Dating in the Golden Years: the role of online dating in senior people relationships
Younger people often make assumptions. One typical train of thought is that older individuals begin losing their zest for life. When this commences is a little harder to quantify. But the general perception is that hitting middle-age triggers a downward slide, with over-50s, over-60s and beyond becoming more interested in watching TV in their slippers than pursuing passionate affairs. So much for stereotypes! Here’s the truth. What might be termed the ‘senior demographic’ are amongst the most enthusiastic daters of any social group. Here’s how joining a dating site is transforming the lives of so many mature people, making giving their golden years a silver lining.

Kissing Toads
After yet, another failed relationship, my daughter advised me several months ago to try the latest, greatest online dating app to meet someone outside of my zip code. I wasn't real excited at the thought of it but I am also not excited at the thought of owning a bunch of cats. I am much more a dog kind of person.

Don’t Let Anybody Bully You Into Dating
I spent a bigger part of the past 5 years completely alone. I needed to heal from a really bad relationship followed by a hard breakup, and I wanted to take my time. I didn’t want to dive into a relationship when I wasn’t sure if my criteria could be trusted.

The Pick up
I saw her across the room, leaning against the bar, drink in hand, swirling the ice of her almost empty drink. She appealed. her shape was womanly but full, and she had no idea how sexy she was. I guess that’s why she was so appealing. she looked a little sad watching the glass, the ice within it going around and around. the long fingers if that hand holding it gently, her other tucked under that arm. all of a sudden she looked up in our eyes met. I didn’t know whether to smile or look away. But suddenly, I saw the look in her eyes and I could see she like what she gazed upon. Me. There was no one else much around, so it’s not like I needed to push through people to get to her, but I still took my time. As I tried to be casual and relaxed but I felt my knees shaking. somehow, I knew this was going to be big and momentous meeting. don’t ask me how. I just knew.
