Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, a photo of you , and something you like to do for fun. 😊

I think a good topic would be boundaries because you wanna be accommodating but you need to protect yourself. I never had to set boundaries so I kind of don’t know what exactly they are. I went from 43 years married to single.

Hi, everyone. I'm new here, so I'll be brief. I personally hate "cold calls", a term I borrowed from sales lingo, when a new salesperson has to call total strangers to appoint product presentations. What I mean is that I hate those first chats that feel very cold, indeed. It would be great to share some of the ways other (partial in my case) introverts overcome that and how they kickstart chats so they make it fresh and innovative without resorting to "rizz" or whatever they call gaming these days. Thank you everyone for your input in advance

Dear members, Our community is officially getting a new name and theme!! Real Talk for Singles 50+ is now → Find Love After 50 [aka FLAF]. Along with that, you may have noticed a "subtle" Seinfeld-inspired vibe... (I still find that show hilarious after all those years). Why the change? Dating does not need to feel heavy, frustrating, or soul-sucking. Many of you are thoughtful, accomplished, emotionally aware humans… and yet dating can start to feel like a second job with terrible benefits. So I’m rebranding the community with a clear intention (and to set the example) 👉 More fun. Less formality. 👉 More playfulness. Less overthinking. 👉 More courage to take risks and show up as your bold self. Less wondering what people will think of you. “Real Talk” served us well, but this next chapter is more forward-looking. It’s about momentum, possibility, not just talking, but actually making some bold moves. I'm giving you permission to experiment, laugh, and stop playing it so safe that nothing changes. Humor helps us loosen up, take risks, and stop treating dating like a referendum on our worth. So I want your honest take. Quick poll 👇 How does the new name and theme land for you? Feel free to comment if you want to say more. This community is a co-creation, and your feedback genuinely matters. Because dating after 50 should feel more like eating a big salad…and less like waiting around at Monk’s wondering if you'll ever land a table. — Dessi
