Tips for Dating Over 40

Dating after a divorce, or just never found the one? This post is for you!

Don’t rush into things

Dating can be draining and stressful so make sure you are fully ready to get back into the dating scene!

Wait before introducing your partner to your kids (if you have any)

Your kids should be the most important thing in your life! You don’t want to jeopardize that long loving relationship for a fresh one. If your partner is forcing that upon you then there is your answer, they’re not ‘the one’.

Keep trying new things

Although new things can be scary, it is very important in the dating world. Going on different dates, meeting different people than your used to, it’s all new but it will be worth it!

Be patient

Be patient and see what comes to you. Be open to new people and don’t close yourself off to what you think you want. What ends up being the right person might not be what you expected at all!

Think positively

You will have many dates that don’t work out and that’s okay! It’s important to keep trying and don’t give up. The right one is out there!

Don’t dread on your baggage

So you’re in your 40s, almost half your life is over and you’re single, OH WELL!!! It is just an opportunity for a fresh start. The people you will be meeting are most likely in the same boat so don’t dread on it.

Be truthful on your online dating profile

Creating an honest dating profile is so important. Not only does it relieve other people who are interested in you, but you will actually receive matches who want you, for you!

Pick the right dating app!

Dating apps are a great way to meet people nowadays so picking the right dating app is important. Trial and error is the best way of this, observing if there are older individuals to connect with on these apps would be a good measure!
