Dating after 50, relationship advice

Here are the 5 Tips on How To Start Dating Again After 50…

Posted on June 17, 2019September 15, 2026 By The Body House No Comments on Here are the 5 Tips on How To Start Dating Again After 50…

Here are Your 5 Tips…

1. Relationship —> FORGIVENESS

This is probably the BIGGEST sticking point when it comes to moving forward to a new relationship.

This can be especially difficult when you’re over the age of 50 and want to start dating again because of what is commonly called “baggage”.

Emotional baggage. Intellectual baggage. Sexual baggage. Even Spiritual baggage can become Relationship baggage.

The KEY to OVERCOMING Baggage and start dating again is FORGIVENESS…

Forgive yourself and forgive her and anyone else who you believe contributed to the downfall of your marriage or long term relationship.

It can be a challenge, but this is part of the experience of this life.

Living. Loving. Leaving.

This is common to each human being…

To give you some perspective, I discuss knowing your values…. in relationships and in your life.

2. Stop Trying To Be Someone Else

It’s time to truly be who you are. Even after the age of 50.

There are many reasons why you might feel like you still need to put on “a show” every time you leave the house.

There are many things in our world that push us in that direction.

However, I think that Life is about becoming more of who your really are.

I mean, you’re stuck with yourself, right?

No one else knows your thoughts and feelings like YOU do and they are there all the time, waiting to be dealt with and learned from.

That’s my interpretation, anyway.

Besides, if you’re over the age of 50 and you want to start dating again, you don’t want to be someone else anymore anyway. You want to please yourself. You want to BE yourself.

Your Life force will insist on honesty at some point anyway.

Sometimes you need to tell fibs and little white lies to get through life. Especially, if you start dating again. Not everyone is going to be right for you and sometimes its better to tell a little white lie to let someone down than to be totally “honest”…. and that’s Okay.

What is NEVER okay is to lie to Yourself.

So stop trying to act like someone else. You’ll only end up disappointed and drained if you keep that up!

3. Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

If you want to start dating again after the age of 50, then you need to step outside of your comfort zone.

However, you don’t need to go skydiving to prove to yourself you’ve stepped outside the box.

If the thought of skydiving terrifies you then it’s okay NOT to do it.

Try something you think you’d like to do. It could be something you haven’t done in awhile or something new.

As long as it’s something that is not of the norm for you and something that still makes you feel somewhat comfortable and safe.

I want you to feel confident while stepping outside that comfort zone.

Try it and see what happens. You may start looking at the ladies differently and they will start looking at you differently too… in a good way!

 

4. Have Fun

Don’t forget to have fun!

When you’re having fun, you’re going to have a lot more success with finding love or finding anything else for that matter.

Look at the company you keep. Do your friends and relatives make you feel good when you’re around them?

If not, limit the time you spend with them if you can’t get away completely from them.

Try not to take yourself or events in life too seriously.

I don’t necessarily believe the saying, “Don’t sweat the small stuff… and it’s all small stuff.”

Actually, I think most things are small stuff and worrying about most things is a waste of time and energy.

I hope that if you’re over the age of 50 you can see that too.

It’s a good thing to do when you get wound up over something small to remember —> Life is {MOSTLY} made up of small events that are strung together.

It’s the attention you give to the MOMENT that leads to a big life overall.

5. Just Keep Going

If nothing else, winning at the game of Life has A LOT to do with perseverance.

Keep going until you find a lady who naturally and easily makes you smile and laugh. Notice if you are that person for her too.

It doesn’t have to be perfect.

You don’t need to be a tyrant with yourself or anyone else. Just Stay DISCIPLINED.

Have a few routines in place that you follow. Not to many. Don’t get rigid.

Follow these routines that you know are good for you, even when you don’t want to. Notice how it makes you stronger. Then notice how that strength translates into confidence around women…

Especially, a woman you find attractive.


Thank you for reading/listening and I wish you a sensual day.
