Love After 50 [Paperback]

Marion Eggleton (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2005

Lyricists say that there is someone special for everyone – a “soulmate.” The dream of every single woman is to find that special friend, companion, lover, and lifetime partner who we define as our soulmate. The one that we are destined to meet, but seem to illusively miss. Dating, which seemed so natural when we were young, seems to become increasingly complex as we grow older. A variety of issues enter the equation as to how and where to meet a new love; how to know if he is the one. Issues of safety, family and financial considerations cloud the desire to meet this new love. Love After 50 - A Woman’s Guide to Starting Over explores this thing we call the mating game, what went wrong with our high school dreams, the need to have someone new in our lives, the dating myths, where to look for someone new, the proactive approach of personal ads, where and how to place ads, how to respond to ads, the growing acceptance of the Internet, how to use it to your advantage, the 21st Century man and what to expect, dating issues, and how to beat the odds in starting over.

This review is from: Love After 50 (Paperback)

In this outstanding work author Marion Eggleton lays bare the many hidden concerns with finding a meaningful relationship after the age of 50. Many by this age are alone due to death or divorce and face the prospects of years of loneliness because of misconceptions of allowing oneself to be open to a new relationship.
In this work, our author discusses openly the many fears and challenges that tend to prevent people from moving forward and enjoying the latter part of their lives with someone new.
Such questions are addresses as, "Love," "Why Do I Need Someone New?" "Dating Myths," and so much more. He challenges you to examine your own motives that are hindering you from meeting someone new and you will find pages of practical advice to help you overcome these fears.

You will also find pages of websites that offer safe ways to meet new people and listings of magazines that allow you to search for the person who may be just right for you. A little apprehensive? Don't worry, these fears are addressed as well. There is even a website listed that provides a background search for you to use that would definitely make you feel more secure concerning that new person you just might be interested in.

All in all this is a real encouraging book for men and women over the age of 50, who long to continue enjoying life to the fullest and would like someone to share that with. Recommended.
