Love or Lust or....???

So many questions...here are a few answers.

As this series evolves, I’ve done lots of my own thinking about its purpose. Many of us have been married before. Some want to get married. Some want to avoid commitment. Some are just totally confused.

Single people 50+ (as well as younger daters and those coupled-up souls who like to live vicariously) are probably looking for a few basic things:

1. Love

2. Lust

3. Lunch or dinner (or cocktails) with a companion

4. Learning

5. Laughter

Of course, you’re probably looking for way more than that, but these all start with L, and the list is relatively short, so let’s just leave it at that.

I started this series with no clear strategic direction or “table of contents.” Much like dating, it’s a figure-it-as-you-go deal.

But here’s a general outline of what I’ll be writing about, which should give you a solid reason to subscribe.

• Why do you even want someone in your life?

• What qualities do you want that person to have? Why?

• What are YOU willing to do to make a relationship work?

• Where will you look for that person (or people)? We have so many options today, but how do you prevent dumpster diving in what can be a “cesspool of broken dolls?”

• How does the dating process actually work in this era? Some of you haven’t been “on the market” for 20 or 30 years…and it sometimes shows!

  • Live and/or online options

  • The first date

  • The next dates

  • Sex and its variations

  • The road trip

  • The flags (red, pink (caution), and white (surrender to love or flee with your life))

• Online dating. This one will be a doozy!

• Interviews with experts (see below)

• Reader questions and answers (ditto)

• Tools (available only to paid subscribers)

• Events: both live and online (also only for paid subscribers)

I can’t necessarily help you with the lunch part, but I can definitely give you advice and fun stories about dining on dates.

In fact, laughter and fun are a big part of this “brand.” If we don’t smile and chortle about this stuff, we might whimper or even sob.

Check out my posts to date, tell your friends and lovers, and look for the above topics.

If you’re a dating expert or just have some fun tales to share (or want to be a guest contributor or interview subject), please get in touch. I’m all about collaboration.

Yours in love, lust, and lunch,

Nancy

P.S. Thank you Femforce for the fun photoshoot. And gratitude to my male model (Ken doll) who was my second-best date of the week.
