Boomers Online Dating After Divorce
I know it can be very difficult for the person who did not end their marriage to reach out and try online dating, especially a boomer or senior. If you were married for a long time the chances are you are scared to death of dating period.
As well, because you are not as young as you use to be it’s not unusual to wonder if anyone out there would even be interested in you. You know what, there are lots of people out there just like you! Yes boomers and seniors who have gone through what you have and are hoping to find love again.
One of the benefits of online dating is that you don’t have to put yourself back in the ‘scene’, so to speak, too quickly. You can take the time to look at profiles, connect with people, even just for friendship in the beginning.
But you do need to take the first step and sign up for an online dating membership.
If you want to start off slow and just look for ‘friends’ most online dating membership sites offer a ‘friends’ section. Even if the online dating membership site you are interested in doesn’t show a ‘friends’ section you can still sign up and take it as slow as you need to. Just be open when you are talking to the connections you make.
If you have decided that you just want to have a good time, and you are not ready for a relationship, they are plenty of online dating sites that you can check out that will give you a connection without having to worry about a commitment (quite yet). Again, be honest with your connections what your intentions are.
Connecting through online dating really does give boomers a chance to slowly get to know someone, hey…a lot of someones! You don’t have to talk on the phone, meet in person, until you are ready to step out of your comfort zone.
As you spend time talking with people, getting to know them, you will find that you become more and more confident and you will start thinking about taking a chance at love again.
As someone who did this when my marriage was over I can honestly tell you it was the best decision I ever made. I met many men through online dating. Some I just connected with there, some I talked to on the phone, and some I even met in person. I am now happily married to the last man I met online.
So give it a try. There are boomers waiting for you at an online dating site!
