“I despise the moniker “gray.” I think it denotes being drained of all vitality, and that certainly isn’t me. I love dating in my 50s. Dating in my 20s was fraught with all sorts of impediments: anxiety, my parent’s expectations, my lack of self-awareness, my neediness and my inability to establish boundaries. It’s no wonder I ended up in an unhappy marriage. I’m in a much better place now. I know how to communicate what I need. I’ve given myself a much broader playing field. Yes, I’ve been rejected a few times, but those rejections don’t have nearly as much power over me as they did back in the day. It’s so exciting, meeting new people and discovering new things. The end goal doesn’t have to be a committed relationship. It doesn’t even have to be a sexual relationship. I think this is the best time of my life. Listening to this podcast just makes me sad that everybody isn’t having a blast like me.”
