#417 - Are You Neglecting Your Dating Life?
Let’s get brutally honest.
You’re working on your health.
You’re focusing on your career.
You’re remodeling your home.
You’re investing in your kids, your grandkids, your friends, your hobbies...
But when was the last time you invested in your dating life?
If you're like many midlife singles, you’ve probably pushed dating way down the list of priorities. Maybe even off the list entirely. Not because you don’t want love—but because you’ve convinced yourself that everything else is more important.
Here’s the wake-up call:
Neglecting your dating life doesn’t protect you. It robs you.
The Excuses We Tell Ourselves
We all have a story that justifies inaction:
-
“I’ve been hurt before. I’m not doing that again.”
-
“All the good ones are taken.”
-
“I just don’t have the desire to date anymore.”
-
“I’m too old to start over.”
-
“If God wants me in a relationship, He’ll bring the right person to me.”
-
“Honestly… I’ve gotten comfortable being single.”
Sound familiar?
These excuses feel valid. They may even be rooted in real pain. But they’re still keeping you stuck.
Each one is a subtle form of self-protection—designed to help you avoid rejection, disappointment, or the discomfort of change. But in reality? They’re barriers between you and the relationship you say you want.
You’re Not Broken—You’re Brave
The fact that you’re even reading this means something. It means there’s still a spark of desire inside you… even if it’s buried under years of disappointment or disillusionment.
You are not broken.
You are not too late.
And your past does not define your future.
Let’s flip the narrative.
What if dating wasn’t something to dread—but something to embrace again?
What if healing your dating life is actually part of healing your whole life?
Imagine waking up beside someone who gets you. Someone who laughs with you, prays with you, plans the future with you.
Imagine Sunday mornings with coffee and deep conversation instead of silence.
Imagine building a love that doesn’t drain you—but strengthens you.
This isn’t a fairy tale. It’s what’s possible when you stop making dating the thing you’ll “get to eventually.”
Make Dating a Priority Again
You prioritize what you believe has value.
You wouldn’t ignore your finances and expect to retire comfortably.
You wouldn’t ignore your health and expect to stay strong.
So why would you ignore your dating life and expect love to just “show up”?
If you truly want a partner—someone to share your life with—it’s time to stop hoping and start acting.
God isn’t asking you to wait passively.
He’s asking you to step forward in faith.
Just like Ruth positioned herself in the field where Boaz would notice her… you must position yourself for connection.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Let me make it easy.
Most singles never find what they want because they don’t take the first step. They either overthink it or wait too long and then wonder why nothing ever changes.
