Really enjoyed this, Anna. Not only is it filled with useful info, it’s a refreshing antidote to all the online dating and partnership coaches determined to funnel every 40-plus soul in singles limbo into the world of joint tax returns.

After a decades long, passionate partnership with a fabulous man that completed in caregiving and widowhood three years ago, there was no way I could envision myself on a dating site. Flash forward to summer 2016, the grieving and healing cycles having wound down. I was as ready as a debutante to dance out into the world again. Only now, in my late sixties — though with a body and mind that don’t act their age — I’ve been feeling like Woody Allen’s “Sleeper,” blinking my eyes in perplexity at the plethora of dating sites. Not to mention the mentality required to navigate them. As for Tinder, would I dare?

Now, thanks to you, Dear Anna, I can buy myself a nice satin belt to put some new notches on.
