Dating in your 20s and even early 30s is a lot different than dating in your 20s. You’ve experienced more, have more, hopefully know more and are more comfortable with yourself. Given all of this, following is some dating advice for the 40+ woman.1. Do Tell: In spite of what a lot of dating advice gurus will tell you, spill the beans about what you want and expect. I’ve found, it’s not what you say, but how you say
it.If you come off as desperate, angry and/or uncompromising, then no matter what you say, it will be perceived as a demand. For example, instead of saying, “I don’t like the dating scene and I would love to settle down and get married (again),” try”After being out of the dating scene for so long, it’s intimidating to be out here again. But, I’ve embraced the experience and am taking it as a chance to learn more about myself. One thing I’ve learned is that when the right person comes along (again), I’d love to give domesticity another shot.”Saying this does several things to put your date at ease: a) it shows you’re not desperate (eg, when the right person comes along again); b) shows that you embrace challenges (eg, taking it as a chance to learn more about myself); and c) shows you’re not afraid to be vulnerable (eg, it’s intimidating to be out here again).And, work to mean every word of this. So by all means, get your point across, just do it in a way that doesn’t intimidate your date, or make you look desperate.2. Date Outside of Your Comfort Zone: I once read a story about a woman who went on a year-long dating odyssey. She decided that whoever asked her out, she would go out with them, no matter what.She even went out with a homeless guy! Now, I’m not saying you have to go that far, but don’t shoot for the same ole “type” every time. I have some personal experience with this. My fiancé is quite a few years younger than I am. At 40, no one ever could have told me that I would wind up with someone in their 20s (Demi, I’m with ya girl!).

First mistake singles usually make is lying on their internet profile. Lying isn’t something everyone will forgive you for. You should always be honest. Trusting people who are on internet dating web sites is already one big thing. Honesty is always an attractive trait.Having an empty profile will keep you from being contacted. If your profile is empty other singles will think you are only there to browse. You should have a detailed dating profile so other singles can feel as if they
know what kind of person you are. They want to see things you enjoy and goals you have set. With that information they can get an idea of a future with you.Not sending e-mails can affect your dating results. There are many singles that never send e-mails, and the reason for this is you can’t until you have paid membership fees. You can reply to other singles but you need to have your own contact. Just receiving contact from other singles is no good at all. Other singles like to receive e-mails. This is what starts the flirting or relationship. You should add that personal touch to show the other singles that you are attracted to them by what you read in their profile.Contacting singles just because you like their photo will get you disappointment. The most attractive singles will always get the most messages. These will usually be smiles or flirts from other singles on a free trial, and will rarely get a reply so you’ll start assuming that no one wants to reply to your messages. You should always read someone’s profile first before making any contact, and then send them an e-mail. Just because you like someone’s profile photo doesn’t mean you will have a lasting relationship with them, and probably won’t get you past the first date.Not visiting the online dating service will stop singles from contacting you. Most of today’s dating web sites will show the last time you have been online. If you only visit the service once a month other singles will see this, and it will show that you are not that serious in finding a date. The more active you are your personal profile will get higher in the search results as the internet dating service likes activity as well.

What are your options? Weigh the pros and cons.If you can qualify for a mortgage, borrowing against the equity in your home to consolidate all of your debt does have certain benefits, as well as real pitfalls. On the positive side you can immediately eliminate monthly payments. You can also stop bill collectors from calling or taking
legal action because, after all, you’ve paid your debts in full. Finally, the process may actually help you improve your credit rating. First of all, you have to be able to qualify for a loan or a mortgage. You risk losing your home if you’re not able to maintain the payments set up when you borrow against the equity in your house. The debt you’re paying off is not eliminated, it is simply restructure and you run a risk of overextending yourself again. And something a little less tangible, but still very real, you may get a false sense of security… a feeling that the debt is no longer there when in fact it’s tied up in your home. Would a debt consolidation service or consumer credit counseling program be better?Signing up for a debt consolidation service or consumer credit counseling program will immediately decrease your monthly payments to the debts you still owe. Bill collectors will not be harassing you as much, though there is the possibility that collection action will not go away entirely. The programs do teach better money management skills and are successful in eliminating penalties, interest and additional fees on the debts you already have incurred. However, you will not be able to get new credit cards while in the program and you’ll need to qualify by having a certain level of unsecured debt because these programs only work with unsecured debt. If you’re behind on your mortgage you could still lose your home. And it’s possible that participating in such a program may have a negative impact on your credit rating. A couple of tips before you join.

There are a plethora of debt consolidation options available. These include using the equity in your home to get a debt consolidation loan, working with a credit counseling agency or arranging for a line of credit that is large enough to cover all of your debts into one payment. It makes
sense to investigate the options available to you for debt consolidation. How to Use Your Equity for Debt ConsolidationThere are generally two ways to use your home equity for debt consolidation. You can get a second mortgage or a home equity line of credit. There are both advantages and disadvantages to using the equity in your home to get a loan for debt consolidation. The advantages are that you can lower your monthly financial obligations and improve your credit rating. You can also get out of debt immediately, as opposed to longer term solutions offered by credit counseling agencies. The disadvantages to this debt consolidation solution include that if you don’t make your payments, you can lose your house. Also, because your credit rating is poor due to your debt issues, it can be hard to find a reputable lender and a good interest rate. These agencies contact your creditors and make a deal with them for payment. You then make monthly payments to the agency who disburses them on your behalf to your creditors. This can be a good way to get out of debt, but it is more long-term and you have to make sure that your payments are on time or you will be right back where you started. Using Charge Card ConsolidationCharge card debt consolidation is one of the more risky choices when it comes to debt consolidation. Charge card debt consolidation involves getting a charge card with a limit that would cover all of your current debts. Once you get this credit card, you can then pay off your other debts and have only one payment that is hopefully lower than what you were paying on all those other debts. The major advantage of this option is that you don’t have to get a loan or endure the embarrassment of working with a credit counseling service. You pay off your debts all at once, but still have a payment to your new credit card.
