I Hate You Now!

Dating in middle age is a challenge. It is important to remember midlife brings many changes and challenges. The first step in meeting someone you can connect with in a romantic relationship is to first know, love and embrace who you have become in middle age. What are you values? What are your beliefs?

During middle age people reflect on where they are in their life and where they want to go. Many people begin to change their lives in ways that align their life with their values. Middle age is time of potential and creativity, anything is possible.

Let’s get back to middle age dating. If one of your values is to be in a romantic relationship how can you make that happen? What is your plan? Where will you meet people? You probably realize by now that in order to meet someone you need to put yourself into situations where that can happen. Begin making a list of possible places to meet people. Who do you know? What interests do you have?

Change is scary, period. Putting yourself back into dating can be even scarier. Making any type of change in life involves risk. In fact midlife for many people is a time of risk taking and change as they strive for what they really want in life.

Do you want a romantic relationship? If you answered yes then get ready to take a risk! What is the worse that can happen? Let’s look at a few outcomes:

1. You feel uncomfortable before the date. Everyone feels uncomfortable before a first date!
2. You date someone once and decide you don’t want to go out with the person a second time. Bravo! You actually went out on a date.
3. You may date someone a few times and then they decide they don’t want to go out with you again. Rejection is painful and no one wants to be rejected. Remember, you have experienced rejections in the past and have survived so I am sure you will survive rejection again.
4. You meet someone and you both want to continue dating. YEAH!

Go ahead and put yourself out there. Let me know what happens.

Trying to heal your inner self after your relationship has failed because of an affair has just got to be one of the hardest things in life to go through. Not only are you extremely hurt and angry, but you also feel that your partner has betrayed all the trust that you once had for him/her.

Have you ever been on a date with a woman you met online and you just didn’t “feel it?”

I know I have. In fact, when I was first starting out with online dating I was getting increasingly frustrated at my inability to meet one of the “good ones.” I would go on date after date with VERY attractive women only to ultimately fail at making a true, lasting connection with most of them.

Well, I knew something had to change. Was it me? Was I just not compatible with any women?
No, that couldn’t be the case! After all, I had been in relationships with women before and things worked just fine. So why is it so HARD to meet the right woman from the Internet?

Well, that’s when it hit me like a ton of bricks… Screening!! I’m not screening correctly. In other words, I’m not really seeing a woman for who she is in her profile. If I’m not seeing what she’s really about before meeting her, then chances are, we’ll have a hard time making a connection in person. I need to screen women based on their profiles before I email them. Then my results will improve!

So, I had to take a long look at myself and figure out whom I really want. What are the qualities I most admire in a woman? Was there anyone I dated in the past where things really clicked? What was she like?

Well, based on my experiences, I was able to come up with a woman who is JUST my type. She has to be attractive with dark features. OK, that’s the physical stuff but there needs to be something deeper. She needs to have a certain personality type that’s different from mine. She must be my opposite.

Wow, that’s it!! All the women I’ve ever dated have been my opposite in personality type. Doesn’t really make sense but that’s when things worked out the best. I’m more of a quiet, analytical kind of guy. Well, I’m an engineer so that makes sense. Most of the women I’ve dated who I really liked were more outgoing and spontaneous. I always like a woman with a sense of adventure and creative flair. Well, then that is exactly what I need to be looking for online!

After I realized it was more about personality than anything else, I learned how to screen women in the correct way. Here I was focusing on trivial things like common interests and hobbies, when those things really didn’t matter at all.

Ever gone on a date with a woman who was JUST LIKE YOU. You thought she was your soul mate because she also loved sports, Volkswagens and rock climbing but it still didn’t work out??

Well, here’s why. She wasn’t your opposite in personality type. Opposites compliment each other and that’s why they get along so well.

So, next time you go online looking for HOT babes, you need to put things like hobbies and common interests on the back burner. Unfortunately, most Internet dating sites use these things to match people, which is totally wrong. Instead, really look at her profile and determine her personality. It’s not as tough as you think. Look at her writing style. Look at her pictures. If you look closely enough you will finally “see” her.

Once you become good at screening for your type, you’ll become a true Internet dating master in no time!
