
relationship. You’ll find out what’s reasonable to tolerate and how to
set limits. Expect sound advice on managing second families, jealousy,
former spouses, rejection, money, benefits, retirement and a host of
other issues common to later-life relationships. Learn when you should
consider ending a relationship and how to do it with dignity and a
minimum of distress
Learn:
• The quickest, safest and most efficient way to find people worth
dating.
• How to arrange and survive the first meeting.
• The pleasures and problems of sex.
• How to set limits.
• Breaking up with style.
• Knowing when to call for help and where to find it.
