My 5 Cheeky Dating Rules for Women Over 55

So I told my friend her left-shoulder plan was cute but she needed real rules before jumping back into the dating pool at fifty-eight.

After three marriages I gave her these five instead.

1. Never split the bill. Let him pay every time and order the good wine. My first husband taught me that one the hard way when he kept the change.
2. Skip the ex talk. No one wants to hear about husband number two on date one. Save those stories for year three when he’s hooked.
3. Wear the red dress. The velvet one that shows your collarbones and stops just above the knee. My current husband still can’t look away.
4. Fake the laugh. Even when his joke lands like a lead balloon. A little head tilt and soft giggle works wonders at this age.
5. Always have an exit. Text your girlfriend at nine sharp so she calls with “news.” Works better than any fake family emergency.

That’s how you stay ahead of the game, Sweetie.
