Many individuals over the age of 50 are now finding themselves single as the result of a divorce or death of a spouse. For individuals 50 and older, isolation is a troubling issue. Life changes and we become ‘empty nesters’ or find ourselves alone from results of life changes. Studies have shown that as people get older close friendships decline and it seems harder to build new relationships. We know that social connection is an important part of a healthy and happy life. Men and women over 50 are interested in finding a companion or love but many are not sure how to meet new singles.
With the growing trend of online dating, mature adults have
found a great way to connect. Mature dating sites have become popular with
curious baby boomers back in the dating scene.
These sights are designed for those looking for love and/or
companionship. For example, OurTime.com is a sight designed specifically for
adults 50 and over. There are other sites such as SeniorPeopleMeet.com that are
age specific and now AARP has an online dating site for 50+. Online dating is a
great way to connect and meet new local singles to find companionship or
soul mate.
Here are a few tips for online dating after 50:
1. 1. It’s okay to be choosy!
Be specific about deciding what you want
and don’t settle for anything than less than you deserve. At any age we all
need to recognize our value and what we are bringing to the table.
2. 2. Be agreeable.
Focus on the things that are truly
important values and limit political views or confrontational topics.
3. 3. Photo is first.
Post a nice photo with a smile. A smile
goes a long way and is an attractive quality.
4. 4. It’s in the initiation.
Ladies, allow the men to initiate. Men will
pursue when they are interested and they enjoy the challenge. Men, don’t be
shy! Women love the attention and want to see your winks, pokes, and notes.

ReplyDeleteMy mum has recently signed up for an online dating website and is really struggling with committing to meeting up with somebody. Despite being 52, having worked in sales all her life and looking drop dead gorgeous for her age; the confidence she has in every day life just flutters into inexistence when there's romance on the cards. I managed to get her to meet up with a guy from Spitalfields last week after lightening her up and relaxing her by showing her the lovestruck infographic; made her realise that in all reality she's probably one of the best online daters around. Check it out if you're struggling and you'll soon realise that there are people much, much worse than you!
