Meeting single women when you are in your 50s can be difficult as the field of available women narrows as they age. Getting involved in the community through volunteerism or community center activities puts you in position to meet women of all ages and get to know them as potential dates. Be sure you are at your very datable best by updating your look and staying fit and healthy to appeal to the most available women.
Instructions
1. Join an online dating site. According to an article in the December 2003 "AARP" magazine article entitled "Seeking Love" by Sara Mahoney, "Match.com, the largest [dating] service, boasts 1.5 million members over 50, about 10 percent of membership," so it's definitely worth checking out.
Online dating allows you to meet women at any age and allows them to find you as well. Take some great photos of yourself and be honest in your profile for the best results. Post profiles on many sites to maximize your opportunities. If you're looking for women in their 50s, join a site that is specifically for that age group.
2. Join a gym. Fifty is the new 30, so keep in shape and meet women who value fitness as well. Gym membership can keep you feeling great and give you the outlet to get to know women in your area without feeling like you are in a singles bar. Take some classes at the gym so you have a chance to chat with women before and after classes.
3. Volunteer. You'll impress fellow volunteers with your giving attitude and have plenty to talk about while nailing drywall, passing out food baskets or cleaning up the park. This is a great, casual way to meet people and develop a repertoire before an official date.
4. Get involved with a recreational club. There are plenty of 50-plus-specific activity groups for activities like hiking or biking, but you can join any type group to meet single women of any age and have fun doing it. Joining in a recreational club means meeting women who share your interests and allows you to build relationships before dating.
5. Join a 50-plus senior center. Senior centers are targeting younger groups and are offering a variety of classes and activities where you can meet women your age to date. You can join groups to meet women who share your interests, or volunteer to teach a class to meet even more potential dates.
