At 55, here are some random thoughts in no particular order.
First date horror stories on your first date are fun and interesting and I honestly can't believe so many men are incredible *******s. I should have written down some of the things I've heard.
Do something active and exciting on a first date. My best, for summer time mostly, is to get two canvases and bring some brushes and acrylics. Packing a picnic lunch and painting along the Charles River pays, umm, dividends later that day. Every time.
Women in their 40s love sex and are pretty aggressive about it.
Women lie about their age by posting their real age with 10 year old pics in their profile.
Men lie about their height and their age by posting bigger and smaller numbers in their profile.
Don't text endlessly.
Look for red flags that they are married or not really into you but along for the ride because they are bored.
At this age it's hard to believe you have to say this but confidence is everything.
It is the rare woman who likes cars. All of them like to go on drives/rides.
Only date people with friends.
Only date people with a real life who does things and likes conversation. Though if you don't, I guess that's ok. I've been trapped by attractive women who like intimacy but are boring as hell. No, I don't want to hear what Tim did to Sherri in accounting, again, and again, and again. I think one my biggest turn-offs is women whose lives revolve around office intrigue and what they watch on TV.
Have a date with a 53 year old tomorrow night, she invited me to dinner at a restaurant she likes. First 50+ so this should be interesting.
Also texting with a 43 year old who 3 inches taller (I'm pretty short at 5'10") but she's fine with it. I'm looking forward to meeting her though she's a little too far on the introvert side I fear. We'll see.
For dates, do something you want to do, something you would want to do by yourself, and she will want to do too. That you are having a good time, because it's not a date, it's a fun activity you are into, makes you shine a little brighter.
I never go on let's have coffee dates.
