Are you dating from scarcity or abundance? Here are five ways to tell the difference and know who’s driving your love life. If you’ve been dating for a while, especially in midlife, you’ve probably felt the pull of scarcity thinking.

Image
If you’re dating casually because you’re not ready for a relationship, that’s okay. But be careful not to make these 5 mistakes. Casual dating gets a bad reputation in the over 50 crowd. Some of my clients tell me they feel guilty even using the word casual, like it means they aren’t serious about finding love.
