I’m 49 and Looking for Love. Should I Bother with Dating Apps? Ep. 344

Question:
What is the best way for a 49-year-old to meet a guy? In person or an app? Cuz it's rough out here!

Answer:
It’s a jungle out there. I should know. I spent 27 years on the dating scene. I get how frustrating it can be. 😫

To address this question, I discuss some strategies that helped me when I was single—ones I talk about in my book, Single is the New Black: Don’t Wear White ‘til it’s Right.

I also share how I met my husband through a dating service called It’s Just Lunch. (Hear more about IJL in episode 46 of Love & Life!)

Elliott and I offer ways to reframe the frustrating reality of finding yourself out of step with where you hoped to be at a particular age.

We also consider ways to utilize dating apps without getting completely burned out.

Should you choose to hop on an app, be sure to check out my conversation with Dr. Duana Welch who met her husband on an app. It’s episode 169 of Love & Life (linked below)!
