He said the first hard step was getting over the shock of the situation. After that, he says he knew he had to figure out a way forward.

He explains why he thinks dating later in life actually has a lot of advantages and how much more you bring to the table during your 50s and beyond.

Plus, he wanted to dispel the myth that everyone over 40 is married. he went to Census Bureau and discovered that more than 30.8 million adults between the ages of 40 and 64 are single. Chad says there are so many people out there like you, just waiting to meet their perfect life partner.
