Online Dating - A path to a new relationship for Baby Boomers
It’s well known that the holiday season can be especially lonely for singles. For those younger its often kind of, ‘oh well, that’s okay, I still have all my friends to hang with’. But for boomers and seniors it can be much more complex and often the circumstances are sadder. The holiday season can really… [Read More]
Some newly single boomers (usually men – but us Cougars are appearing) seem to want to date people who are years, or even decades younger. One reason, it seems, is that it makes them feel “young”. In the female case, the young men are about at the same sexual level as they are. But, if… [Read More]
I have had several messages that ‘basically’ say “you only meet losers online” so I wanted to talk about it. Online dating is very similar, yet so much better, than meeting someone in person in many ways. When you meet someone in person, for the first time, 9 times out of 10 you will judge them by… [Read More]
People that are in the 50 plus age range will probably not be as comfortable with the computer and online contact as the younger generation. Though I think that is becoming less of an issue.

I had a dream the other night where once I reached the outcome of the dream I thought I could do better, so I asked it I could redo it. I was told that yes I could go back. I asked if everything would still be the same except for the changes I wanted to… [Read More]
One of the comments I hear from female Boomers is that there are no good men out there 60+ – 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 a kindred spirit, a… [Read More]
In prior generations most people thought they were marrying for keeps. Now it is estimated that a good 50-60% of all marriages end in divorce. In this day and age it is nothing to get married several times with kids from more than one spouse and large extended families. As Boomers approach their 60’s and… [Read More]
I don’t know where I got this idea, but when I finally decided that I was ready for a committed relationship, after what seemed like a lifetime of grieving Mike, I figured that it would take just a few months, or perhaps a little more than a few months, but for sure, I thought, with… [Read More]
