Why Hello there!
How are YOU? Yes, I am really asking and I want to hear.
I wanted to take some time and share what's been going on with me these days. I've decided to join the online dating community and open my heart to the possibility of finding love once again.
This time I thought I would share my journey with you.
As of today I have signed up for Match.com and Zoosk. Both online dating apps I have paid the monthly membership fee. Now keep in mind Match.com or Zoosk has not asked me to represent or promote either one of their apps. My experiences are my own.
So if you are like me and looking for love in 2019 how and where do you start? For most of us 40 something ladies it isn't like when we were teenagers and the guy sent us a note or fumbled through asking us out. It's kinda tricky to navigate. Do I have your interest peaked yet? I sure hope so. Keep reading to find out what adventures I am embarking on as I seek the kind of love that will last long into my 80s and 90s.
Ok, let's get down to business. The first question you need to ask yourself if you are single and seeking love is: "What is it I really want." You need to be very clear on this question. If you don't know what you want you will only attract all kinds of crazy. This would be a great time for you to pause and get out that dusty old notebook and start writing. Yes, I said writing. Do you own a pen? If not, go out and get a spiral ringed notebook and a pen. Make sure to get a pen you like because you will be doing a lot of writing while you are with me on this adventure. I buy a Mead notebook and use a purple pen because it makes me smile.
I'd take about 15-30 minutes and start writing what it feels like to have the type of relationship you are seeking. Since we are all individuals this is going to be quite different for each of us. At 47 years old I know that I want the kind of man I can talk to for the rest of my life. I will share more about what I want as we go along. For now, start writing so you can figure out what you want in the partner you are seeking. Remember there are no right or wrong answers. By writing out your feelings you have opened up your creative juices and become more clear on what you are truly seeking.
If you are still writing and 30 minutes has passed, no worries! Keep writing it means you are on FIRE. You got this and have fun writing.
I'm going to remind you that there are no right or wrong answers here. If you pick up the notebook tomorrow and find that what you wrote today isn't what you want, don't through it away but build upon and continue writing.
Well, now that we are started, I am going to leave you to enjoy the rest of your Saturday. Here's my first dating tip:
You're going to need a picture of yourself so if you are great at taking selfies, you're all set. If you need some help, then find a friend to take a picture of you. We want to see that gorgeous face of yours.
Talk to you next time!
