Over Sixty Dating - The Adventure Awaits
There is an ever-growing band of adventurous souls going in for romance and friendship second time round with over sixty dating.
Those who find that they are alone in their sixties through divorce or for any other reason are turning more and more to dating sites to find a new mate or even just new friends to go out and about with. And while there may not be the breathless excitement of the teenage love affair when snow is starting to appear on the thinning thatch of the man over sixty and hot pants have been replaced by Spanx on his female counterpart, there is still plenty of fulfilment to be had thought internet dating.
With many great sites available to join. Most will have an age range to chose from and even when you narrow down the search range to the local area you will be surprised at how many people living around you there are, like you looking for some companionship and even for love the second time around.
There are specialist sites and within those sites there are boxes to tick to decide who will be offered up to you as a possible date. The word of the day is probably to be discerning. The danger is to just look at the photo and decide on the basis of the look of a person whether or not you want to find out more. But the best advice would be to read the profile carefully and see if you have anything in common. Unless the photo makes the person look like Quasimodo's twin brother or The Wicked Witch of the North, give him or her a chance, after all not all of us take a good photo and they may be a great prospective friend even if they do nothing for you romantically.
Most of us fall a bit short of perfection once we are over 60 and there are many good hearts out there waiting to be discovered. Good advice would be to think friendship rather than hearts and flowers to begin with and work from that. After all when you were first on the dating scene all those years ago, you did not meet someone and fall in love immediately, well not often anyway - you got to know them first.
Sensible precautions are always a good idea, especially if you are dating someone from your local area. Try not to meet too close to home and until you get to know them be a bit circumspect about how much detail you reveal about yourself and what you do and where you go in the locale.
There is a lot of fun to be had in looking through dating sites and reading the comments and profiles that other people have written. Women tend to be better at selling themselves than men who often appear in their photos holding a beer glass in a string vest from that last holiday on the Costas, or even in some cases with their ex wife, before they split up! For best results get a photo taken specifically for the site. There is now doubt that it is worth having a go at over sixty dating for a lot of reasons, it can be great fun and it can be a great way to meet new friends!
