Dating a Widower: Can He Be Your Mr. Right?
Many of my clients ask me about dating widowers, as I specialize in helping older women find love. Is dating a widower a waste of time? Do I need to proceed with caution? Is it a losing proposition? My answer might surprise you.
Widowers can be some of the most attractive and mature men.
Women are often asked for advice on how to become better at picking partners. They need to be able to identify the obvious gems and the less obvious ones. A good picker is someone who can spot the bad guys and avoid them, but also, more importantly, not miss the good ones. There are plenty of good men out there, and many of them are widowers.
Why Consider Dating a Widower?
A man who has had a successful marriage is a man of commitment and love. This man is likely to be a good lover, communicator, committed, and able to work through issues. He may also miss being married. When a man has a successful relationship, he puts his heart and soul into it. When it ends, he is often left with a huge void. If he is serious about finding new love and knows what he’s looking for, he will take his search seriously.
Let’s be honest. We are not 20 anymore. We’ve been through a lot—love, heartbreaks, successes, and failures. Losing a spouse is a significant event, but widowhood is not the end of the story.
Real-Life Example
My 65-year-old client met a widower, 71 years of age. Should you be on the lookout for any red flags? Absolutely, yes! This is true for all the men you date. Pay attention to how he feels and what his life is like right now.
Dating a widower can be a rewarding experience. With patience, understanding, and clear communication, you can build a meaningful relationship.
