you.
At your old age, you are looking for someone mature and serious minded. Gone are the days where looks would play a great role when dating. Now that you are a lot wiser, and know what you want and who you are, you are in good position to find a compatible mate.
Be yourself
Don’t mirror to charm someone. Be yourself. Go for what you want and do what you love doing. You will be more comfortable as you than as someone else. Furthermore, you will be able to attract a person who likes you for you and not someone you are not.
Try a new activity
A new activity or activities can expand your social circle. If you are into dancing, visit the dance studio and connect with other people there. Find an activity that brings people together and creates an opportunity to know other people.
Consider online dating sites
Online dating sites can help you find your soul mate in your old age. Many websites offer senior dating services for singles over 50. Find the right site that suits your requirements.
Visit busy places
Busy places give you the potential to find a mate. The places include concerts, malls, museums, health clubs, airports, sporting events and volunteer events. You will find persons who are interested and those who are not. Chat people up and take it from there. If someone you talk to is not interested, don’t pursue them. You will find someone who is.
Keep it light
Have a good time on your first date. Don’t take it too seriously like a job interview. Enjoy your date’s company. Prepare conversation starters and continuers. Talk about things you are into and experience what each of you has to offer.
Rid of pre-date jitters
You can get over your pre-date jitters by communicating with your date before actually meeting. Use emails or talk on phone to connect and rid of the jitters. You can busy yourself before the date or call your friend for help.
Start with friendship
Don’t fall in love fast. Get to know your date first. Know if you are comfortable with him or her before taking it to the next level.
