Baby Boomer Dating Blog

Archive for the ‘Online Dating Success Stories’ Category

I know what it is like to feel that you are passed the point of finding love. After my marriage ended I did not date for almost 10 years. That was my choice. I decided I had to take the time to know who I wasand what I wanted before I could ‘put myself out there’ again.

When I first thought of trying online dating I looked at some of the online dating sites and thought who would be interested in someone my age! When you go to some online dating sites you may see pictures of young good looking women and men and that can put you off. How can you compete right?

Well don’t pay attention to that. Online dating sites that don’t specifically direct their ‘marketing’ to Baby Boomers are going to have those photos on the site. What you need to check is what age range they cover. From my experience they cover us as well. And with most of these sites free to try you can go in and check out if there is a good balance of potential partners in the age range you are looking for.

If you are not comfortable with sites that cover a broad range of age then just try out the ones that are for Baby Boomers.

Don’t let your age stop you. If I had I wouldn’t be with my wonderful partner. I want the same for you!

If you feel you are too old to start all over in the dating game you’re not. I took that leap of faith and met my love online. Our 8th wedding anniversary is this year!

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!
