When I review my clients\u2019 profiles for online dating, I look at their search ranges for a mate of age, height, income, personal status (never married, divorced, children) and distance you would go to meet someone.\u00a0 What I see is many are limiting themselves too much and are missing opportunities!<\/font><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk age range.\u00a0 Honestly, I have not seen a successful (non celebrity) relationship that the woman was more that 7 years older.\u00a0 Men, can be up to 15 years older, however, consider their life goals and if they mesh with yours.\u00a0 As a woman I would go 5 years younger and ten years older.\u00a0\u00a0 As a man, I would look for someone ten years younger and up to 5 years older.\u00a0 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

What if someone lies about their age?\u00a0 Well there is nothing that you can do.\u00a0 When you meet them, you will probably be able to determine if the person has been truthful.\u00a0 Sometimes age really matters especially if you are looking to have a family.\u00a0 Otherwise, age is a preference and is not that critical.\u00a0\u00a0 I have seen some young looking energetic people in their 60\u2019s and those appear much older than their years in their 30\u2019s.\u00a0 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Now, what about height?\u00a0 Do your really need a man who is over 6 feet?\u00a0 Height may be important, however, I have seen many relationships that the man is the same height or even somewhat shorter than the woman.\u00a0 What really matters is their personality and how the man makes you feel.\u00a0 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

When considering personal status, many times I my dating advice is to date people you have considered to be off limits in the past.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s always good to check out their story and not assume stuff.\u00a0\u00a0 If they are over 40 and never married, then what were the circumstances that led to that?\u00a0 Where is that person now in their life?\u00a0 What do they want?\u00a0 My husband was 47 and never married.\u00a0 I had to get over my prejudice about who had never have been married who were over 40.\u00a0 (As a divorced person I used to thing, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with them?\u201d).\u00a0 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Also, I usually advise my clients to not date someone who is separated. (They are not technically or emotionally available).\u00a0 However, there are circumstances where the separated person is through their difficulties with their ex and is waiting for the legal date of the divorce.\u00a0 One of my clients successfully married a man who was finishing up his divorce.\u00a0 Everything was in place for the divorce and her husband had been emotionally separated for a very long time. \u00a0As it turns out the man was ready to move forward with my client and start a new life and a family.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

And last, how far would you go for love?\u00a0 Many times my dating advice to my clients is to widen their search to 100 miles from 25 miles radius.\u00a0 That is a city away.\u00a0 I live in Washington, DC and 100 miles would include Philadelphia, Baltimore and Richmond. \u00a0\u00a0That is a doable drive during a weekend.\u00a0 Would you be willing to travel 500 miles for love?\u00a0 Across an ocean?\u00a0 Across to the other side of the world?\u00a0\u00a0 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Are you willing to challenge yourself on who you are willing to date?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What can you do to widen your search scope?\u00a0 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
