The initial idea behind 50 Dates was to create a place for people to share dating stories. If you set up an average of two new dates per month, that’s 26 per year. After four years, you can exceed 100. Each of those meetups has a story. In the early days, there are a lot of one-and-done meetups. This is due to the learning curve involved with online dating.

1. There is no such thing as one just one soulmate for each of us. If you go out on 100 different dates, you’ll run across at least three to five really great candidates. You have to be ready when you meet them.
2. Dating more than one person at a time is nothing more than testing the waters and solves many problems.
Be aware of the reality of the heights of men in America. Roughly 15% are 6’ or taller. Many women cut their search parameters off at 6’ or taller. By doing so, they eliminate 85% of potential suitors. The height of the average American male is 5’9”. Open your search up to men shorter than 6’ to meet more prospective matches. Remember, it’s a numbers game. read more...
The initial idea behind 50 Dates was to create a place for people to share dating stories. If you set up an average of two new dates per month, that’s 26 per year. After four years, you can exceed 100. Each of those meetups has a story.
In the early days, there are a lot of one-and-done meetups. This is due to the learning curve involved with online dating. In online dating, you have to acquire many skills. This starts with writing a good profile and having great pictures taken. Next is learning how to properly communicate through the website or app interface. Then you have to pull the trigger: ask for the date and set up the logistics. At the date, you must demonstrate you’ve got your act together and can hold a good in-person conversation. If things go well, you get a second date and so on. You need to get proficient with each interval before you can successfully move to the next one. This requires lots of trial and error, which means lots of rejection.
I personally got to the point where I embraced rejection. It was like a classroom with enough success along the way to keep me busy. I figured I could use the skills I’d learned to teach other men how to be more successful at online dating. The website moved in that direction.
However, the more dating I did, the more I really began the see the big picture. Many people find dates online, but few, it seems, are able to find quality partners. Many of the women I met while dating had very strong opinions regarding dating. They had some great stories. Things were just not what they used to be! This showed me where the true need was for this website.
There are many dating websites and apps that help match up singles in all age groups. In our age group (40’s, 50’s and 60’s), most of us are getting second chances to find a quality person to be with. As such, 50 Dates at 50 is about learning from our life experience, growing into better people and better daters, understanding what it is to be relationship ready, and keeping long-term relationships fresh and strong. In a successful dating relationship, two people who are growth-minded and open to making small tweaks that help them become the ideal couple find and commit to each other.
50 Dates at 50 was launched in July of 2020 after twenty-plus months and with the help of four web developers.
