Welcome to The Later Dater Today™
Dating later in life is different. Sign up
for fresh insights on how to rethink it all.
It’s Become Easy to Meet But Harder to Connect™ - Especially in Dating.
If you’re between the ages of 45-59 (give or take a few years), are looking to date, and want to make the most of this unique window in the relationship timeline, you’re in the right place.
Dating later in life is different. Most dating content is geared for folks in their 20s and Dating “tips and tricks” don’t quite cut it, but you might just have an overlooked advantage to thrive in today’s dating climate.
Whether you’re divorced, didn’t marry so far, widowed, or somewhere in between, The Later Dater Today wants to help you date for who you are now and for what it means to date today.
Read on to learn more about what we’re building, our approach and why we think “later” might be even better.
We’re mostly a podcast, but not for long…

No need for advice but maybe some recalibrating? We couldn’t agree more. You won’t see hardline opinions on what you should or shouldn’t do, because there is no ‘one way to date’ today. However, but there are things you might want to consider, think about and even try.
-
Most dating content centers the relationship goals of what we’ve dubbed, “standard” daters: Folks mostly in their 20s/30s. It can often havre a strong “Let’s Lock Someone Down” message. Can we all agree that being single can be pretty great and so can being in a relationship? Good.
-
There used to be all these “clocks” ticking for when things are supposed to happen. But you’re (thankfully) past all that. Your goal right now is less about checking boxes, and more about checking into what a relationship means for you now, based on who are you are today.
-
You’re not in your 20s/30s, but you’re also not in your ‘Golden” years. And “midlife” does’t quite capture it either. You’re in this zone of experience and know-how but maybe a little rusty on the dating part.
-
That’s right. We’re at an inflection point in how relationships start, form and build. Your dual existence, of being comfortable with technology while being molded at a time that wasn’t so tech-soaked, gives you not only a distinct advantage– you’re positioned to make dating culture better.
-
Dating later in life isn’t just about divorce anymore. We speak to a wide variety of starting points and reasons for wanting to find romantic connection now. We continue to research and look into this fascinating and exciting point in the relationship timeline.
-
You don’t need tips and tricks - especially when it comes to dating. And you’re an adult - you’re not tryng to trick anyone. We know that the key to dating well today is understanding how dating culture has unfolded and how it’s likely affected you and everyone you will meet. We want you to use the systems and tools of modern dating without being controlled BY them.
-
No hour-long interviews, no rants about how hard dating can be, no lists of red flags. We bring you short, to-the-point topics aimed at expanding your perspective, building your connection muscles and understanding dating culture - its past, present and future. In order to date today, rather than simply jumping into the pool, it’s worth understanding what’s happened to the water.
What People Are Saying After Listening To
The Later Dater Today Podcast…
“I was listening to the most recent episode “Easy to Meet, Harder To Connect”. I had a huge breakthrough and had to stop halfway to think it out.””
Podcast Listener
““I’m a later dater so this podcast really hits home… I guess dating at any age is scary but its seems more frightening now for some reason. Maybe because I think the stakes are higher. Or that everyone is going to think the luggage that I bring because of my age is too heavy for them. Whatever it is, hearing someone talk about it out loud helps.”
“I truly believe there is nobody exploring the nuanced gorgeosity of modern love more than Lakshmi and this podcast is her most heartening project yet.”
- Delia Cai / Writer At Vanity Fair/Via Deez Links
“Super smart, insightful, and short. Instead of giving me advice, it gives me something to think about. And it has certainly given me things to talk about with my friends, both male and female. Not what I expected.”
“Lakshmi has correctly identified that the one-size-fits-all mindset of modern dating apps doesn’t work so well for those of us (I’m a 54-year-old man) whose idea of date night does not include playing Call of Duty together. Her podcasts are lively, intelligent, and bite-sized, a great combination. Strongly recommend!” -Podcast Listener
