Online Dating - Over 30 Crowd

by William Rigby



Dating when you are young was pretty easy as I recall. There was not much to it. You hung out with your guy or girl. TV watching or playing video games together was something to do. On weekends there were parties to go to. Movie nights with a bunch of friends were pretty cool to. After the movie a trip to the pizza shop.

After dating a certain someone for a long period of time, you end up marrying them or living together. The years go by and before you know it, age 38 roles up on you. Then it happens. Divorce or a break up. After going through all of that painful and hateful process, you are alone. That is of course if you didn't get divorced because you already have someone. Now what. It has been over 20 years since you dated. Do you remember how to do it? It is a bit of a scary thing to have to get back into.

Where are you going to meet someone around your age to date? A bar really is not the place to do this. The people in there usually hang there every day and every night. You will get a bar hag. You know what I am talking about. The ones with bad black teeth that stink like cigarettes and drunk all the time. The other alternative is if your Friends have single Friends. But that is a bit of a long shot as you probably already know all of them. Most of them are most likely married. You can troll a borders book store and see what happens. My brother met his wife that way. All of these really are not that good for finding someone to date.

What can you do?

On line dating services could be the answer.

These services ask you a whole lot of questions. This is to try and match you with someone that has similar interests. It is also to exclude people that you would not like. Some common things that exclude some people from others are children, smoking and drinking. Some may not want a person that has kids. Some may not be able to stand the smell of smoke. Some may not be able to tolerate a person that drinks.

On line dating can match you with a person that could become your partner for the rest of your life. I know because that is exactly what it did for me.

On line dating can let you chat without every actually talking to the person face to face. You can get a feel for the person and what they are all about. You can ask them questions and judge whether or not to continue before ever meeting them. It can also let you see a picture of the other person. This way you can see if they are attractive to you. If it seems the two of you are not compatible, just end it. Move on to the next person.

For people in their 30's, 40's and up on line dating can be a blessing. There are people in the same situation as yourself. You are not alone. You do not have to be alone either. You can find someone that has interests that are close to yours. Someone around your age and someone that you find attractive. Give on line dating a try and see who it leads you to. It may be the best decision you make in your later years.
