4. Pursue activities you enjoy where both sexes are involved. For guys repairing old cars, you likely won’t meet a potential mate. Ditto for women who are quilting. 5. Get the body moving. Walk and exercise. Be friendly to folks you see along the way. Offer to walk with them if appropriate. 6. Keep expectations in check. Meeting a potential mate won’t be easy, but don’t give up. It takes time. 7. Internet dating is one method of meeting potential mates. For people living in remote areas, online dating may be a necessity to meet new people. For people 50-plus, online dating is risky. There are scammers and evil people looking for vulnerable and lonely singles. However, it has worked for lots of couples. If a guy online sounds too good to be true, he is. Trust your instincts. Don’t be naïve. 8. Smile and be friendly, positive, and upbeat. If you are in a post-
office line, or a grocery-store line, be assertive by striking up a conversation—but don’t be overly pushy about it. 9. Check out the website Meetup (www.meetup.com). There is no cost and they have clubs and groups across the U.S. that cover all kinds of special interests. Pick some different ones and attend them. You will be enriching your life and making new friends. 10. Subscribe to my weekly On Life and Love after 50 e-newsletter at www. FindingLoveAfter60.com. There is no cost. More than 1,000 singles ages 50 to 90 from across the country share their experiences, frustrations, and successes. Above all, recharge your batteries and get out and meet new people. I’m betting our friend Ken will be up and running in no time. For dating information, previous articles, or to sign up for Tom’s complimentary, weekly e-newsletter, go to www. findingloveafter60.com.
