Book: Dating after 50

Don’t take the title to heart — it’s not suggesting that you haven’t a clue about human relationships; it’s just another in the educational ‘dummies’ book series!

Published last January, it recognises there is a demand from an over-50 readership to get guidance about forming new romantic relationships.

Some of the areas the book covers includes the physical and emotional benefits of sex and relationships as we age; dating confidence boosters; dating site options (and signing up for the first trial); safety concerns; fun and different dating ideas and how to introduce a new partner to your children.

It also advises how to deal with medical issues that can make sex difficult; offers dating advice for same sex relationships and how to build your self-esteem.
