Years have gone by. You are now over 50. Behind you might be memories of past relationships and the effort that was put into bringing up children. Now you are on your own and pondering whether to pursue dating again.
First the good news: there are many singles in the same situation as you who would like to have the joy of meeting that special person. Life expectancy has increased to the extent that someone in their fifties is only half way through their life. Potentially they could have the pleasure of having many years ahead to share some very precious moments with someone.
The second good news is that we have already refined our values and formed our beliefs and are able to understand clearer what we want in a relationship and a potential partner. The most challenging part could be to change your mind set about dating and recognize that there are opportunities out there. So expanding your hopes to meet that special someone will give you more encouragement to begin.
One inspiring motive to try dating again is to remedy the situation of being alone. This doesn't mean loneliness as you could have close family and friends. Dating is the process to find somebody suitable for your needs, lifestyle, hobbies and sharing other interests with.
Both men and women might want to date people who are similar to themselves in age, religion, politics and views about smoking, diet, etc. However, it is unnecessary for someone to fit every criteria of your requirements; because it depends on what sort of relationship you want and how often you both want to spend time together. Also when people are in love they do adapt to each others lifestyles which makes it more comfortable for both parties. After all, it is about sharing quality moments together.
The most common issue for singles after 50 is that many are reluctant to go out with someone they're not sure about. Well the truth is that is why people date: to search for someone and find out if you like one another. You need to acknowledge that the whole point of dating is to define whom you want to be with. Moreover when you go on dates - this stimulating occasion itself: preparation for the date, anticipation and interaction with the opposite sex can enrich your experience in dating skills and personal attraction.
Another question that often arises is where to start to meet a potential date. One of the best ways to begin date searching is to expand your social circle. Attending events, and travel excursions for singles - especially singles cruises - is a great way to get introduced to new people. Remember to keep your options open!
I researched dating internet sites and concluded that there are thousands of singles over 50 who are searching for someone. What did I learn about people who are over 50 from reading their profiles and from my clients? They still have a desire to give affection to somebody and receive it in return. They are still romantic and want to share good time together in various activities, to develop companionship or create a new relationship. For example, they said:
"I would love to find a lovely lady to fill in the gap on a friendly basis and possibly a loving relationship."
"Divorced, baggage firmly locked away, full of energy and desire for meeting a nice lady."
"I would like still to explore new places, if you feel you are something similar to me."
Life is fabulous when love rules the world. Age? It all depends how you feel about it. We all have a past, but while we are alive we want something to look forward to and sometimes a romantic relationship could provide us with a zest for life and excitement.
"She has such an independent spirit. Everything about her attracted me. That she's able to fall in love at 76, even though she knows he's a grandson by age in a way, this only speaks for the fact that there's that human thing between a man and a woman that can happen at whatever age. It's simply marvelous." Joan Plowright
Don't want to do things solo, why don't you try dating again? There's a whole wide world out there for the over 50's.
Here is my beautiful quote for singles over 50:
"I missed meeting the sunrise with you, but I invite you to enjoy the sunset together."
