Getting back into dating

Many older people start dating again in later life. You may be lonely after bereavement or divorce and want to find a new partner or you may just want someone to go out and have a good time with. Dating can be daunting if you haven’t done it for a long while but it can also be fun and exciting.

Technology has made it possible to meet more people now but for the most part dating is much the same as it ever was. It’s more likely that you have changed and it’s worth taking time to consider what you really want now.
