"My alone feels so good, I'll only have you if you're sweeter than my solitude."– Warsan ShireIn episode 17, Wine Tears and Jellybeans, Elaina is joined by entrepreneur and vocal coach Katti Powell along with author and Relationship and Dating Coach Ieva Kambarovaite in a discussion about their experiences, challenges, anxieties when it comes to dating in their 40's.Dating at any age is a challenge. As we grow, learn mature, and discover who we are as individuals, one would think that dating and finding someone to connect with would become more comfortable. For some, that is not always the case. Our life experiences and journeys shape our worldview, and often we carry the weight of past experiences into new ones. How do we move beyond these fears and anxieties to find not only ourselves but a life partner?Elaina shares how she is often bombarded with inappropriate messages and requests for sexual favors within the first interaction with someone. Elaina also shares how overwhelming it can become when filtering through the scammers and fake profiles.Elaina said you have so many catfish out there. So many scammers out there. If I get one more person. Who tells me that they are in Syria on a peace mission or they are getting ready to lose their internet and they will, I am going to lose it.Katti shares how she has met some genuinely nice men; however, being recently divorced and adapting to the new style of dating, meaning, dating multiple people at the same time, is not what she anticipated.Katti said, Yeah. Okay, so I was married for 17 years when I, the last time I dated. Dating sites to the best of my knowledge didn't exist. I met some really amazing people. The men, at least that I was talking to in December, were saying, "I'm meeting all kinds of women, and I'm dating all kinds of people all at once." And I was like, huh? What?Ieva said it's very difficult for men as well. I know there was more choice for men, way more choice because you know, women are beautiful and they know they're right angles and all these things, but it's very difficult for guys out there as well.Ieva added, some guys, they like mature older women because they like the quality of the conversation. They like the fact that. A woman really knows herself.
