Signing Up

Most sites will require you to go through a sign-up process and if you feel like it you can sign-up for a couple of them at a time. Once you go through the sign up process you have the option of uploading a picture.  You should upload a good picture of yourself that is current.  Make sure the picture features you and only you and the picture is flattering.  Here are some tips on taking a good profile picture.

Putting Your Profile Together

Now comes the hard part, and that is putting your profile together.  You should fill out your profile as completely as possible and that includes putting in your interests and what you like to do in your spare time.  Once you have your profile filled out then you are free to look at other profiles on the site. If you find a profile that you like then you can send that person a message through the site.  Dating sites are set up so that you can chat on the site and get to know each other before you move to meeting up in the real world.

To Pay or Not to Pay

Most dating sites have the option of using the site for free but if you want to unlock more features then you have option to pay.  Typically it gives you better options like enhanced messaging.  You can also see more profiles or even more of the other person’s profile.  Don’t worry if you’re not ready for that, most sites have a free option that will still allow you to meet plenty of people.

The whole world of online dating may be new to you but if embrace the possibilities you can meet lots of interesting people and have a great time.  Not every date is going to be “the one” but you can still get out and meet some new and interesting people.

More and more people are looking for love online and that isn’t just limited to millennials either.  It is easy to do and you can see dozens of potential partners with a simple click of a mouse.  As a senior chances are good that most of your friends are already married and that makes meeting someone new pretty difficult to do.  Today single seniors are meeting new people online, that can include friends, companions and potential spouses as well.

Seniors aren’t that different from any other demographic when it comes to relationships.  Some are just looking for casual companionship whereas others want something that is more meaningful.  Again others are looking just to make new friends at a time in life where they have more freedom than they did earlier.

New Experiences

For many seniors it has been awhile since they have been on a date and the whole online thing makes it a completely different experience from what they remember.  There are also some cautions you have to take that you probably didn’t have to worry about when you were dating as a teen.  Let’s look at how you can have fun and still make sure you stay safe.

Be Cautious

Dating is different now especially when you meet someone online.  You weren’t introduced through friends so you have no one to vouch for the person you are meeting.  People can pretend to be anything they want online so use caution.  The first time you meet someone in person make sure you do so in a public place and you tell someone where you are going and who you will be with.

Beware of Scammers

When you are getting to know someone online and seeing if you have anything in common exercise a great deal of caution.  Don’t give out any private information and at the same time don’t fall for some of the more common scams.  If a potential partner starts telling you a sad story and how they just need money or a short term loan just to get through the current tragedy then it is time for you to let them go no matter how compelling the story is.

Senior dating is no different than dating at any age you need to use your best judgement and keep yourself safe.  Listen to your instincts and take your time getting to know anyone that you meet online.
