Dating After Divorce: Did I End it Too Soon?
Dear Ronnie – The Dating Coach, I am 37 with a school-aged child.

Dating Over 40: New Lovers Kissing on the Beach
Love after 40, 50, 60 etc. I saw it with my own eyes. Two people kissing on the beach last Sunday. They looked like a lovely couple. Both were tall and in their bathing suits. Both had grey hair. It was the most perfect afternoon at the beach. The wind was light, blowing her shoulder-length, salt and pepper hair. The tide was out and they stood on the sand bar, ankle deep in the water. The tiny waves rushed their ankles, covering and... [Read More...]
Dear Ronnie – The Dating Coach I recently met a man, 58, divorced for about 8 years now. He has grown children in their 20′s.

Dating Over 40: How to Make the Most of a Singles Dance
Make the most of singles dances I bet you ‘ve been to a singles dance or two and thought it was just horrible. When I was dating, I go every six months. It was always a drama scene.

Then I’d go to meet a bunch of girlfriends at the dance. We’d... [Read More...]
Dating Over 40: Why Flirting Works with the Way Men Think
Yesterday, the post was about how men think. They don’t think like women do. They don’t wonder why things are the way they are or search for deeper meaning. So, to capture a man’s attention, you can’t be too subtle. I recommended holding a man’s gaze for 3-5 seconds before gracefully turning away. Then check back f minute later to catch his eye again.
