I say all this to explain that I am also confused by the feedback she is getting from both dates and a dating coach. She’s being told that the getting to know you activities on dates don’t matter to men over 50. They prefer first date sex and if it’s a good experience, they’ll invest time in a second date.

If this is true, it seems like a considerable acceleration from the third date norm when I was last dating. I asked DH about his few single friends’ expectations. He said expecting and getting are two different things and most of them are smart enough to not write off a good woman simply because she didn’t sleep with them on the first date. My single brother said that the dynamics are weird where he lives because older single men considerably outnumber older single women.

If you are dating, is it really like that?

I’m a 50-something man dating after a divorce and this seems crazy to me. I’m less focused on sex than I was when I was younger — less uncontrollably horny than I was at 20-something and much more focused on emotional and intellectual compatibility. Perfectly happy to let weeks or even a few months go by getting to know someone before becoming sexual [/quote]
