If you are still dating over 40, my biggest advice would be to carefully plan things out. Dating over 40 is not the same as dating when you are in your 20s. You are already in your 40s, so you have to take things seriously now. You cannot fool around anymore or go on as many dates as you can because during your 40s is the time where you are supposed to plan when you will settle down with someone. Just make sure that you really get to know someone first before going on a date with them, so that the possibility of the two of you having things in common is higher.
