Midlife dating can be beautiful, painful, funny, excruciating and inspiring. It can lead to the holy grail of a soulmate relationship but rarely without an interesting story along the way. This podcast focuses on everyday people’s stories – both the success stories and nightmare dates from hell – and teaches us that even the most disastrous stories can lead to us to important lessons in life and reminds us that we are not alone. Some of the questions we explore in the podcast– what is stopping people from online dating? What makes someone swipe left or right? What are the deal breakers when dating in midlife? Is there a strategy to success? What is ghosting and why do people do it? This podcast explores the everyday and the extraordinary moments of midlife dating, seeks to normalise the issues that arise, reduce the stigma of being single in midlife and support people who are on the sometimes difficult, sometimes beautiful journey to finding midlife love.

Ghosting. The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly, and without explanation, disappearing from all communication. This term is most often utilised in the context of online dating. Many of us midlife daters have both been ghosted and have ghosted someone who we just no longer want to communicate with. But why do we do it? And what is the impact on those who have been ghosted? We hear people's stories and finish with the story of someone who was ghosted in a pretty humiliating way but went on to find a relationship through an online dating site.
