The Power To Find Love Later in Life

Sandy Sternbach is founder and CEO of The Right Time Consultants. .

Returning to the dating world in your 40s and above can seem like too much work, but it can be one of the most rewarding chapters in your life. Women of all ages are in a unique position to achieve their romantic relationship goal, which was previously thought to be only in romance novels or fairytales. There are many silver linings for your next chapter and ways to improve your dating process.

In 2025, most men and women (regardless of their age) place love and creating a fulfilling relationship with a new partner at the top of their to-do list, often, after years of family obligations, self-sacrifice, and self-reflection.

For late bloomers, loosely referred to as highly accomplished professionals who have deferred their personal life for career, most have now decided “a life not trying for more is a life incomplete.”

For the boomers, who have been content with rich and vibrant lives, now want to complete the circle with a significant other or a best friend - “Someone with whom they cannot live without”.

You don’t have to be perfect to find love; none of us are, but on this day and every day thereafter, we can commit to opening our hearts up a little bit more. It’s not about the fancy restaurant, age, net worth, or pedigree. We don’t come with an expiration date to qualify to be adored. Whether you use online dating apps, a dating coach, or a matchmaker, it begins with you. Maintain confidence, know your non-negotiables, keep communication clear and intentional, and be open to what comes your way.

As a matchmaker, I am always elated to see my clients experience love, and each journey is unique to them. Good company and adventure are waiting for us once we decide to reach for them.
