How to find love later in life

Meeting that someone special could be easier than you think...

We all deserve to love someone and feel loved, no matter our age. Getting back into the dating game to meet new people is often the first step towards a flourishing romance, but we understand it can also be daunting. So, how do you go about meeting someone new beyond your circle of friends and acquaintances, especially after loss or divorce?

First, are you ready?

If you’ve only recently come out of a relationship, you may want to take some time just for you. But when the time comes don’t pressure yourself.

Boost your confidence

If your confidence is low, spend a day doing the things you love – try on some new clothes you could wear for a date, get your hair done or just relax. Accepting yourself can be the first step to accepting someone new into your life.

Go online

Online dating can be the perfect way to boost your confidence and to meet new people as you write and receive messages. With Yours Dating, you create a profile that showcases who you are as a person, your personal likes and what sort of traits you would like in a potential partner. When creating your dating profile, include things you enjoy, things you’d like to try and what sort of relationship you would like.

Arrange to meet up

When arranging to meet someone, don’t set your expectations too high – remember, they will be as apprehensive as you and may not give of their best on a first meeting! Why not get together for a casual coffee during the day or perhaps a walk if the weather is good? It’s the perfect way of finding out if you’d like to see them again. Then if all goes well, you can arrange to meet up again!
