It's not unusual to date the same kind of person again and again, but Carolyn didn't want to do that. Following a breakup, she decided to date a wide variety of types of men so that she could identify the qualities she wanted in a long-term partner. She named her adventure the "Fifty First Dates Project." Find out what happened, what she learned during her two and a half year dating odyssey, and whether it led her to her Mr. Yes.

Carolyn Lee Arnold's new book "Fifty First Dates After Fifty: A Memoir" can be purchased on Amazon or at your local bookstore. You can learn more about Carolyn on her website and connect with her on Facebook and Instagram.
