Online Dating And Over 50? Here’s How To Get The Best Out Of It

Online Dating And Over 50? Here’s How To Get The Best Out Of It

It might seem strange that over-50s indulge in online dating.

But why? Of all the adult activities for singles, dating is most fun.

You meet new people, go to different places and add variety and spice to life.

Whether it leads to long-term relationships or not hardly matters.

Online Dating Keeps You Socially Active

With every activity in the world going online, why should dating be different?

The over-50s can be as net savvy as the young.

It’s only a question of mindset.

Thought You’d Finished Dating? Think Again!

You may have dated in your 20s and/or 30s and settled down.

Yet in your 50s, you may be alone.

You may have divorced.

Maybe widowed.

Or you mightn’t have found someone with whom to share your life.

You might have thought that ‘all the good ones are taken’.

But, there’s a whole generation of new singles out there, which is looking for what you want.

Fun, Friendship And Variety In Life

Olive, aged 72, thought she’d never meet another man after her husband died.

When a friend suggested online dating, she ‘did it for a laugh’. She met Eddie, aged 73 and they’ve been seeing each other ever since.

Living in the same town, they share common values.

Both enjoy going on outings and sight-seeing trips.

‘I couldn’t believe we had so much in common,’ she says.

‘Life is definitely more fun, nowadays’.

Not everyone is as lucky with online dating as Olive and Eddie, but it’s worked for them.

Neither want to remarry, although both are widowed.

Both are financially independent, own their homes and have several children and grandchildren.

‘I’d forgotten how I’d missed having a companion,’ says Olive.

Don’t Take Online Dating Too Seriously

Many people over 50 dating men or women want to bring some romance to their lives.

Neither Olive nor Eddie took it too seriously.

But they’re delighted with the results. Luckily, they both had similar expectations.

They are each other’s long-term social companion.

Some people in this age group take online dating too seriously.

They end up getting hurt and ultimately, depressed.

Here are some guidelines to help you enjoy online dating for the social outlet it is:

Try Online Dating To Bring Variety To Your Social Life

Don’t imagine you’ll meet your life companion on older-dating.com, or another dating site the first time.

You could meet several people before that happens.

You could meet someone at an everyday social gathering.

Use Recommended Sites And Preferably, One Which Charges A Subscription Fee

This helps weed out cheapskates and chancers.

Always meet in a public place.

Tell a friend or relative when you’re going on a date, especially with a new person.

So, What Are You Waiting For?

In youth, we seek someone to marry and perhaps raise kids with.

Later in life, the needs are different.

Fun and companionship should be your priority now.

So do remember that.
