Dating Advice from People Over 60: What They Wish They Knew When They Were Young | Dr Gabor Maté

After six decades of living, loving, making mistakes, and learning from heartbreak... what would you tell your 20-year-old self about dating and relationships? What wisdom comes only with age, pain, and the clarity that hindsight brings?

In this deeply reflective talk inspired by Dr. Gabor Maté's wisdom on trauma and emotional healing, we explore the dating advice that people over 60 wish they had known when they were young. These aren't superficial tips about attraction or first dates. These are hard-earned truths about choosing partners, recognizing red flags, understanding your own wounds, and building relationships that actually last.

We discuss why chemistry can be misleading, how childhood wounds shape who we're attracted to, why emotional maturity matters more than passion, and why love alone is never enough. If you're young and navigating the confusing world of modern dating, or if you're older and trying again after divorce or loss, this wisdom could save you years of heartache.

This isn't about judgment or regret. It's about learning from those who've walked the path before you, who've made the mistakes so you don't have to, who've earned their wisdom through decades of real life experience.
