Baby Boomer Dating Blog

I recently connected with a childhood friend.  Don’t you just love the internet?!

Both of us are newly married.  I am just over 6 years and she is just over 2 years.  This is not a first marriage for either of us. When I asked her how she met her husband she told me at an online dating site.  I excitedly told her that’s how I met my husband too.  How exciting to share this!

She said she is not a ‘geek’, did not use the internet much at all, but decided to sign up at an online dating site.  The short story is she saw his profile and clicked to send a message, he replied, they chatted, met, and the rest is ‘history’.

What I want you to know from this story is:

1) No matter what age, or how many years it has been since being in the dating scene, do take this first step.  Online dating is easier because you can choose who you want to connect with.

2) Your profile is very important.  Always think ‘first impressions’, so a good picture of yourself is important (and do be honest with the picture)  and be honest about yourself.  You will get connections from those who like who you are.

So much to share…stay tuned for more!

I have read a number of articles on Baby Boomers and online dating. One particular article said  that Baby Boomers are more open to online dating – why – mainly because their kids are doing it, and not only doing it but finding Love Online! This has given Boomers a trust of online dating that they may not normally have. As well, the article reported that the majority of online dating membership sites are seeing that the age range of people joining is the Baby Boomer age group and they are paying attention.  So this means that you will find more and more online dating sites catering to Baby Boomers.  But don’t wait – now is the time to try an online dating site(s) to find your love. Yes I know you can, I did!

Well after a long period of not posting at Blogger we decided to get rolling again… But with a fresh installation of Wordpress instead of using Blogger. Stay tuned… Just got this up and will be posting and adding features.  Thanks for dropping by!
