Dear Friends,

It has been weeks since I have blogged about my search for Mr. Right. Have I found him? It’s too early to say, but I am cautiously optimistic! In the meantime, I’d like to share some insights I have learned from my experience of dating over 50. Maybe you can benefit?

Pick someone who likes doing the same things as you–obviously.
That doesn’t mean his personality has to be identical to yours. In fact, you are better equipped as a couple if you have complimentary strengths.
Pick someone who lights your fire. Yes, desire fades, but you always want to enjoy his kisses, not want to wipe them away.
Go for the guy who treats his dog with calm assertiveness and complementary praise. He’s worthy of your respect.
Go for the guy who is close to his family members and sends them timely birthday cards. He’s considerable and reliable.
Go for the guy who has his finances in order and can retire while you’re both still young enough to travel.
Go for the guy who fetches your jacket when you’re cold, holds the door for you, and carries the heavier load. He’s a gentleman.
Go for the guy who doesn’t sweat the small stuff. Life throws enough curve balls, so why invent problems where none exist?

All that said, I believe I have found a hero who fits these parameters. Stay tuned for the big reveal!
