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 “Be Your Own Dating Coach:” which is a guide to successful dating. True, it’s not specifically to do with online dating but it does have amyriad of [...]
Posts Tagged ‘50 dating’
It’s me. That’s how I got into online dating.
An introvert dressed in an extrovert’s body. Great at one-to-one and terrible in groups. Amusing in writing but less so in public. Feel silly pubbing and clubbing at 50 plus. Had something great and wanting it again. Joined a online dating site and chatted to dozens, dated many and ended up with one special one. [...]
Before dating again, can you find a role model?
You are not the first person to have had a relationship break down. In fact you may have a friend who is enjoying dating, online or otherwise again right now. This person may have got their confidence back by now and feeling a whole lot better about life and their own self worth. Why not [...]
Don’t-go-there online dating profiles
Here are my some of my dont-go-there online dating profiles -

Would you ever date your gynaecologist?
Amazingly an acquaintance of mine, who was on an online dating site, did exactly that. The man smiling at her from over the blue ”modesty-covering” paper bedecking her lower half was also the man known to her only as ‘P’ online! Neither person had the slightest idea who the other was.
So did she go out [...]
What a bum date!
She sounded nice on the chat and the photo showed a long haired, shapely blonde. According to her biography, she was an accountant and had wide interests including my personal favourite which is music. Expectantly, I showed up on our first date only to be confronted by a podgy brunette who looked as though she [...]
50 and having fun
I am nowhere near dead and I enjoy dancing, rock music, movies, eating out and watching live sport. Fit as a fiddle and enjoying the gym, swimming and long walks (with a pub at the end of it). Unfortunately I am also lonely and don’t like the feel of an empty bed. That why the [...]
First date? Here’s How Not to Do It.
First date? Here’s How Not to Do It.
Women don’t like freezing on the terraces of a first division football ground with only a pie for warmth and drunken yobs for company. Similarly, I discovered that a deserted steak house is not the perfect venue for a girl particularly a vegetarian! Strangely a visit to the [...]
The date my mum fixed up for me!
I was in the Navy and my mum fixed me up with a date with a shopgirl who worked for her in Leeds. The girls name was Gaynor, unfortunately re-christened as Gay Norman by my Navy friends. For my part, I was excited by the opportunity to go dancing with Gaynor. For her part, she [...]
My First Kiss And It Wasn’t Even A Date!
My first kiss was sold to me by a local lad who used to sell kisses from his sister for six old pence a time. His name was David and his sister was Sylvia. The kiss was behind an old garage on a bit of overgrown scrub near my house. David, flushed with his success [...]
