Want to start dating again but don't know where to begin?
Posted Sep 12 2008 9:17am
Not many of the readers of this blog will know this but, before I was a retirement coach, my main coaching area was helping newly-single women to survive re-entry into 'singlehood'. I even wrote a book on the subject - 'Successfully Single: 101 ways to love being single again'.
I've been revisiting these roots this year by designing a one-day live course and a 30 day ecourse/support program to help separated, divorced and widowed women who are ready to start dating again after a long interlude but don't really know where to begin.
The courses are called Ready, Steady, Date... because they're for women who are probably in their 40's, 50's and 60's who are 'Ready' to start dating again after many years in a relationship, but who want to take it 'Steady' and get their act together first with regard to ensuring personal safety, familiarising themselves with current dating 'etiquette' and generally determining what they want, need and expect from a relationship at their particular stage of life.
The Ready, Steady, Date... website can be found at www.ReadySteadyDate.com, giving details of the live course dates (which are all held in the UK) but the 30 day support program is delivered via email and teleconference bridge line, which means that women can attend no matter where they live in the world.
