SENIOR RELATIONSHIPS

Being single again after a lifetime of marriage and being over fifty can be pretty daunting. At least 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 the natural color of our hair, is slowly fading away. 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).

First dates with the over 50 crowd are always an interesting experience. You never know what to expect. You will get sophisticated to boorish, and every flavor in between. Most will not go to a second date simply because the chemistry is not right. You will often have to sit through a stressful 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. Oh, and to top it all off, proceed to tell you that they have a new prescription for Viagra.And its no picnic for the men. Men will often talk about women trying to finagle their way into their lives very quickly, and then start to manipulate them to change their life styles to suit the woman's. All of these are symptoms of a fundamental incompatibility with each other from the get-go.

Why is it that mature people have so many problems finding a compatible mate?  Life is supposed to get easier as you get older. For some reason this does not fully apply to seniors dating. What is the source of the problem? 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? Could it be we have our standards set too high? Most likely the answer is no! Older people want the same things that the younger set are looking for 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 problems 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 input from my pals, and after being a lonely heart for way too long, I decided to give it a go. I turned on my computer and goggled senior dating sites. There were so many that I was taken back.

It was pretty overwhelming initially. This was just so much tougher than picking just the right shade of lipstick at the pharmacy. I explained this 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. And all this time I thought she met this great guy at work, boy was I taken aback. So I gave them a try, it was simple I just created a profile, told them what I was looking for in a man, and they did the rest. It didn't take long before they had several men that were exactly what I have been looking for. I'm in dating heaven! For the first time in years I am actually going out with exciting men and enjoying my self, life really does get better with age.

If you are in your fifties or sixties and single and you are seeking the person you want to spend the rest of your life with with, then take the first step. Check out the link below and join one or two of the sites. You will never regret it.
