Sorties of Dating over 50(2)

We have discussed the challenge of over 50 dating in last article, now let's see what people tried to do to overcome these dating challenges.

What have you done to try to overcome the dating challenges?

Susan W.: I have tried Internet dating but find that e-mailing someone and trying to impress them through an e-mail is like another job. I have joined a country club and participate in various outings with my coworkers.

Undra: I have an older brother who did a lot of screening [of my dates].

Judy: I tried to look decent at all times. I was bubbly.

Wanda: I asked a couple of girlfriends if they have any uncles or brothers or something [they could introduce me to]. I was thinking of calling a telephone dating service but I decided not to go through with it.

Susan B.: My philosophy has shifted and my focus is me.

Mildred: I wasn't looking for a man and because I wasn't looking I got involved with Bob.

Cheyenne: I just go along with my life. I have extended family and support friends. Some of them are men.

Cynthia: I am active in church and go places where people gather. I attend most of the jazz concerts that come to the area.

Jana: I gave up on dating. I started a group of men and women. It's not dating. It's learning how to interact.

Yes, we can see  almost everyone tried hard to overcome challenges.  But the problem still exist. Not much people to meet.  If they surf the internet, more and more senior singles start to find the partner on senior dating sites.  People on these sites are with the same purpose and if you are on the dating sites specially for single seniors over 50, you are more likely to find your match within your age range and they would be more serious rather than on these sites just for friends.
