“Do I want to date again? Is it worth the effort at 68 years old?” I answer this dating dilemma here and on the podcast.

—

I’m so excited to introduce something new here at Last First Date: Dating Dilemmas. Readers and listeners submit their real dating questions and dilemmas, and I answer a selection of them right here on the blog, and on Last First Date Radio as video and audio episodes. If you have a dating dilemma you’d love answered, submit yours here: https://tinyurl.com/datingdilemma

Our first Dating Dilemma comes from a woman who sent in this question:

“How do I determine if I even want to date or have another relationship? 68 years old, two marriages (24 and 10 years). A few long term relationships. Last one ended over a year ago. I am financially secure and have some good friends. Like having my own space. I do miss intimacy but that is not guaranteed with men in my age range. Every time I start to prepare to go on the apps I end up thinking it’s not worth the effort. I don’t know if I’m being realistic or just scared.”
