Speed Dating


Ever heard of speed dating? Neither have I, until my friend told me she attended a session. She met two very interesting men in one night, and now has two dates back to back.

Speed dating attendees sit and chat with potential dates to see whether there is any chemistry. Potential couples talk, giggle, make mental notes on whether they’re interested in the person until a buzzer goes off indicating that it is time to chat with another person. It’s kind of like musical chairs, only better. The question I have is how can you possibly get to know someone in a few minutes, while under pressure. It may not be for singles who do not like to be the center of attention or people who are shy.

Online dating is similar to speed dating in that members browse through potential dates, only this is done online. There is also no time restrictions with online dating, users take their own time getting to know someone, no pressure to perform. Speed dating and online dating are the newest ways to meet other people, give it a try sometime. One of them may work for you, if you are single and looking.

Senior Dating Service - Where to Find Dates For the Over 60s


Are you a senior person in search of a date? Finding a date at your age need not be a challenge. It is, in fact, very simple.

Most senior people looking for a date will type something like senior dating service into their favorite search engine. They might also try keywords like senior dating or personals. These search terms will reveal an assortment of dating sites aimed at the elderly. The question is, how do you choose which dating site to use?

You have two good choices of dating site: a niche dating site aimed at the elderly and a big general dating site.

The upside of using a dating site specifically aimed at the elderly is all the members tend to be over 50. The downside tends to be the price of membership and perhaps not finding sufficient members in your own town or city. If you live in a popular city, however, and don't mind the price of membership, these can be an ideal solution.

An alternative to a niche site is the general dating site. The downside here is obviously ages range from 18 and upwards. The upside, however, is you can get a free membership, if you ever upgrade your membership it will be a lot less than niche senior sites, and you will almost certainly find a lot of seniors in your area, due to the huge size of such sites.

When looking for a senior partner, most people choose large general dating sites. With a free account you can search for people of any age, view their profiles, even contact them and receive messages in return.
