Top 10 Best Sites
Looking for a dating site you can trust? Search no more.
Whether you’re 50 or 80, getting back into the dating world can be intimidating. Now imagine trying to traverse the murky waters of the online dating world when you barely know how to use a computer.
That’s why we’ve compiled a list of tips and tricks to help senior women make the most out of dating online.
1. Ask for help.
Most likely your daughter and/or granddaughter are way savvier on a PC than you will ever be. Ask for some help in creating your profile and learning about the different sites. It will make the process seem a lot less nerve-racking and also be a bonding experience for your offspring.
2. Be honest.
Just because the other person can’t see you through the computer screen doesn’t give you license to fudge the facts. Be 100 percent honest about your age and post a recent photograph — not one of you as a model from 1956.
“When it comes to online dating, don’t jump at the
first guy (or site membership) to come your way.”
3. Research.
There are dozens of sites geared toward seniors. Don’t just sign up for the first one you come across. Do some research and talk to friends who are also dating online. Ask them what sites they prefer. Take advantage of free limited memberships or weekend deals.
4. Times have changed.
While the chivalry of the old-school men you dated in your youth has most likely remained intact, the world is no longer sock hops, free love and discos. When you’re ready to meet a man in person, choose a place that feels comfortable for you, even if that means your community center or local coffee shop.
5. Start off slow.
Just because it’s been 30 years since you’ve been on a date, it doesn’t mean you have to make up for lost time. Take it slow. There’s no need to rush anything. You have the rest of your life to fall in love.
Welcome back to the dating world, you modern woman! Remember, when it comes to online dating, be yourself, be honest, start off slow, and don’t jump at the first guy (or site membership) to come your way.
