Are you choosing the right partner, or are your emotions making the decision for you?

In Season 5, Episode 19 of Digital Dating Over 50, host Andrew welcomes ICF-certified relationship coach, author, and creator of Is He Worthy?, Dave McLachlan, for a revealing conversation about dating, attraction, compatibility, and why we sometimes ignore the warning signs right in front of us.

Drawing from his own experiences with divorce and relationships, Dave introduces The WORTHY Method, a practical framework designed to help singles evaluate potential partners more objectively before becoming emotionally invested.

Andrew and Dave explore how physical attraction can cloud judgment, why people repeatedly choose incompatible partners, and how identifying your non-negotiables can lead to healthier relationships.

They also discuss the importance of self-awareness, emotional readiness, and recognizing when passion and chemistry are masking fundamental incompatibilities.

Can you really measure relationship compatibility? And could a more logical approach to dating help you avoid another heartbreak?

Whether you're newly single, divorced, navigating dating apps, or searching for meaningful companionship after 50, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on finding someone who truly fits your life.

Can friendship turn into lasting love, even after years of heartbreak and failed relationships?

On this episode of Digital Dating Over 50, Andrew welcomes married couple Natalie Bartanian, an intimacy and relationship coach, and Glen Nielsen, a somatic trauma therapist. Glen was twice divorced and navigating life as a single man when he met Natalie. Their friendship eventually blossomed into romance, and exactly ten years after meeting, they married.

Natalie and Glen share their unconventional journey, including their 17-year age difference, exploring different relationship styles, and learning how honesty, communication, and self-awareness helped them build a lasting partnership.

The conversation explores dating app burnout, repeating unhealthy relationship patterns, sexual intimacy, monogamy versus non-monogamy, infidelity, and the challenges couples face as they grow older. They also discuss why accepting your partner for who they are matters more than trying to change them.

For anyone dating after 50, recovering from divorce, or wondering whether meaningful love is still possible, Natalie and Glen offer a refreshing perspective on relationships, personal growth, and finding connection later in life.

Are you dating over 50 and finding yourself attracted to the same types of people, experiencing the same arguments, or wondering why your relationships never seem to work out?

In Season 5, Episode 17 of Digital Dating Over 50, host Andrew Polizzo welcomes relationship coach and mentor Valerie Greene for an honest, thought-provoking conversation about emotional availability, relationship patterns, communication, and finding lasting love later in life.

With more than two decades of coaching experience, Valerie shares how our childhood experiences, attachment styles, and unresolved emotional wounds can influence the partners we choose and the relationships we create.

Andrew brings his own dating and marriage experiences into the discussion, challenging Valerie with real-life scenarios about arguments, emotional distance, and the difficulty of recognizing when someone simply isn't ready for a relationship.

Together, they explore:

• Why we sometimes repeat unhealthy dating patterns even after 50.
• How to recognize emotional availability before investing months or years in someone.
• Why healthy couples still argue and how they can repair disagreements.
• The difference between physical chemistry and genuine long-term compatibility.
• How to identify your emotional needs, core values, and relationship expectations.
• Why discussing sexual compatibility and exclusivity matters.
• How to determine whether someone has truly healed from a previous marriage or relationship.

Andrew and Valerie also tackle a question many older singles face: Do we really know what we want in a partner, or are we simply carrying our old relationship patterns into a new chapter of life?
