Although sexual innuendos were fun in our 20s, dating in our 50s means we have to cultivate better conversational skills.
"You just simply have to have better flirting skills over 50," says Rabin. "That includes listening, but also talking to people in line at the supermarket or while waiting for a latte."
Rabin suggests asking open-ended questions, such as Have you been to this new restaurant? I heard its wonderful, or throwing in a sincere compliment.
