To be partial enough to senior gents, here is a post specifically written for you so read closely.
I know some of you are thinking – or maybe testing out the waters a little – of going back to the dating scene. It can be a little bit scary and doubtful since you may have been feeling out of practice and kind of rusty in this department. Never be discouraged though, below are some pointers to review before you get back into the dating scene:
* Times may have changed but there are some things that don’t really change. Like your being a gentleman to a lady or someone you have just met. Also, I understand that there are about a hundred ways to meet a potential partner nowadays, like online dating or in a social networking sites however, these methods prove to be a little bit risky for seniors so might as well explore traditional ways like meeting someone new through a mutual friend or joining groups and associations.
* It was said that the world has two females to a male ratio. That means that the odds are on your side. Add to that the fact that females outlive males so if you are one of the fortunate ones who managed to still live today, then your chances of finding a partner are greater than, say, 10 – 20 years back.
* Go out and make yourself known. Surely, you don’t expect girls to come knocking at your door. If you have decided to become a hermit inside your own house then don’t expect a partner anytime soon. It takes a little effort from you, you know, and the girls won’t even know you’re up for grabs if you hide under a rock.
* Make yourself presentable. A little of good grooming will not hurt you. I can understand that seniors need to be at their most comfortable but that doesn’t really mean you can let go of yourself now. Think Harrison Ford, that’s who you should be looking up to.
* Always be on the safe side. Just because you are now on your senior years, doesn’t mean you don’t have to wear protection anymore when having sex. Casual or not, you still need to be protected as AIDS doesn’t really know age.
* Don’t expect too much from an online dating site. Remember you are treading new waters here and at the same time trying to get back into the dating scene, don’t expect to be a master of both at the same time. Another thing, you are most likely to be having a lucky day if you find a girl that is truly looking for a partner since most of these girls online are just trying to have some fun without really exposing themselves to people.
