Dating for over 50s

…that makes two of us then Robert :lol:

I daren’t look into a dating site, my wife would kill me !!!

Three of us…:lol:

Danny, I didn’t read your profile before I posted and muddled you up with another person - I assumed you were female :lol: My apologies, sir. Hope I haven’t put you off this lovely forum.

As I have been with one person for about 45 years, I haven’t any experience with dating sites, but having thought about it a bit I wonder if it is better to join a group where everyone meets up face to face regularly. I know there is a group called Gingerbread for single parent families and I am sure there must be something for older people who are on their own.
My husband’s neice (who is obviously younger) had been divorced and brought up 4 children. Now her children are either left home or at University she went onto a dating site and found a partner. They both were married this Summer, so there are some success stories. Maybe you need to persevere Danny and as the saying goes - you have to kiss a few frogs before you find Mr or Mrs Right. Best wishes and Good Luck.

There is always the possibility that you will find someone you like on this type of forum

You would need a lot more member participation to establish if such a relationship was possible.

In my view the chances are very small and I would guess if you are actually looking for someone you would be better off sticking to the dedicated sites.(good or bad)

Some forums do advertise dating sites but they are usually a link address and the forum receives a small percentage in revenue.

At any rate I hope you will have better luck in the new year.

"Love is in the air…:lol:, me and my missus walked hand in hand down from the local after lunch, I had to hold her hands, if I let go she’d choke me.:lol:

Welcome to our forum and hope you like all the chat we can do.

I personally come on here because it is not a chat up place.
I would not be interested in anyone chatting me up.
I have never used a dating site so dont know what they are
like. Some of us like our own company and I am one of them.
Hope you like what I and others say on here as we have a go
at everything and anything with interesting results. :shock:

I’ve met loads of women via ‘plenty of fish’ and found plenty are offish - however there are genuine people there.

Thanks for all your feedback!

No moreother replys needed to my introduction thank you.

Aww Bobbyboy I would I’m sure. :lol::lol:

I know the dating sites can be bad, but I have been seeing someone for 4 years now who I met on POF. There are good ones, but I met my share of nitwits as well.

My late partner and I met on a dating site and had 4 happy years together before he died. It does work sometimes but you do need to be careful.

Hi and welcome :slight_smile:
