The family is raised - well yes I know they are probably still your babies and may even be living at home (when will they move out?) But in fairness once they hit 30 your job is done. The career ladder has been climbed, the retirement check has been cashed, but you are not yet ready for a life of rocking chairs and bingo.

Dating at any age can be nerve racking. Now we are older, we have, hopefully!, accepted that we aren't Grace Kelly or Rock Hudson. We are in general happy with our appearance although we would make an effort when going on a date. We have achieved most of what we want out of life so are not looking to another person to provide us with a family or stability. Just someone to share precious moments.

so how do you prepare for your first senior date? Well to all intents and purposes it is almost like an hearing. You need to be aware of your own strengths and weaknesses. Some dating companies will ask you to complete a questionnaire detailing these.

It can be difficult to write a paragraph describing yourself in the best possible light but your best friends could help a lot. Just ask them to give you a list of your best qualities and to put your less attractive personality traits in the most positive language possible. For example, if you have a tendency to talk incessantly - a common complaint among us women, your best friend is not likely to describe you as having verbal diarrhea. as an alternative they may say you are exuberant or enthusiastic.

When you start the Senior Citizens Dating game and look at other personals you will very soon discover that most people uses big words about themselves, like having a great sense of humor, or being the most straight forward person in the world, it is very rare that people write about what they are not good at. Try to be different and original and be honest.

Another important issue is to ask yourself what do you want? think about the qualities another person have that you want in your life, it is not all about you having to adapt to other peoples life, it is about what you want in your life.

Senior Citizens Dating is about you, and about you having joyful moments. Make sure you do not fall into the category being desperate finding a new love. People can sense that, focus on creating friendships to begin with and take it from there and one day you new love is going to be right there.
