Love at 55 +: A New Beginning

This reflection has gained special relevance after a recent coaching session with a friend, where the depth of the shared topic pushed me to structure this induction and also inspired me to write more of the topic. As a result of that meeting, I have prepared a short but deep guide designed to start this path of emotional openness, with the purpose of continuing to delve into it.

Ready to Love Again? Essential Questions

What are you looking for in a relationship: Company to go out, live the day, travel company, weekend company, life partner, exclusivity .., create moments, create a home.

Why and why do you want a partner: Heart asks for it, you fear old age, Your friends are all in a couple, your children and family would be calmer, you are uncomfortable with the typical question and you are alone, and that?

Knowing who I am and what I want deep down, is basic and very definitive so as not to waste time and energy for both parties.

Who am I today really?

• Time that I dedicate to my hobbies, hobbies, work

  
  

• Habits: Early bird, smoking.....

  
  

• Eating style, lifestyle.

  
  

• My limitations and my social capital: Physics, humor, personality, economy, emotional.

  
  

• How long has it been since my last breakup?

  
  

• What did I learn from my previous relationships? What I can't get over yet?

  
  

• I have ideas, limiting beliefs about love and relationships

Characteristics of the other person: How do you imagine it, how would you like it?

• Emotional

  
  

• Economics

  
  

• Social sciences

  
  

• Intellectuals

  
  

• Non-negotiable

  
  

• Negotiable

  
  

• I will be compatible with that person that I imagine and would like in my life

  
  

• I'm attractive to that person I want in my life

  
  

• How much are you similar to what you are looking for in the other person?

What should I do internally and perhaps physically in my person to be more attractive to be with the person I have in my "mind"?

How open I am to being a couple:

Highly, how far do I go: I open a conversation with someone who catches my attention directly ...? , I use dating apps

I wish organically: What do I do to open that spectrum? Do I take classes, I'm part of groups of some kind, I have meetings at home, I go out with friends, I go to a park, cafeteria?

How am I when flirting, how am I socially?

I know my style, I like my style, do I use my style or my friends?

  Couples are two souls that recognize each other, attract, connect, enjoy and together they make the decision to open up to build that unique space for them every day....
