Dating after 50 can feel confusing — chemistry is fun, but it won’t tell you if someone is truly compatible. In this episode of Love at Any Age, Laurie Gerber dives into her Spark Questions: the strategic, intentional questions you should ask during the first three dates to assess compatibility, emotional intelligence, and physical chemistry.

You’ll learn: 💡 Why Spark Questions are essential for dating with efficiency and confidence. 💡 How to use your 3H Chart (Head, Heart, Hoo-Ha) to create personalized questions for each date. 💡 Which questions to ask on the first, second, and third date to uncover dealbreakers and assess real-life compatibility. 💡 How to balance flirtation and fun with meaningful conversations about values, family, lifestyle, and emotional needs.

Laurie also shares do’s and don’ts for asking sensitive questions, including how to avoid interrogation-style conversations and yes/no traps. Plus, you’ll get examples of fun and lighthearted questions to sprinkle in between deeper discussions — keeping your dates engaging while still uncovering the truth about compatibility.

Whether you’re a single woman or man over 50, returning to the dating scene, or just curious about how to date smarter, this episode gives you the roadmap to: - Spot dealbreakers early - Build real connection quickly - Avoid dating fatigue - Protect your heart while exploring romantic possibilities
