Are you tired of dating apps?
Are you tired of spending so much time reading descriptions of people and then never receiving a response from them?
Are you tired of going to singles events where there are 20 women and 2 men?Are you tired of texting or talking to potential dates on the phone and when you finally meet him, he’s 20 years older than he said he was?
Are you tired of eating and watching TV alone every night.
I want to share a speed dating party that I am sponsoring for men and women ages 60 to 75. (Although there are speed dating events, all of them seem to be for younger people.) As I searched the internet I didn’t see any for more mature individuals.
This is how it will work. We will meet on a Thursday afternoon, March 21 from 2 to 4:30 PM. The venue will be in University City. Everyone will be on time. There will be numbered ____ tables with chairs on the inside for women and on the outside for men. (There will be an equal number of men and women. You will have a card with suggested questions for discussion and a score card with the first names of everyone of the opposite s*x. You will have 5 minutes to talk with your table mate and then I will ring a bell, you’ll fill out the score card and the men will move to the next table.
There will be a 15 minute break in the middle of the event for refreshments and a chance to further socialize. We will also stay around for half an hour after the event for anybody who wishes to stay longer.
All you will put down on the score care is whether you would like to have a further conversation with this person. You will not exchange any contact information. I will contact each person the following day with the contact information where there is a mutual wish to converse further.
We are not looking for meeting a soul mate or the love of your life. All we are looking for the opportunity to meet one or more people that you would like to explore communication with a little bit more in a safe manner.
If you are interested in participating please send me an e-mail at [email protected]. Please include your phone number and a good time to reach you. There will be a charge of $25 for this event. You may share this notice with people you think might be interested.

“It doesn’t take a narcissist to ruin things when you are allowing anyone attracted to you to ignore your interests. “ Hara Estroff Marano said that in the Nov.\ Dec. 2021, issue of Psychology Today. She was talking about asking questions about someone that you are thinking of as a possible mate. She goes on to say, “Consider the possibility that not wanting to ruffle a potential partner’s feathers with a question might be what is establishing the architecture for the one-way relationships that have dominated your life so far.”
So many people have told me that they don’t ask important probing questions at the beginning of a relationship. Their hormones race when they meet someone they are attracted to. (Yes, this is a biological phenomenon.) They ignore any red flags that pop up. They ignore any signals from their gut that something isn’t right. Then they’re shocked when the honeymoon phase is over with that they’re with the same problem man — but with a different name.
Asking questions and following up with a comment like “Tell me more!” is essential to being with the right person. However, do not make this an inquisition. It has to flow smoothly.
We will discuss and tap on questions and how it influences your love life (as well as other relationships) in the nextt F

I was just reading a blog by Erik Barker where he talks about Curiosity. It helps couples stay together if they seek out new interesting stuff to do together. I thought about how in dating some people don’t seem to have much curiosity about their date. At least may don’’t ask personal questions that could give them much needed information. (I’m not talking about an inquisition.)
One way to show curiosity is to ask a person personal questions. This is more than asking “How are you today?” It seems easier to just observe behavior over a long period of time. One woman told me that she didn’t like asking questions, but would let the relationship develop over time. Some women date a man for a long time and then are surprised to find that they are in the same patterns that they had with preceding failed relationships.
One pattern I’ve seen is that couples would rather interpret actions or statements by their dates without asking, “What does that mean?” or “Am I interpreting this correctly?” “Try to put yourself in the shoes — and the mind of the person you’re talking to, to see things from their perspective …curiosity is a deeply social quality. Ask a date more questions about themselves. It doesn’t tell them you can; it shows them you care.” Eric Barker

Complaints!!! Complaints!!! Complaints!!!
I’ll admit that there are some scammers out there. There are also many men who have the same terrible personality traits that destroyed your last relationship. (Things such as: selfishness, incapable of making a commitment, untrustworthy, just wanting a caretaker, emotionally unavailable —just to name a few.)
Or perhaps you’re not getting any response from your online dating ads.
What message is the universe really giving you?
And how do you really find the good man? Yes, there are a lot out there — and you only need one. At age 82 I found a wonderful man 2 years older than me, in great health, extremely intelligent, and a lot of fun to be with. We’ve been together for more than 2 fantastic years.
How did I do it? I’m going to share some of my secrets with you in this free Zoom webinar on Tuesday, July 14 at noon.

i Love to Dance
When I was in my 30’s and newly divorced, I remember going to singles dances, oftentimes with a friend. We would find a table towards the back and have a great conversation. All the time we were talking we were hoping that some man would come over to our table and ask us to dance. It never happened.
I did some thinking and research wondering why I was a wallflower. I was as attractive as any of the other women who were finding partners. Then I had a big AHA! Some of the men were also sitting with a friend. Some men and women were dancing a lot. I looked at and studied the dance floor. I noticed that the women who danced a lot found themselves without a partner every so often. Instead of sitting down at their table, they stayed at the edge of the dance floor, tapping their feet. They were immediately surrounded by men and one man would ask them to dance.
So I went to the next dance by myself. Instead of sitting I went to the edge of the dance floor, started tapping my feet and slightly swaying. Voila!!! I was no longer a wall flower. Men were asking me to dance.
Sometimes you need to put yourself out there and take some action. I often hear women say, “I can’t put myself out there. People will think I’m desperate.” or they might say, “I’m afraid to get out there.” You may have a strategy to get a pay raise, to save money or how to lose weight. But for some women it’s hard to look at what works and what doesn’t work when trying to find a great relationship.
You need to take action — targeted action. Come to my FREE zoom webinar, Tuesday, June 29 at 4 PM to learn some of the targeted action that you need to take to find Mr. Right.

Now It’s time to enjoy hugs.
Maybe you’re waiting to find romance in your life before getting a hug. But one of the saddest beliefs of some single people is that they can’t enjoy many of the perks of being part of a couple.
I was reading the New York Times this morning and I came upon an article by Tara Parker-Pope on the importance of giving and receiving hugs. “Not only do hugs heck you better cope with the stress of daily life, but they are associated with beneficial physical changes inside your body as well. “ She goes on to say how when women receive hugs from their partner, they have lower cortisol levels, it lowers blood pressure and raises oxytocin which is a calming hormone.
Hugs are even connected to a stronger immune system. Thee will be more studies in the future about whether there is a difference between hugs from anyone and hugs from a partner.
In the meantime if you do not have a partner, hugging friends and relatives could be a very great addition to your personal well-being. I have found that when women take care of themselves and lead a fulfilling life, they are more likely to create a good relationship.

Are you tired of being alone? Even if you are a woman over 50, "Happily Ever After" can be true for you. https://www.sheilahenry.com/find-love-for-women-over-50

I remember when I was younger, I thought that the most important thing in relationships was "falling in love". I had no idea what falling in love was. I just thought it was something that happened after you met so many men. I gave little thought to what I wanted a man to be like. How about you? Have you seriously thought about the inner character qualities of a man that you want? Or is it superficial qualities that you're searching for?
