Thinking about dating?

If you’re retired and single, why not jump back into the dating scene?

According to a recent AARP survey, “70 percent of single baby boomers are actively dating.”

Hesitant? Consider these points, true for many boomers:

  • The kids have moved out
  • The bills are paid off
  • There are no worries about pregnancy
  • Your confidence has grown as you’ve matured
  • You’re ready and willing to focus on a relationship (without fretting over where that relationship is headed)

So let’s say you’ve decided to give it a go. Where do you start?

You could meet others the old-fashioned ways — via clubs, parties, church, or friends.

But don’t be afraid to try newer dating methods. According to an article in The Arizona Republic, older Americans “have taken a cue from young urban singles and are flocking to speed-dating events and online personals sites.”

Here are a few senior-oriented personals sites to start you off…

Senior Friend Finder
50 Years Plus
Seniors Circle
Prime Singles
Sassy Seniors
Senior Datefinder
Senior Date Connection
