TODAY WE ARE TAKING THEFIRST PLUNGE INTO THE WORLD OF SENIOR DATING IN THE DIGITAL AGE!!

Let’s face it folks, the dating game has changed more than Madonna’s wardrobe over the years. But fear not, because we have got the ultimate cheat codes to help you navigate the online dating scene, like a pro. So, let’s dive right in with 5 critical points on the compass.

#1. PROFILE PIC PERFECTION:

Your profile picture is your digital first impression, so make it count! Skip the blurry vacation snaps and go for a clear, smiling photo that showcases your sparkling personality. Bonus points if you can rock a classic selfie without accidentally hitting the “video call” button!

#2.CRAFTING A ‘KNOCK-OUT” BIO:

Think of your bio as your dating resume, but with fewer references to “team-building exercises and more mentions of your love for the outdoors, the theatre and intimate dinners. Be authentic, be witty and don’t be afraid to sprinkle a little charm!

#3.SWIPE RIGHT ON SAFETY:

Just like you would not give your social security number to a stranger on the street (we hope), it is essential to personalise safety in the online dating planet. Keep personal information like your address and financial information “under lock and key” until you have built trust with your match.

#4.AGE AIN’T NOTHING BUT A NUMBER:

Embrace your age with pride! You have earned every laugh line and grey hair, so do not be shy about flaunting your wisdom and expertise. Besides, who wants to date someone who thinks that TikTok is a type of clock, anyway

#5. KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON:

Rejection is a natural part of the dating process, whether you are swiping left or “striking out “at your favourite game or activity. Remember for every ill-fitting outfit there is a perfect one waiting to be found. So, dust yourself off, pour a cup of coffee or tea or perhaps a delicious glass of wine and get back out there!!
