How to date after 60: what I've learned after a year on the apps
F iona Lambert, 62, split from her husband after 31 years of marriage at the age of 60. She's written for these pages about how getting super-fit helped her get her confidence back as she hit her seventh decade. Despite her self-assurance, rejoining the dating pool for the first time since the 1980s has been a challenge, even for a woman with a high-powered career in the fashion industry transforming brands such as Jaeger. But now she's dating — selectively. 'I'm not marching my way through men,' Lambert says. 'I am choosy. It's important not to settle. Some weeks I'll meet three men who seem great, others none.'
Now, after a year 'on the apps', Lambert has written a guide for women in the same boat called S.A.S. Sixty and Single — Your Survival Guide to Dating. Here she shares her advice on how to excel at the relationship game in your sixties.
