For a long while after my divorce I thought about dating over 40 –can you? I finally came to the realized that I can and must start dating again, but how and where? I hated the bar scene, don’t have a social life or church and I work too much. The only obvious solution for me was to use online dating sites over 40. This way I could test the waters in the dating pool without having to jump in. I was skeptical and shy about using a dating site and to find someone. Besides, how many dating over 40 women were out there. I was surprised!
I found a dating site called PrimeSingles.net. I know there are more Dating Over 40 sites out there but I just happened upon this one. Anyway, after logging in and submitting my profile, I searched in my zip code. There were over 50 eligible dating over 40 women in or near me and I’m just in a small area of upstate NY. So being a shy guy, I read the profiles and viewed the pictures and chats for about a week before I started to participate. I found that chatting online was not only interesting but helped me get up the confidence to finally meet someone for a one-on-one chat. It progressed to nightly phone conversations and finally aTHE big date, including sweaty palms and all! Dating doesn’t get any easier just because you have a few years under your belt.
The big advantage of dating over 40 is that both of you are more willing to be open and honest about yourselves. Being open means you are more truthful about your likes and dislikes which makes it easier to find an appropriate match for you and helps you avoid unnecessary bad matches. Truthfulness makes for meaningful and lasting relationships.
To make this story sort and sweet,I was very, very fortunate that my first date just happened to be as interested in me as I was in her. Only 11 months later we married and have a very happy loving relationship. We matched almost immediately (even though I thought that she was calling me by mistake the first time)! This does not mean that it will happen to you on your first try but the odds are very good for dating over 40 that you will find ultimate happiness.
