5 Minutes with Alice Solomon |
What are the three most important things a woman over 50 should consider when entering the dating field?
Her attitude, image, and expectations. Her attitude should reflect a willingness to be flexible, adaptable, and open to new adventures. Her image should portray her at her most attractive (yes, appearance does make a difference!). Her expectations should be realistic, not idealistic. There is a “Mr. Wonderful” but there is no “Mr. Perfect.”
Many single women over 50 are divorcd and a bit gun-shy. What’s the best way to get over it and get out there?
Just get out there! The phone won’t ring if you sit home week after week. Attend singles dances and parties with girlfriends. Talk to an appealing stranger in bookstore cafés or during theatre intermissions. Regain self-confidence, smile generously, and begin to enjoy, not pout about, a whole new life.
What can a 20-something woman take away from your book?
A great appearance means nothing if a woman lacks self-confidence and a sense of self, which is an important factor in identifying her wants and needs for a potential lifetime partner. And, a message for every woman, regardless of age - toss that long list of “wants,” rework to 3-5 “must-haves,” and see your eligibles multiply!
There are plenty of single men over 50. Any advice for them?
There are? Where? I know many single gals who would like to know! I really don’t think a single man needs much advice. As soon as he becomes single, there are 20 women waiting to soothe every ruffled wrinkle. If anything, perhaps, when a man over 50 is content within himself, he does not need a 25-year-old shapely cutie on his arm to show the world he is of value.
Any Valentine’s Day tips?
Mix a delicious, potent, peach margarita (or two), feel sorry for yourself for approximately ten minutes, and spend the rest of the night at the computer joining, or chatting on, a few online dating sites. This should keep you busy not only for the evening, but for a couple of months.
