Maureen Dowd's most recent New York Times article, "An Ideal Husband" talks about “how to dodge mates who would maul your happiness.” I loved this article about avoiding falling in love with someone who is not good marriage material, and how it is key to happiness.
Ever wonder why we long for love? Helen Fisher’s amazing talk on Ted.com talk “The Brain in Love," discusses what really happens inside our head when we’re in love. She’s an anthropologist who is best known as an expert on romantic love. She studies gender differences and the evolution of human emotions. In this talk, she talks about a research project where she and her team took MRIs of people in love -- and people who had just been dumped. Guess what? Feeling "needy" is part of our biology! Her video is fascinating.
For a fun way to meet other singles, check out Quiz Dates. It's a fun team trivia quiz, which is a great no-pressure way to meet singles. Teams are comprised of women and men who answer the questions that are fired by the Emcee and fun prizes are awarded to the top scoring teams. They mix up the teams after each round of questions and you'll meet everyone in the room. Quiz topics include Pop Culture, General Knowledge, Music, Photos of Famous People and Entertainment. At the moment, it's mostly a younger crowd. However, starting in October, monthly mid-life events will be starting. Stay tuned for more info.

As a mid-life woman, you have mastered your life. You've established your lifestyle and career, developed friendships, perhaps brought up your family, and you're pretty confident about your place in the world. But, when you're dating, you may start feeling like a stranger in a strange land. "Who are these guys?" "How on earth can I connect with one of them?" The incongruity between your feelings of competence in the rest of your life and the confusion you feel around dating can be so disconcerting that you give up all together. |

 "Sincere, easy-going guy seeks playful, kind-hearted woman..." It should be easy, right? We often think that success in our love life should come naturally. "It's just a matter of meeting the right person...being in the right place at the right time...just letting it happen...it happens when you're not looking..." When it doesn't, we get discouraged. Maybe we'll ask a friend for advice, read a book about meeting people, cruise Match.com, go to singles events--"just looking..." Women can seem like they aren't truly available. You tell yourself that they are too picky, too interested in their busy lives, have too much baggage to be available for the kind of relationship that you want. Getting to know them can often be awkward--too much like a job interview. If only you could skip all of that, cut through the BS and find an affectionate, sexy woman who appreciates the real you.
It would be great if all you had to do is read a how-to book and follow the step-by-step directions. For most guys, it takes more than just going to a bar, the grocery store, a dance or social event--although sitting at home, guarantees that you aren't going to meet anyone. Working with a coach who has expertise in dating can give you a real advantage. We can help you set a course and be your silent partner as you navigate through the often mysterious world of dating.
Why coaching? What if you wanted to become more successful at public speaking? It looks easy. Actually doing public speaking is not that easy, unless you have a natural gift or talent. A coaching program like Toastmasters can help you speak with ease, through practice, success and positive reinforcement.
 Dating coaching works the same way. Mid-life dating has it's own unique set of challenges. At Get A Love Life, we understand and are equipped to help you turn them into your advantage.
