How the Heck Do I Date at This Age?

Joan Price leads this fun-filled and informative workshop for age 50+ at Gaia’s Garden, 1899 Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa, CA 95401. You’re ready to connect for dating, sex, love, companionship – but dating as a senior feels awkward and weird. What are the guidelines? How do you navigate online dating, write a cool profile, avoid the pitfalls, and evade the weirdos? When do you bring up safer sex, your personal sexual issues, or sex at all? Whether you’re widowed, divorced, or a longtime single, you’ll find this interactive workshop illuminating and fun, and you’ll get to find out how other single seniors meet and mate (or try to). All genders and orientations welcome. Thirty million Americans age 55 and older are single, so welcome to the club with no rules! Joan Price, author of Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex After Sixty and Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud about Senior Sex – and a widow trying to figure out how to date at her age – leads this workshop. Singles only, $30 prepaid, $35 at the door, Gaia’s Garden's homemade soup, salad, and bread included. Free gifts: books, Blossom Organics lubricant, and more--including a flattering photo of you for your online profile, if you wish! Get details and register by emailing Joan or phoning 707-874-2285. Bring a notebook, your online profile if you have one, and a sense of humor.
