Dating at 55: Awkward, Imperfect, and Kind of Amazing

Send us a text What happens when you start dating again after 27 years of marriage? Spoiler: it’s awkward, hilarious, a little cringey… and surprisingly fun. In this episode of An Imperfectly Perfect Life with Shari Leid, I pull back the curtain on what it’s really like to date in midlife — from fish photo profiles 🐟 to first-date experiments and everything in between. Along the way, I share pieces of my own dating journey and bring in wisdom (and laughs) from: ✨ Justina Chen – award-winning YA author, who knows all about the messy magic of love. ✨ Connie Curlette – psychotherapist and relationship coach, with real tools for navigating dating in midlife. Whether you’re single, married, divorced, or just here for the laughs, you’ll walk away with stories, strategies, and maybe even a little hope for your own imperfectly perfect adventures. Grab your coffee or your wine 🍷 (no judgment here) and join me — because dating after divorce? It’s not just about finding someone new. It’s about finding yourself again. 🎥 Want to watch my journey?
