Andrea McGinty, founder of It's Just Lunch, 33000dates and author of the newly released book, 2nd Acts: Winning Strategies to Dating Over 50 , offers a refreshing perspective: "Valentine's Day can be tough for the 50+ who feel invisible after a major life change. But it doesn't have to be. This stage is an opportunity to redefine love, self-discovery, build community, and embrace a second act in life."
Loneliness Among Divorced Individuals Over 50
Statistics reveal a concerning trend:
55% More Likely to Feel Lonely : Divorced individuals 50+ experience significantly higher rates of loneliness than married peers.
Living Alone : Nearly 30% of divorced or separated individuals 50+ live alone, contributing to feelings of isolation.
Health Impacts : Chronic loneliness is linked to depression and physical health issues like cardiovascular disease.
Valentine's Day amplifies these emotions. According to AARP, 82% of U.S. adults prefer to spend Valentine's Day with someone rather than alone, yet 75% of unmarried adults 50+ are not in a romantic relationship, making the holiday a particularly difficult time.
Andrea's Guide to Thriving This Valentine's Day

Indulge in Retail Therapy: Visit the cosmetics counter at Nordstrom and treat yourself to something new. Guys, maybe it's time for a new fragrance?
