Senior Singles Dating Online

Senior Singles Dating Online

In this article, Gary Geyer states that he feels that getting out on dates is a great way for older adults to feel empowered and increase their self-confidence. He sees online dating as a way to make that happen and discusses the pros and cons for the dating beginner.

A good thing about online dating is that there is a very large pool of prospective dating singles. As mentioned previously, there are over 1000 dating sites with millions of daters on file. In addition, you can easily weed out uninteresting profiles so that you can focus your time and energy on the senior singles that interest you the most. This, in turn, reduces the cost of going on dates with people whom you are poorly matched with.

Some basics can be taken care of via e-mail, such as getting to know a little about your match. Plus, for some, it is much easier to approach potential dates through emails. It allows you the time to really think about what to say and how to say it. It's truly an opportunity to either fizzle or dazzle. A standard rule of thumb is an unoriginal email generally fizzles and an insightful and light-hearted email usually gets a response.

One of the cons to online dating is that free dating sites can often attract some strange people. The author suggests paying at least a little for a more advanced dating site. Be careful to read the membership rules, however, as unexpected charges may accrue if the dating site is not clear in their advertising.

One final con to online dating is that false advertising does exist. Some daters put out dated photos of themselves up or falsify their profiles. It is not a perfect system.
