HowAboutWe is ramping up the content on its new dating channel and launching the AARP Dating Boot Camp to encourage older singles to share dating tales and lessons in an effort to help them find someone. Online dating, at any age, can be intimidating.
Running through February 28 th , AARP Online Dating will offer dating tips and advice and encourage members to get back into the dating scene. The goal of the Dating Boot Camp is to help older singles date — offline and in person.
@Midgekin - Periodically, AARP does an article on a subject, and includes links to discussions in Online Community. I doubt they bother. The pros and cons and dating online, how to get started, find the right mate and avoid romance scams.
It is geared for singles who are looking for all types of relationships, including marriage, travel companionship and just a pen pal. The website launched in after the company researched the preferences of older folks looking for companionship online. It has been around for 10 years and claims to be the premier online community for seniors.
I have researched every site I have mentioned. And the one thing that struck me is how bad some of the photos are.
If you are going to try online dating use a good picture, something candid showing you doing something you love if possible. And not one that is 10 years old. And not a group photo! In your profile be honest, but there is no need to share the dark secrets of your soul.
There is lots of help on the dating sites about how to write a profile. Have your friends critique it for you.
Have fun and be safe. My rule after doing this research: No one comes to your home on the first few dates. You meet them somewhere and you drive yourself to the meeting place.
