Dating after 60: Some Tips and Strategies to Find Love Again

Finding love can be challenging at any age (don't I know it!), but dating after 60 comes with its own set of unique challenges. Whether you're divorced, widowed or single, dating can be a daunting experience after decades of being out of the game. However, it's NEVER too late to find love again. Here are some tips and strategies to help navigate the world of dating after 60.

1. Take your time - dating after 60 can be exciting and exhilarating, but it's important to take your time and not rush into anything. Take time to really get to know the person you're dating before jumping into a serious relationship. This may help you ensure that you're compatible and my help you spot or avoid red-flag situations altogether.

2. Embrace technology - I admit...this is a hard one for me. I love technology, but I hate dating apps - but times have changed in recent years - especially since the pandemic. Online dating has become increasingly popular, and it can be a great way to meet new people. There are several dating sites specifically designed for people over 60 - OurTime, SilverSingles, DateMyAge, SeniorMatch, just toname a few. You can also try dating apps like Tinder and Bumble, which allow you to swipe through potential matches and start a conversation.

3. Be open-minded - Dating after 60 may be different than what you're used to, but it's important to keep an open mind. Don't limit yourself to a certain type of person or a specific age range. Be open to meeting new people, trying new things, and exploring new interests.

4. Be confident - Confidence is key when it comes to dating after 60. You may feel self-conscious or unsure of yourself, but remember that you have a lifetime of experience and wisdom to offer! Embrace your age and all that comes with it. Be PROUD of who you are and what you have accomplished. (I wrote a post about confidence yesterday...check it out!)

5. Don't settle - It's important to be patient and not settle for someone just because you're lonely or want companionship. You deserve to be with someone who makes you happy (Go Happy Yourself!!) and who you're compatible with. Don't be afraid to walk away from a relationship that isn't working out.

6. Have fun! - Dating after 60 should be fun. It's a chance to explore new things, meet new people and enjoy life. Don't take it too seriously and enjoy the process. Remember - dating is a journey - not a destination.

To sum it all up - dating after 60 can be a rewarding experience if you approach it with an open mind and a positive attitude. Take your time, embrace technology, be open-minded, be confident, don't settle, and HAVE FUN! Who knows??? You just might find love again!
