Female Baby Boomers and Online Dating

Thinking About Checking Out Online Dating? Read On!

One of the comments I hear from female Baby Boomers is that there are no good men out there over 40 - and if there are they are looking for women half their age. Ok, FBB (Female Baby Boomers) take another look at online dating. Not only are there Boomer men looking for kindred spirits, a woman who understands the same type of experiences, the same era, but there are also younger men looking to for love with us FBB. Yes you read that right. We are in demand.

Ok, we may have a few lines, aches and pains, but we also have a lot of experience, knowledge and so much more to offer that younger males are searching for. Whether you want to be with a younger man is your call, but trust me they are out there and look for you.

Yes online dating sites use to be for the young but not any more. Online dating sites are more established, more secure and reaching out more to boomers. Take the plunge and find that special someone!

Does The Holiday Season Make You Sad?

Yes I know it can. I have been there - done that. You don't have to!

I know that the holiday season makes us think how we want to be with that someone special. If there is no one in the picture, it doesn't mean you have to be alone, this is the perfect time to try an online dating site. It doesn't mean that you have only a month, what it means is that you have a month to connect with people, people who are in the same place, and want to find someone to love too.

You don't have to rush any connection you make, just connect. You will find that it is easier because you will have special someone(s) to talk to, maybe even meet. Who knows. But if you don't try now it won't happen.

So don't wait any longer - NOW is the time to check out an online dating site and find that special someone who is waiting just for YOU. You don't have to be alone for Christmas season- the love of your life that is waiting for you... you just have to find each other!

Online Dating Security

So you have thought about online dating. Maybe you have even browsed a few online dating sites. Still a bit nervous - worried about security - here are some tips.

1. Think twice if he/she sounds to good to be true. It is easy to fall into a fantasy about someone you have not met yet. Take TIME to get to know your online dating partner.

2. Speak on the phone before you ever meet in person. Call your online dating partner and make sure your number is blocked. If it goes well you can exchange phone numbers later.

3. When you do decide to meet make sure that it is in a public place and someone knows where you are and when you expect to be back. Make sure you take a cell phone with you.

These tips are not to scare you, just to keep you safe. There are lots of wonderful people out there, you just have to make sure the one you are going to hook up with is one of those wonderful people.

Remember, I met my husband through online dating so I do know what to watch for but also that it does work!!

Hey Booners - Online Dating Has Animal Attraction!

Ok so maybe that is a bit too much of a catchy title, but in fact it is true. There is an online dating site that is geared towards people who are pet lovers and we know we love our pets!

Many Baby Boomers are becoming more open to online dating after finding this unique online dating site. Why? Meeting other pet lovers can be very different and easier to open up to.

Animal lovers have more in common than just their love of animals. Animal lovers tend to be very kind, generous and loving people, so if you are a bit shy about trying online dating at this stage in your life this is a good site to try.

Baby Boomers Serious About Online Dating/

Ok Boomers, if you are serious about using an online dating memebership site to meet people, to find friendships and/or a serious long term relationship here are some tips:

1. When you join any online dating membership site be sure to complete the membership profile as much as possible. If you are not comfortable answering any question(s) where anyone can read your response, don't leave it blank, put in it's place "ask me" or something along those line. You won't seem to be very interesting if you leave most of the profile questions blank, the answers you've given don't seem realistic, or it seems you haven't really thought much about your answers. If you need to copy the questions and think them through before answering online.

2. Include a photo of yourself but do make sure that the photo is recent. If you don't like the pics you have of yourself and you are drawn to using someone elses photo - DO NOT. This will only hurt you in the long run.

The pic should be in color and show you from the shoulders up, at the very least (lower for some sites ). Most people at on online dating sites that are getting disappointing results to personals is because they don't have a picture posted. If you don't have a good one, have a friend take one!

3. Many online dating sites now allow you to upload a short video message. How wonderful!! Get yourself a webcam and have some fun creating it. Keep your message short, to the point (but honest and fun) and be sure that your face is visible and your voice is as relaxed as possible. Do it over and over before you submit it if you have to. Remember, this is YOUR fist impression to your potential love.

4. Try different online dating sites and don't be afraid to spend $$ for a full membership. You'll get noticed more because you will have more options and more contacts. Your online dating experience will be greatly enhanced!

5. Have fun. Online dating may be a whole new experience for you but if you are ready to put yourself out there, trust me, there is someone who is going to be so thrilled you did and so happy to find you!

Helpful Tips For New Baby Boomer Online Daters

Most people when they think of online dating they put a lot of thought into their own profile and what picture they put up, maybe an audio and even a video. But how much thought goes into who you want to attract. You really need to visualize what you want.

With that in mind, be precise on who you are looking for:

- height
- color of hair
- color of eyes
- never been married
- children/no children
- a particular religious background
- education level
- high morals
- sense of humour
- love sports
- like animals
- live within a certain radius of your location

Add or subtract to the list, but I think it gives a good idea of how to start. Not knowing exactly what you want I think can be a problem sometimes when people go to an online dating site and they are not really sure what they want in a mate. So have a look at this and make one up of your own so the next time you are at an online dating membership site you will almost be able to see him/her.

Visualize who you want to meet. How they will look, think, talk, feel, everything. What you put out will be clear and you are more likely to find each other.
