5 Must know tips for Boomer women online dating

Dating sites report that its fastest-growing segment are people over 50 years. My clients, ranging from 35-65, women are having great success with it. Face it: dating online is the new active zone for people who do not dream to know someone in a bar.

You know that I am a strong advocate of online dating. I met my husband on Match.com when he was 47. He was 57. That man is the best part of my life. I love the idea of finding companionship and love using online dating.

Boomer women team want that everything online. But before put you out there, here is advice and suggestions of a gal that was in line for years itself; and now helps other women going out, have some fun and found love.

1 Be the boss

No, I don't mean being bossy. I mean to be in control of their experience. You dating online opened thousands more possibilities, and it is a completely new way to meet people. Some decisions and set guidelines on how to integrate it into his personal life. How many hours he devoted every day? (Warning: this can get addictive!) What you can do to ensure their physical and emotional, as well as you speak and get to know people? What can you learn or change a hit dater? Intuition and special situations are created forks in the road. And over time, you can probably adjust some of these decisions. However, bearing in mind some things from the beginning, it offers a tentative work plan and, above all, a greater awareness. You want to have fun, be open to new things and enjoy the experience; only do so consciously and as the older woman who you are.

2 Highlights

Plain and simple: have girlfriend of competition. As you age, the proportion of women and men more grows apart. Some statistics say it's both as 11 women to every man after 55. Wow! So when you get online, want to get up and stand out. Make sure that the pictures are great. Get professionally done. (We are going...$ 150 is too much to spend to attract a fabulous man?) Your profile must be unique and speak to the men. (Suggestion: If your girlfriend better love; probably sucks.) All communications must shout special how are you, show your personality and say they want to. ("Hello" in the subject line means that you waiting in line or is removed).

3 Be honest

You are online, but its goal is to really satisfy men, Yes? One of the main complaints of the men is that we publish photos that are... say... out of date. Not doing so. Publish lovely photographs, but current. It is false and a waste of time to do the opposite. Also, be clear about what you are looking for. It seems that in the 50, 60, and beyond there are partner of a wide spectrum of what kind of men and women are looking for. If you want to be a partner for dinner or a husband; put it there. Don't shout it, but what they weave in your profile. If you are a life partner, not to attract the man who walks around "only sporting." (Trust me, with Viagra and a team... a man can have lots of fun!)

4 Consider a change of image

When is the last time that updates your eyes? Have they changed the way of applying make-up or take the hair? You've bought new style clothes? This is looking so good for a man, as it feels good for you. A woman trusts that is responsible for itself and is healthy is a man magnet. Go to a store and a make-up session free. (All the lines of do, did you know?) Splurge for a fantasy hair style. See catalogues such as Coldwater Creek, J. Jill and children. You don't have to necessarily buy - but what's new (and it isn't).

5 Check your baggage

Yes, I mean not drag her nasty divorce, problems of money and last case of gout in the conversation. (At least not anywhere near the beginning of knowing someone). But, as important, do not drag all those beliefs and decisions that 20 years ago. The woman is today is far from the girl that date way back when. They say to check all their lists. Make sure that defines "the perfect man" and what should do or not do to get to the next date? Verify that you have all of their "truths" about you, appointments and on men. It is important to take time to ground yourself in who we are and what you want in your life today. Do this by himself, with a friend or a coach. But to do so.

Gotta go. Be good for you.
