Mature Dating Sites

Being single again after a lifetime of marriage and being over fifty can be pretty daunting. Almost half of women over the age of sixty live alone compared to only one out of 6 men. Dating has certainly changed a lot in the past 30 years or so. It is not all that unusual to see granny's buying condoms with their support hose. Older men are also a bit confused by modern dating etiquette, and are somewhat uncertain as to whether to be chivalrous, treat their female date with the same consideration as a male friend, or go dutch treat.

Several old television relic’s have proven more than once that we all have a come back or two in us, but with every failed date that idea, like our perfect hearing, is slowly fading away. Most of us would like to believe that we can come back from the ashes of a previous relationship a few times, but after a while, with little luck, hope will no longer seem so spring eternal anymore. Approaching a relationship the second or third time around can be pretty daunting, especially if you have been out of the game for a few decades because of a successful relationship.  Finding yourself splitting in your 50's can be a very shattering experience. Becoming a widow or widower is even more so. Finding the right man or women in your golden years is no easy task, you find more Mr and Mrs Wrongs than Rights. And all of them seem to talk about are their medical problems a lot ('ha' like I don't have my own).

I have met some funny (strange) people during my dating experiences. One guy fawned over me to the point of nausea Another only talked about his kids, grand kids, and sports he was into, to the tune that we never spent any time talking about me at all. It may have been nerves, but what came through was an overly dominant 'all about me' personality that I ran from as quickly as possible.. You will often have to sit through a mind boggling evening of stories about their current job or past profession, their deceased wife,  ex girl friends, how good they are in bed, and how their hemorrhoids are inflamed and they cannot sit for another minute. Of course several of them will also bring up the topic of Cialis or Viagra, just trying to lay a foundation for later on.

And its not much easier for the men.  The most recurring male horror story is the woman who is trying to control from the first date, or someone who is in such a hurry to set their hooks in that they are trying to move in after a couple of weeks. All of these are symptoms of a fundamental incompatibility with each other from the get-go.

So why is it so tough to find a match when you are a senior?  Life is supposed to get easier as you get older. Unfortunately this does not seem to apply to mature people dating. What is the cause of this phenomenon? It is not as if we are amateurs in the dating game! It is not as if we do not know what we want. So why is it so hard to find it? Are we maybe just to set in our ways? Most likely the answer is no! Mature adults want the same things that the younger set are seeking to find in a relationship. They all want:

1) Someone To Listen
2) Someone To Care
3)Someone Interesting
4)Someone Compassionate
5)Someone Loving
6)Someone Understanding
7)Someone Compatible
8)Someone With Similar Interests
9)Someone With similar Values
10)Someone To Share Our Lives With
11)Someone Who Respects Me
12)Someone I Can Respect

Is that asking too much?

After discussing my personal life with a few of my best friends. My friends suggested that I try one of the many senior dating sites available online. I shied away from the topic and the idea of a dating site, but after some encouraging words from my pals, and after watching too many late movies by myself, I decided to give it a go. I turned on my computer and looked for senior dating sites. There were so many that I was taken aback.

It was a little confusing for me at first. This was just so much tougher than picking just the right shade of lipstick at the pharmacy. I explained my dilemma to one one my friends and she suggested a site for me. This site is a dating site rating service. They have tested thousands of dating sites, and have a list of the sites that they recommend. All of them are categorized to make it easier to select. My friend said that she had signed up to a couple of the recommended sites just to make sure that she would find someone fast.

She said that is how she met her boyfriend. Here I was thinking that she met this terrific guy at work, what a shock. So I gave the same ones a try, it was easy I just created a profile, told them what I was looking for in a man, and they did the rest. Pretty soon I find myself matched to several interesting guys, and they can all actually carry on an intelligent conversation. I'm in dating heaven! For the first time in in what seems like centuries I am actually going out with fabulous men and it's so exciting, life does get better with age.
