DATING TIPS FOR SENIOR MEN
If you are a single senior male, there is a good chance you are dating online. Today, it’s the best way to meet a woman. Dating online lets you know immediately who’s single and looking. That’s half the battle of dating: finding someone who is looking for the same thing you are. You’ll want to put your best foot forward and make each meet count. Here are some tips to meet the women you want to meet and to have them want to see you again!
Your online profile should be no more than three paragraphs long and should not mention anything about previous relationships. Your profile should paint picture of you in words, not a laundry list of what you do or don’t want in a woman. Make a story of your profile. If you play golf, instead of saying “I like golf”, you might say: “Even on the coldest days, you’ll find me out on the Brookside Golf Course chasing that little white ball around...for better or for worse.”
After a “Hello” email or two, don’t be afraid to ask that someone to meet. Something like: “I’d love to meet you for coffee or a drink. What day this week are you available? Where would you like to meet.” Best not
to get into a phone conversation before the meet. It is better to meet her in person before getting into conversation.
The woman always picks the place to meet and you always pick up the check...always. No splitting. I suggest you don’t make it lunch or dinner on a first meet. A coffee meet should be about a 45 minute long. Drink meets should be about an hour and a half long. Doing this does two things: It will help you to keep expenses down if you’re meeting a lot of ladies. It cuts to the chase if there are no sparks between you.
Do not tell her your life history about your past romantic relationships on a first meet. This is not the time for that. Find out what she likes in movies, books, museums, hiking , etc. Ask her what kind of kid she was or about her sibling and parents, but do not ask her about romantic relationships.
There are a few things that turn woman off right away; a major one is nose or ear hair. There is nothing worse than having to look and talk to someone who has not taken care of his personal hygiene in this area. Clean shaven always wins.
If you don’t want to see the women you meet again, be a gentlemen and send her an email within 24 hours. Something that says: It was fun meeting you and learning about you. You are a lovely woman, but not what I’m looking for. Good luck to you.” It is better to do this than to keep them wondering if you are going to contact them again.
If you do like the woman call her within a day of meeting and make a date with her for lunch, dinner or a museum. Love is out there waiting for you. Go get it!
