Oh the Frogs I Kissed Before I Finally Found My Prince: A Dating Memoir for Seniors Trying to Navigate the Senior Dating Pond

Do you know that there are more people in their fifties and older who are trying to date? Are you overwhelmed, frustrated, and discouraged as you try to navigate the various dating ponds in your senior years? If you answered yes to either of these questions, this book is for you because it’s about the author’s dating journey after the age of fifty-five. And please know that journey is different for all of us now than when we were starting out. Paraphrasing what Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz might say, “We’re not in high school anymore!”

Once the author found the courage to date again (after a thirty-year marriage), she quickly learned that finding eligible men in the senior dating pond—at least those who were not looking for a ‘nurse’ or a ‘purse’—was quite overwhelming as well as quite the adventure! Yep, she encountered them all: a rude bully, a con artist, a narcissist, a cheater . . . to name a few. Along the way, she gathered her takeaways (lessons learned) from all these encounters so you can also learn from her ventures. You’ll also learn about the married jerks.

The good news is, all of this leads up to the silver lining, which is: Yes! She finally found her prince! Please join her as she shares stories that will not only entertain you but will also help you navigate those dating waters for yourself.
