The Senior Dating Group is one of a host of sites for people aged 50 or over to meet and date people of the same generation. The site started in the United Kingdom but has developed a U.S. branch as well. It provides you with a simple and secure way to meet other seniors. The Senior Dating Group is not unique, but it is representative of the type of mature dating sites now available.
They say that the site is “for those of us who are young enough to want to meet new people and rediscover the joy of romance yet old enough to have the wisdom to grasp the modern technology to achieve it.” The site is free to join on a limited basis but there is a fee for upgraded services.
You have to give your real name (no nicknames) and email address. Then you’ll be asked for some other personal information which is not displayed to the public. You will also be asked for your zip code so that you can calculate your distance to other members.
The next step in the Senior Dating Group registration process is to choose your characteristics such as hair and eye color from a drop down menu.
The next screen presents you with a variety of interests and hobbies such as jazz music, gardening and watching sports. You can choose as many as you want.
On this screen, the Senior Dating Group also invites you to write up a description of yourself. Take this step seriously because it gives potential dates a picture of the “real you” that is not captured in simple check off boxes. For this service, the description is limited to 100 to 150 words.
Click “add profile” and you’re ready to start dating.
The Senior Dating Group recommends adding a photo to your profile. That’s because people with photos receive 20 times as many contacts from other members. Remember, the people who you eventually go out with will find out what you look like anyway, so putting your photo up at first is a good idea.
The free service allows you to receive messages from other members and to browse profiles. But, in order to send messages, you will need to upgrade to full membership which ranges from $19.95 for a month to $99.95 for a year.
As a full member you can send and receive private messages, use all of the search functions, and keep an online diary for recording your dating experience.
While there are many different online dating sites, the Senior Dating Group provides good value and a good selection of other older adults to choose from.

Senior Dating – Personals Are The Way Forward

When you are ready to start senior dating, personals can be the best way to obtaining that first date.
Contrary to urban myth, the personal section of most quality newspapers are full of likeminded individuals all looking for a partner to share their lives. Most personals are divided into sections based on sexual orientation and then sub divided by age.
Always state the age of the person you would like to meet. You can pick a broad range but keep it realistic or else your first date could look like a babysitting outing.
Don’t discard any replies that are not your ideal mate. You should aim to meet those that match the friendship criteria i.e. you are not attracted to them but would like to spend time with them based on their qualities.
People who fail to meet their partners via personal ads or dating sites are those that close their mind to the other opportunities available. Your new best friend could be into senior golf i.e. he or she could introduce you to a whole golf club of potential partner candidates.
When writing your senior dating personals, you need to put your positive thinking cap on. You are trying to sum up in a few little lines, all those great qualities that make you such an attractive date. Spend time drafting an outline and ask your friends to do the same. Then amalgamate the two and see what the final ad is like.
Proof read your ad several times, sleep on it and then proof read it again. Appearances matter only now you will be judged on your writing and editorial skills not your looks.
Avoid common platitudes. It can sometimes appear as if every single personal ad has a great sense of humour. Be original and a little different – that way you stand out and your ad has more chance of being read.
Post your ad in the correct paper – this may appear obvious but some people end up posting an ad in a paper whose target market doesn’t include their ideal partner.
Yes, you should have a fairly good idea of who your ideal partner would be. This way, you will write the ad targeted at that particular market.
Ok success – he or she has phoned in response to your ad. So what do you do now? Well obviously phone them back. Try to stay calm and reduce the nerves.
Always use a code to prevent your real number being revealed (safety, safety) and pick a time when you are feeling relaxed and happy. Keep the call light and obviously check that now is a good time for the other person to talk. Make arrangements to meet in a public place and then end the call.
Do not put pressure on yourself to get to know him/her over the phone. Some people cannot communicate via the phone and thus may not show their best side.
Senior dating personals just may be the road to your new life partnership.
