| About to start dating again for the first time in a while. How’s the dating market in DC for a 35 year old woman? Any advice on how to find a suitable long term partner? |

Be yourself.
Do activities that you enjoy so that when you find someone, you already have something in common. Now is also a great time though to step just a little bit out of your comfort zone and try a new activity you always have day-dreamed about. Learn to ride a motorcycle? White water rafting? Scuba diving? Golf? Horseback riding? You're still young and adventure awaits! Don't feel like you have to sleep with someone because you are being gaslit into thinking its the "new norm". That's manipulative BS. The good men will find you. They'll wait. Always remember that its better to be alone than to be unhappily with someone else. Did I say be yourself? |

PP has it spot on!
Prioritize your own assets— financial sure, but intellectual, emotional and physical as well. Most relationships are between peers, so seek to be someone you’d want to date! Remember than men are plentiful and there is no extra credit given for “settling” or compromising your standards, especially in the D.C area. Ruthlessly avoid time wasters! No one whose divorce isn’t finalized, who isn’t sure they’re seeking a LTR, etc. |
