Midlife Dating Podcast
Dating in midlife isn’t easy. After his 21-year marriage ended, Paul Nelson found himself back in the dating world. Over the next decade, he went on over 180 first dates, had countless phone calls, and engaged in thousands of online conversations. What he discovered along the way wasn’t just how to date again, but how much personal growth it takes to become the kind of partner you truly want to attract.
On the Midlife Dating Podcast, Paul is your guide to the nuances of dating learned on the street level. It’s the little things that add up. The mistakes you make aren’t setbacks—they’re growth opportunities. They allow you to adjust and course correct. Only then can you find someone who’s also done the work.
Episodes blend practical advice, book and movie reviews, and real-life stories with hard-earned insights. Paul’s goal is simple: to help Gen Xers and Baby Boomers date smarter, laugh more, have fun, and conserve our most valuable commodity—time.
If you’re ready to stop repeating the past and create some great memories moving forward, the Midlife Dating Podcast is for you.
