This blog is designed for anyone interested in stories, advice, and lessons from the dating front.

If you are over 40 and haven't dated in a while -- or even if you have -- you'll learn ways to approach dating with zeal, optimism, and hope. Even if you have had more than your share of negative experiences, I'll share how to see what lessons you can glean from those adventures, rather than just declaring that "all men are jerks" or "men are just looking for sex."

While most of the perspective will be from a woman to women, we welcome men's comments of your experiences and lessons.
