Dating in midlife can feel exciting, daunting, confusing and full of possibility, often all at once. Whether you are on your own and would like to find a partner, have tried online dating and found it frustrating, or simply feel unsure about where and how to meet good men, this free online session is designed to offer practical guidance, reassurance and fresh perspective.

In this thoughtful Really Helpful Club webinar, Mairi will introduce her science based approach to finding the right partner for a happy, lasting relationship. She will also share her own story of changing the way she approached dating and finding the love of her life in her 50s.

You will learn how to build confidence and self esteem, how to recognise the qualities that matter in a long term partner, how to create an online dating profile that attracts the right men and filters out the wrong ones, and where to meet good men in real life.

There will also be time for Q&A, giving you the chance to ask your own questions and take part in a warm, thoughtful discussion in the Really Helpful Club style.

This is not about dating perfectly. It is about approaching this new chapter with more confidence, clarity, curiosity and self trust.
