Over 50 Online Dating


Over 50 online dating is "in" nowdays. There are sites that host such social event for people who never seem to get over dating, even in their prime years. They are commended for people who are still single or may have been separated. You can date online just for fun or you can also do that if you are seriously looking for a partner or a companion.
The advent of the internet made everything more convenient. Nowadays, almost everything that you need can be found online. What's more exciting is that even dating can be done through the internet. Meeting people from anywhere in the world is not that difficult anymore.
However, most people believe that such activities are just for younger people. Wrong! It can also be for people who are around 50 years old or more. Going on dates or engaging in a romantic relationship when you are already 50 or above does not mean you are running out of time. Sometimes, it may mean that you are just after finding the perfect match for yourself.
The secret of getting the right partner for yourself is just be yourself. You do not have to fabricate information which may not be real. Remember that in Over 50 online dating, the first step that everyone would like to take is to get to know the other person better. Therefore, it is quite important to be honest about who and what you are.
Most of the people who get into over 50 online dating have surpassed the teenage ways and perception of dates. Most of those people who want to go on dates at 50 are probably just looking for the best person with whom they can spend great time with.
Most members of these dating sites are either widows, widowers or divorced; while the rest are still 100% single. They are definitely people who already know what exactly they really want because perhaps, experience had made them realized that.
There are many sites that cater over 50 online dating. One example is Prime Singles. In sites such as this one, you can definitely find the perfect match that you are waiting for. The membership of these sites is normally free although there are some that allow their members to upgrade their membership in order to avail the benefits that are only intended for premium members.
Finding the perfect match is never too late even when you are in your prime years. You can still find the best person for you. There can be a lot of options and among them is joining dating sites such as this one. Learn more about over 50 online dating by viewing my blog.

How to Get Over an Ex


So, he/she told you it's over! They've moved on, but you can't. Waiting and hoping that your special ex will change their mind or come back to you is NOT advisable.

A Note on the "Real" Loss - People (especially women) will often fall for the idea of what they think someone is. Sadly, when the relationship fails, the feeling of loss that descends over you, isn't necessarily the loss of the person or even the relationship itself. Rather, it may be the idea/fantasy of what one had hoped for, which is the true source of pain.
So, how DO you let go and move on?
Step 1. Cut-off All Contact
You need to give yourself time to heal and accept the finale of your relationship/dating/talking or whatever you were doing. By cutting off all contact, you provide yourself with some space and the ability to free your mind. Remember as long as you are in a head space about that ex, you're never available for someone better. Cutting off contact means no calling, texting, G-mailing, BlackBerry messaging, skyping, or Facebook messaging. If you think you'll be tempted to reconnect, than DELETE all contact info. Yes, this may be drastic, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Also, do not update your status (through the various media channels) with subliminal messages. This is transparent and will not help you! I usually recommend at least a 30 days of Poof! Be Gone! But, depending on the seriousness of your relationship you may need to extend it to 90 days.
Step 2. Acceptance
In the beginning of a relationship people tend to see only the good stuff, while negating the lesser qualities he/she is also presenting. When the relationship ends, you may realize the presence of those lesser qualities have always existed. By paying attention to these lesser qualities now, you may find yourself glad you are no longer with your ex.
You need to confront the brutal facts. Take note of what fantasies you may have created AND what you were not getting from the relationship. If you do this honestly, I guarantee you'll be glad you are no longer with your ex.
Step 3. Realize Your Worth
You have to KNOW your strengths and practice self-love. If you don't know this, how can you ever expect anyone else to know it? If you're having a hard time with this, make a list of the amazing qualities that define you, and say it to yourself. You have to truly realize YOU are awesome and worth being with someone who values you. If the person you were with before doesn't want you, then clearly he/she doesn't deserve you... KEEP IT MOVING... Onto, a bigger and better fish in the sea!
Step 4. Find a New Passion
This is a chance to gain a new love outside the realm of a relationship. Take a moment to think about what you really love or would like to do, and busy yourself with it. This is another way to free up your headspace.
Step 5. Get Out There & Date Again
Date with no expectations. Create a roster of new possible candidates, always reminding yourself of how AMAZING you are. Don't settle too quickly on a new interest either, as this may only be a rebound and prevent you from truly moving on. And most importantly, always be yourself.
As you embark on a new relationship, always be sure to park any fantasies you may have. Stay in the moment and let the future unveil for you what it has planned. Let him/her prove he deserves you and allow whatever is to happen, happen. Plain and simple, go with the flow! No expectations, no fantasies and no limitations. Finally, don't paint the next person with the same brush. Everybody deserves a fresh start.

Will be launching two similar (but different) dating sites soon!

The Dating Game

Partly due to my own desire to set up an online dating community done my way, partly as an experiment to try out, report and review several different white label dating site platforms and part for my desire to continue to build and diversify my growing web properties portfolio I am in the backend development phase of launching two different Over 50 dating sites. They will use two different platforms, use different membership databases and launched simultaniously and tracked against each other for growth, performance, ease of use, browser compatibility, membership size & overall quality and whatever statistic I can measure including the almighty "ROI". One will be setup with a more traditiional/conservative tone to it while the other will be an anything goes freakshow as I will use these sites to gauge current trends in dating; whether online daters prefer a more conservative or more x-rated site.
