Dating in retirement

Relationships have changed over the years. When we were younger, we almost had a blueprint for how our lives were meant to be.

Go to school, go to college or university, get a job, meet someone of your dreams, get married, have children, and live happily ever after.

No one ever told us or warned us if life did not go as planned.

Now there are so many choices that it can bring greater confusion.

If you are retired and single, and that was in your life blueprint, it can almost make you second guess yourself and who you are.

Well, I am here to tell you whatever rules we were given when younger can be ripped up and there is nothing wrong with you!

We came to the planet on our own and we will leave the planet on our own. So many people live their lives through other people that they can lose who they truly are.

When you are single, you can build the best relationship you will ever have and that is with yourself.

Dating in retirement can be a fulfilling and an enjoyable experience without the pressure of when younger deciding if you want to create children together. Here are some tips for dating in retirement.

• Take care of your mental, emotional, and physical health. This will increase your confidence when dating.

• Know what you want. Are you looking for a long-term commitment, companionship or someone to share activities with?

• Explore dating opportunities. There are plenty of apps and groups that bring people together. Meetup. com, Eventbrite.

• Be open-minded: Remember that dating at any age can come with its share of challenges and surprises. Keep an open mind, be patient, and don’t be discouraged if you don’t find the right person immediately. Building a connection takes time and effort.

• Stay safe and take things slow. Take precautions when meeting someone new, such as meeting in a public place and letting a friend or family member know about your plans. Trust your instincts and be cautious when sharing personal information.

Remember, dating at any age should be a positive and enjoyable experience. Embrace the opportunities that come your way, and don’t hesitate to seek support from friends or family if needed.
