What’s your best over 40 dating date? Mine was simply this – a walk around the beautiful cogworth rocks with a beautiful girl and a bag of Maltesers. Follow this up with a stroll around Cringeworth, buying nothing but a cup of coffee and some amazing buns at Lou’s tea house. Then a bottle of white sat by the side of a bar watching the world go by before visiting a charity shop to buy three designer ties for £20 including a Versace! Next to Pongsworth to watch the Gull’s followed by a lovely dinner with Four good friends in a local Chinese restaurant. Back to mine for …… (you can guess the rest)

So whats your favourite over 40 date?

Try applying these simple online dating suggestions to be successful and you will discover a whole new world of potential men or women who will be lining up to go out with you.

Posting a photo.

A well known online dating service recently provided some statistics that proved members who posted a photo on their profile increased their chance’s of receiving responses by more than 10 times as opposed to those who didn’t post a photo. Posting a photo shows other singles that you are genuine. It also shows you are confident enough to show yourself and  indicates that you are not married.

The way to be interesting is to be interested

Save the big speach about how amazing you are until you get to know your date better. There is no quicker way to end a date fast than by bragging about yourself. Make a real effort to show interest in your date and keep the conversation light hearted and fun. Dating is all about enjoying each others company on a personal level.

Double check their profile.

Before you initiate communication with other people be certain to have read their profile in detail. Not only will this give you something to talk about, it will stop you making a silly mistake.

Dating, do you ditch the old memories?

Do the dates of the past influence the dates of the future?  Did that disastrous first date put you off the second date?  Or did your first date turn into your first love?  Either of those and subsequent memories can serve to cloud or enhance future prospects. As human beings we are programmed to assume that the future will always work out similar to the past. Some of the things in life follow basic principles, for example if you bang your head against a brick wall it is going to hurt!

It may well be that your last partner cheated on you?  It is highly likely that they will cheat again; this is a problem that they have and usually has little to do with who you are.  It doesn’t necessarily follow that your next partner will cheat on you. You are the same person, but each partner is new. They kind of come with a clean sheet, don’t they?  If they resemble your last partner and have the capacity to stray, then maybe you need to examine your own motives. Some ladies love to be in love with bad boys; some of the guys can only love a party girl. So, why not broaden you horizons a little, keep an open mind, and don’t assume that all is gloom.

Do it too quick (a bit of  ‘how’s your father’) and you are missing out on the chance to get to know the other person emotionally first. It’s amazing what a barren spell inbetween the sheets allied to a bottle of wine will do to speed up time for people. I can’t believe I am actually writing this stuff seeing as my record from first meeting to bed was 15 minutes and that included a bag of fish and chips! Still, I guess that time makes you more sensible and now I am positively over the hill, I reserve the right to preach a bit. A good rule by the way is not to go to bed with someone until you know them enough to remember their middle name.   So the people without a middle name are getting nothing following that perticular rule. still you cant please everyone!

Dealing with dating depression

Some time ago, I broke up with the person I loved. I went into a state of lethergy and doubt. The only direction I could look was backwards and life had no joy for me. Friends said that I should live in the moment and stop soul searching. Trouble was that although I knew the advice was correct I could not do what they suggested. Eventually I went to the doctors and he gave me some pills to take. I despise taking pills and have always prided myself on being strong but this time I accepted the advice on offer. Now I feel a lot better about myself and I am off the pills (six month worth) and grateful for my life and all it’s possibilities again.

Sometimes folks, you just need to do whatever it takes to kick start your life again.

Chances are you’ll find them lying by the TV.

They’re cute at first, but you soon tire of picking up their crap.

“Wanted: Any evidence proving the existence
of unicorns, spacemen, pixies , leprecheun, faithful men, or
any other mythical creatures.”

I am in the online dating business and occasionally read up on the subject to pass on new insights. I thought I might put a word in for “Everyone’s Guide to Online Dating” which is a guide to successful online dating.

The promotional blurb includes the line – online dating is a simple yet effective way to improve your social life. It can also be a lot of fun. By making a decision to try it, you may have already opened a door to a whole new world of exciting possibilities.

True my friends, true.

Lovely bloke and lovely kids living with Mum. Arguments between the two and you sat in the middle getting the grief. Life no longer a bed of roses but constant aggro not of your making. Disrupted weekends and broken holidays are now part of the mix. Been there?

My suggestion is that you check out thoroughly before committing and be ready to take the pain that may be coming your way from a jealous ex wife.

Prepared is good. Surprised is bad.
