What 50+ Need to Know about Online Dating

Posted on August 9, 2011

Ourtime logo new August 2011 OC REGISTER – Aug 8 – OurTime.com points out someone turns 50 every seven seconds today, on average. The 50+ demographic is the fastest growing in the country. It includes 78M baby boomers, and a 30% of them are single. Single and, for the most part, seeking love, romance and companionship at almost any age.
– It takes time.
– Use the phone. You definitely need to talk on the phone with potential dates before meeting them.
– Exercise patience. You'll likely run into a lot of "frogs" before your prince or princess shows up. 
– You can't believe everything you read. 
– You'll hear from a lot of people that don't fit your needs.
