About Love After 50

After suddenly finding myself single after 23 years of marriage, I became what I jokingly call a serial dater with absolutely no idea what I was doing.

My confidence was low, my self-esteem had taken a knock, and living 250 miles away from my family and friends meant I was navigating this new world largely on my own.

Like many people stepping back into dating later in life, I signed up for online dating — and quickly realised I didn’t really understand how modern dating worked.

I remember being told repeatedly that I had a “lovely smile”, but not really understanding what that meant in the strange new world of online conversations and dating profiles.

Learning the Hard Way

After many mistakes, plenty of learning, and a pocket full of male friends rather than a boyfriend, I became fascinated by relationships and human connection.

I decided to train as a relationship and dating coach, helping others rebuild their confidence after heartbreak, understand relationships more deeply, and feel ready to date again.

Dating After 50

When I reached the ripe old age of 50, however, I realised something surprising — it felt as though I had suddenly dropped off the radar of the dating world.

Dating over 50 seemed to come with a completely different set of challenges.

That realisation led me to train as a matchmaker, giving clients the opportunity to meet genuine singles and find love through choice, not algorithms.
