If you’re a single woman over 40 looking for Mr. Right and you’re ready to hear how to actually meet him—without the games and frustration—then you’re in the right place. In this episode, part three of my series Three Ways to Meet Mr. Right After 40, we’re tackling the dreaded world of online dating. Between fake profiles, married men, and time wasters, it’s easy to feel like online dating is more hassle than it’s worth. But I promise you, if done right, it can be an effective and powerful way to meet someone amazing. I’ve seen it work for my clients, and I even met my husband this way! So let’s break down how to make online dating a smart, intentional, and successful part of your dating journey.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• Why Mindset Matters: The way you approach online dating shapes your experience. If you go in thinking it’s a waste of time, guess what? That’s exactly what it will be.
• Internal Preparation Before You Sign Up: Before diving in, take time to reflect on your expectations and intentions. Ask yourself:
• What do I hope to get out of online dating?
• What kind of relationship am I looking for?
• Who do I believe is actually out there for me?
• How much time and energy am I willing to commit to the process?
• Shifting from Expectations to Intentions: Expectations can set you up for frustration, but intentions keep you in control. Instead of thinking, “I better meet someone immediately,” shift to “I intend to have fun and be open to meeting great people.”
• Handling the Emotional Rollercoaster: Acknowledge the emotions that come up—fear, frustration, even resentment from past relationships—so they don’t control your experience.
• Taking Practical Action: Once you’ve done the internal work, set yourself up for success with a structured approach:
• Schedule specific time slots for being on the apps (e.g., three times a week for 30 minutes).
• Approach it with curiosity and openness, rather than pressure and expectation.
• Recognize that quality connections take time, but a consistent and intentional approach will get you there.

Online dating doesn’t have to be a frustrating time-suck—it can actually be an empowering way to meet someone amazing. But it all starts with your mindset and approach. By getting clear on your intentions, managing expectations, and taking consistent action, you can make online dating work for you instead of against you. If you want to dive deeper into this framework and learn the exact process I used (and that I teach my clients) to meet Mr. Right, go back and check out Season One.
