In modern society it is much harder to find a new mate when you are over a certain age, Often for the over sixties who have lost the art of ‘meeting and courting’, dating agencies are proving to be successful. One can feel agonisingly lonely. So joining an agency where slowly it dawned how many people were seeking companionship. Someone to go out with might be the main reason and whatever came next was a naturally process.
If you are interested in joining an internet dating agency here are a few recommendations. Specify what you are looking for and stick to it, age range, non-smoker, hobbies, own hair, own teeth, remember ambiguity leads to misunderstanding. If you are looking for a quiet life then don’t pick someone who is fitness fanatic, if you enjoy going out to restaurants state it. Do not be afraid to set your stall out. If you get an enquiry be polite if you don’t like the look or sound of them. Sorry not impressed by your comb over or your nose is too big will not do.
“Thank you for your email I will keep you in mind.” is nicer. If and when you take the step to meet, do so in public, tell someone you’re going, sadly there are unscrupulous people out there but that applies to everything in life.
Nowadays every age range can meet through agencies, a lot of my friends met their partners through a blind date, that's how I met my first husband.
