As we get older in life, so do our dating preferences. As a teenager, it’s a case of meeting up with some girls or boys on the street and hooking up for a kiss by the lamppost over a carryout of cheap cider, perhaps trhis will lead to a dinner date, a night out at the cinema and indeed some nookie. This progression changes throughout our lives as we have different needs and wants. In our early 20s, it’s more about stability, moving in together, going on holiday together, calming down and becoming more mature. Marriage and having babies take over our ideas and thoughts and we feel safe and steady. However, the modern world gives us too many choices and sadly divorce is becoming more and more common these days. This often leads to despair, depression and loneliness. One of the hardest things can be to find a partner once we have ended a long term relationship. As middle aged to old adults, it can get harder to find that one you really love and want to spend the rest of your days together. So here are some ideas that older folk are now turning to, with success.
1.Online Dating Sites
Start online – many sites are free and involve simply setting up a profile, adding soem basic information about yourself and searching for a potential date. Have a look around at sites first, before deciding on the dating site you want to use. There is a huge range of sites these days and you are spoilt for choice. So good luck choosing.
You don’t know who you might meet online
2.Simple What’s App flirting
Never has flirting been so easy as you don’t actually have to meet up face to face so early. Once you have exchanged numbers (or Facebook profiles, Instagram etc.), the fun can start long before you even date. The beauty of What’s App is also that you can block the person straight away if you really don’t feel the connection. Plus, it’s an easy, quick and safe way to flirt. You can even send picture message here and yes even the older folk amongst us are prone to a nude or cheeky pic!
3.Social Media Likes and Shares
For the tech and internet savvy older ones, there is also the beauty of being a mature blogger, Facebooker or Instagrammer. If Donald Trump can use Twitter, so can you. Check out your potential date’s Social Media pages. Like, share and comment to show your affection but don’t go overboard by clicking like on every single photo, it can get annoying, unless you are doing it for business. It’s also an extra way to learn more about the date before meeting. It’s hard to hide on social media if you use real photos.
4.Romantic Dinner Dates
Once the ice has been broken, it’s time to finally meet. You might feel nervous as it has been years since you did this – so be romantic. Girls – wear your best lipstick and perfume. Guys – turn up with floers or chocolate. Make them feel special. Remember that sites like older-dating.com are all about having fun and spreading positivity. So don’t be shy – meet up and prepare to fall in love, all over again, a few years older than your first time love…
