Today I’m delighted to share a post from my dear friend and brilliant colleague, Dr. Tina Tessina, Ph.D., a.k.a. Dr. Romance. Tina takes on one of the biggest challenges we face as single women: how to become an expert man-picker. For those of you looking to bring love in to your life, I encourage you …

Since you all can’t all attend my upcoming Live Event “The Art of Magnetizing Men“, I wanted to share my #1 Top Tip for being a midlife man magnet. Then I figured: why not invite my two guest experts to share theirs! Let me know your thoughts! (Note: The Early Bird pricing for “The Art …

What do you do when a man asks you out and you aren’t interested? Are you worried about hurting his feelings? I get this question quite frequently because, after all, we want to please men, right? Here are my simple tips for how to say “no” to a guy you don’t want to see again …

I read something interesting about men this week: In making a first impression with men, women have about 15 minutes. Women, on the other hand, take about an hour to make up their minds about guys. Seems true. Larry says he knew after just a few minutes after I “flitted in” to the coffee shop …

Were you at last Friday’s Grownup Girls’ Night Out Live Man Panel? I had three men — ages 40s, 50s and 70s –  generously share their thoughts and feelings about what attracts them to women, what to do on dates, how to tell if a man is into you…and much more. It was spectacular. There …

No matter your age, the way to connect with a man in the “I think you’re hot and would be interested in going out with you” way is to flirt. When I suggest that to the over-40 single women in my dating workshops and coaching programs, I can see them cringe. Most of these otherwise …

Ever felt like you were standing on the sidelines, hoping a fabulous man would swoop in and name you his permanent teammate?  Stop waiting to be picked and become an expert picker. All it takes is some shifting of your “list.” Start choosing the good guys and dump the jerks, leavers and losers. Here, we focus on …

In what ways is dating in our 50s different than dating in our younger years? That was a question I was recently asked in an interview for an article in Huff/Po50. One of the key differences I shared is this: As a person in midlife, you now have much more “stuff” behind you, and you …

Here is a story that you may not immediately relate to, but stay with me. It may very well lead you to a mid-week dating or relationship breakthrough! One of my current coaching clients, Sharon, (who gave me permission to share) came to me because she was dating, but not getting any traction romantically. She …

A single man I know once said: If a woman I’m interested in doesn’t seem to love herself, why should I love her…and trying to convince her that she’s great would be too f—ing exhausting. When a man meets this kind of woman he may be attracted initially, but after figuring out that she is …

Once again I’m addressing the basic question: Where do I meet single men? But it’s actually a little more. What if a good lookin’ single guy is standing in front of you? Then what do you do to actually get him to talk to you? It’s actually easier than you may think. When you’re buying …

I read this quote recently: I love that feeling of being in love, the effect of having butterflies when you wake up in the morning. That is special.  ~ Jennifer Aniston I love her, and no offense meant, but how has that butterfly-thing been working for Jen so far? During my 35-plus years of loneliness, …
