Once you get beyond the general character traits, there are some fundamental questions you need answers to before you decide if this is the right person for you.
Dear Jennifer,
It has been 10 long years since my divorce and now at the ripe old age of 55, I find myself back out here dating. I have gone on a few dates but now with COVID, it has become harder to date however I have found that the communication has really opened up and the men are wanting to get to know me better. The question I keep getting is what and I am looking for and honestly, I don’t know. Of course, I want to be attracted to him and for us to be compatible but I don’t know if at 55 those things should be important. I meet a lot of guys that have different values but I still have a good time when I am with them. Should that matter as long as we enjoy each other's company? I have kinda found their differences to be a turn on. I really would love some advice on what I should be looking for at my age. I don’t want to screw this up again.
Thanks,
Susan B
