Online dating past the age of 50 is beyond frightening, but this Boomer Chick can tell you it can create a sense of excitement and independence! I set some rules for myself: I would have no expectations that a knight in shining armor would ride in and carry me away, and I am "good enough"! I would make no apologies for any self-perceived imperfections. Any man who couldn't befriend me in my "as is" condition was not the man for me. And so I jumped into the waters of online dating, feet first, eyes wide open, with a balance of scared anticipation and pure excitement. Once the journey began, I realized that I should share the lessons and insights I gained with other women in the hope that they would learn from my mistakes and my victories. I learned so much about my values and my desires. My passion for life grew stronger. I began to realize how important some things are to me, and I am actually not willing to give up on the things I truly value. I have also learned that a man with values, even those very different from my own, may not be willing to give up on those values. It takes a lot to have a meeting of the minds, but when the right man comes along, everything will suddenly make sense.
