3 Strategies For Dating In Your 50’s

Last updated on December 3rd, 2012 at 05:13 pm

Finding the right relationship is something you can’t afford to leave to luck if your dream is to fall in love this year. You need to market yourself as a product. You need to have a dating marketing plan.  You need a strategy.

The 1st Strategy in this plan is to expand your social world.

Where in our existing life can we increase our chances of meeting men?

For example, I am a member of Club One and 24 Hour Fitness. I could step out of my comfort zone and ask that cute man next to me exactly what muscles he is working on a particular exercise. Or perhaps doing a spin class and chatting before and/or after class will give the opportunity to meet some eligible men.

You can also get to know your hometown businesses.

For example, I enjoy visiting many different places in my historical hometown of Petaluma, CA. Creating a list of local places to go and engage in conversation with the owners and patrons gives me the opportunity to meet locals, and who knows, maybe Mr. Wonderful lives right here in my town.

The 2nd Strategy in this plan is to put ourselves into situations we enjoy.

When we are participating in something we love doing, we open ourselves up to the opportunity to share an activity with men who share our interests. Plus there’s the added benefit of a life filled with activities we enjoy. It’s important to list as many ideas for activities as possible, not necessarily singles-oriented activities, but things that we might find enjoyable, in and of themselves.

We don’t have to do all of these things – we just need a lot to choose from.

For me hiking (hikersdating.com), biking (Santa Rosa Cycling Club), kayaking (Bay Area Foodie Kayakers), are some of my favorite things to do. Super lite backpacking is something I would absolutely love to learn.

Scotland sound good to you? How about Costa Rica, Alaska or Australia? Single travel events or clubs? Obviously the men on these trips love to travel, so having this in common is a good start for a healthy relationship. There’s Singlestravelcompany.com and Allsinglestravel.com.

The 3rd Strategy – Networking Friendships

Not everyone we meet in our lives will be single. The odds are, there will be some couples, and some attached men and women. I think it is important to strike up a rapport with new people and make new friends. By widening your social circle, and letting people know what kind of person you are looking for, we open ourselves up to being introduced to someone.

Do any of you out there happen to know anyone who’s in their fifty’s or sixty’s and that is available for a cute blond who writes for 8 Women Dream?

See how easy that was?

If you are out there doing this too, let me know what is and isn’t working and we can help you too!

Don’t forget to leave a comment.
