You may be single again or you may have never found one worth keeping in the first place. Regardless, if you're over 40 and out there dating, you know it's completely different than when you were younger. Some sanity-saving tips from the Dating Goddess can help.

On a previous Girlfriend We Gotta Talk radio show, Susie and I talked with the Dating Goddess, a midlife woman who, after her husband of 20 years surprised her with a divorce announcement at age 48, turned her search for her next mate into an adventure. She chronicled her lessons, insights, stories and advice in her popular blog called Adventures in Delicious Dating After 40.

Plus, based on her "hands on research" after dating over 91 men in three and a half years, she recently released a series of 13 books that cover topics every dating woman over the age of 40 needs to know, from getting started, qualifying a man before agreeing to meet, breaking up with grace, ironing out dating wrinkles, and sex! Her 10 tips for avoiding date duds is brilliant!

Why not take a few minutes to listen while you are doing something that doesn't take your full brain power, like mindless e-mail or sorting papers? Because dating over 40 isn't for the faint of heart but it also doesn't have to drive you crazy, either.
