Someone who makes their wounds their love language. That’s a beautiful way of putting it.

I found my partner on Match, 17 years ago at age 45! Back then, using the apps was still pretty cringe and I made up a story of how we met. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I know. Who cares, right? Went on a few look-sees before I found Felix. My advice? 100% be yourself as though you're seeking a friend not auditioning for THE ONE. And, if you like 'em tall (like I do) make 6'2" the min. Sorry, not sorry. Guys who say they're 6' are 5'10" IRL. 🤪❤️☘️

I've never heard of Amy and the services she provides. Helping older women navigate the dating world is so important, as dating when older is a different landscape than dating as a younger person. I love the last two sentences of this post: "Know this: being lovable is your birthright. You are lovable right here, right now, just as you are."

I've followed Amy for years and she is absolute magic! (Ever since her parenting books.) I love her kind, nuanced approach to dating and self-care in general.
