Endless Exciting Senior Date Places







Seniors Enjoy Physical
Dating Activities
1. New a Sport. Guess who are at the golf courses and tennis courts? People of all ages May have met a guy or girl that loves golf or  tennis. Want to plan a date at the golf course or tennis courts. Maybe reluctant in planning a golf or tennis dates because you do not know how to play either sport. Willing to learn golf and tennis clubs give lessons. Both partners maybe novices but sincere about learning sport. Want company take lessons together. When you both became confident in the sport great way for both to enjoy physical activity together.



2. Collapsible Chairs. Throw two collapsible chairs in the car trunk. Fire up the engine take a site seeing tour in your own neighborhood. It is amazing that most people just take the same routes and never venture to unfamiliar area in their own back yards. Go on an adventure. Drive along the coast, go to park or take a mountain route. Spot a great location. Grab your collapsible chairs, sit and relax. Chat and enjoy Mother Nature’s beauty. Not only are you enjoying nature but great way to get to know each other.




Walking Shoes
3. Stay in Shape. Go walks in commercial areas in your neighborhood, local parks or along the beach. Not trying out for the Olympics. Just leisurely enjoyable walk. Site seeing by foot. Can stop at hot dog, hamburger stand, coffee shop, window shop and visit interesting boutique shops.








Senior Dating
Museums
 4. Museum. There are museum for every interest: Art Museums, Modern Art Museums, Classical Art Museum, African American Art Museums, Hispanic Art Museums, Asian Art Museums, Hollywood Museum, Metropolitan Museums, Science Museums, Automotive Museums, Space Museum, Hat Museums and More. Have a day appreciating art and history. Most museums have beautiful outdoor grounds. Grab snacks and have a mini picnic. In cosmopolitan areas some museums have weekly concerts. Plan a day around touring museum, mini picnic and if available musical concert.



 


Sailing Is It
Romantic
5. Set Sails. Rent a sail boat or chartered boat  cruise along local lagoon, marina, lakes or beaches. If taking ocean cruise may see a few whales, dolphins or seals. In any case, nice way to get away and check out your date. Boating is romantic.  





Local Farmer Markets
 Senior Leisure Date
6. Local Farmer Markets. Local Farmer Market just opened in my neighborhood. Fun place to browse and shop. Each stall has different items. Stalls with organic/natural food produce, jewelry stalls, candle stalls, cream and lotion stalls, clothing stalls, accessory stalls, food stalls and more. Bunch of things to see and talk about. Generally, the items are reasonably priced.




7. Wine Tasting. Go to vineyard and attend wine tasting. Maybe your first date do not feel secure?  Invite friend or friends to attend with new date. Need new dates approval to invite friends. Turn this first date into a wine tasting party. Enjoy new or old date and great friends.







Wine Tasting Date

Seniors Kick-Up
Your Heels
 8. Dancing. Dancing is great fun to touch, move and laugh. One thing the chemistry has to be right. If the chemistry is right take dancing classes together. Maybe a great dancer, rusty dancer or venture into new dancing style. Learn something new: square dancing lessons, ballroom dancing lessons or flamenco dancing. What fun the music and freedom of dance? Most of all enjoy dance and music with someone.









9. Home Dining Play Oldie but Goodies.

Dine At Home Play Oldie But Goodies Tunes
Plan lunch or dinner at home. Show your date what a great cook you are. Give the home the ambiance you want. Place freshly cut flowers and or candles in main rooms. Got a fireplace fire it up. Try something different. May want to eat on patio, balcony or backyard. Play rented or Netflix DVD themes can vary from concerts, documentary and or movies. One thing both seniors will appreciate are Oldie but Goodies Music. Remember those old 45 and 78 vinyl records? Have a great meal and reminisce with Back in the Day Tunes.



Senior Date Doggie Walk

10. Got A Dog? Pet lovers take the pets to the dog park. Arrange time and dog park. Both couples have dogs let us see how the dogs get along. More importantly let us see how you and new date get along.


 
11. Music Concerts. In summer months local parks provide free music concerts. Check online for parks, programs and times of music concerts. Great way to spend a summer evening.




Movie Date
12. Movies. Most dating sites will suggest not going to movies on the first date. Reason is, it is dark and you cannot get to know your new date. I do not agree. I love movies. I tend to go to movies near the end of the year. Reason best movies seem to come out near end of year for Academy Award consideration. It is so romantic seeing a great movie on the first date. O.K. it is dark and you cannot talk. So after the movie get snack and talk. I Bet the topic of conversation will be the movie. The movie can be the conversation kick starter. Personalities generally will leak out. First date at the movie maybe a memorable moment in a lasting relationship.

Senior Biking Date
13. Biking.  Make a biking date. What a way to cruise neighborhoods, parks and beaches.. Put on your biking gear do not forget your helmet. Bike along city streets, local parks and beach paths. Take a blanket and snacky foods. Stop have a low budget picnic. No rush spend the day biking, looking at the sites, snacking and chatting. Fun Day!


 
Senior Dating County Fairs
 and Disneyland
14. County Fairs and Disneyland. Go to County Fairs. Hang out have hot dogs and popcorn, enjoy rides and try your skills at games. You may win a prize.  May favorite is still Disneyland. When my kids were small we went to Disneyland all of the time. I do not know who had a better time my kids or me. I like the atmosphere, foods, rides and seeing Mickey Mouse. Your never too old for a County Fair or Disneyland date.

Work Station - Desktop Computer
 Some seniors are intimidated by the computer. The computer is not a monster. Nor is it the wave of the future. In the 1980 home computers were used by work at home adults, adult and children education and entertainment. With the advent of the Internet home computer uses increased drastically worldwide. The Internet provides indispensable communications through email and other network applications.

Seniors are one of the fast growing segments on the Internet. Top Internet dating sites 16% to 17% members are over 55 years of age. Mature members are a special segment with specific dating needs. There are sites that cater exclusively to seniors. Even with the advancement of Senior Online Dating technophobia is stopping some seniors from dating online.

Laptop Computer
I am no computer wiz but there are two types of computers. Workstation – Referred to as Desk Top. Computer fits on the desk: Personal computer used primarily by one user at a time. Stationary unit designed for technical and research uses. Connected to a local area network and uses multiple user operating systems. Laptop or Notebook Computer: Small personal computer with designed for portability. Built in USB ports, graphic cards, sound channel and etc. Home computers have invaluable uses: search any topic, research any topic, news, sports, cooking sites, gardening sites, shop at home, book flights, pay bills, online banking and much more. Word of encouragement. Learning your computer, online services and email takes time. Systems, applications and services change constantly. By the time you have learned one method there has been a changing update. Do not become discouraged and learn at your own pace.
Slow and study wins the race.  Eventually, the computer will become a part of your daily life. Senior Friend Finders meet senior people looking for friendship, companionship, long term relationship or widen social circle. Find Senior Friends Online.

Most people are sincere and honest. On the other hand, there are some people that you need to take precautions. It is unfortunate that you have to exercise dating safety rules because of a few bad apples but that is the reality. Date safety and wisely.

Dating Online Safety Tips:

1. Be Yourself
Senior dating is brave big step. First dates can be nerve racking and it is O.K. being nerves. You may not have been on a date in a long time. You may have met your previous mate in high school, college or in the work place. At that time, dating online was not the vogue. You and your previous mate had a history. You both knew each other's similarities and differences. Your meeting someone you do not know. You are in new territory. You maybe intimidated and insecure. Those feeling are understandable and normal. BUT just be yourself. Be truthful. Common complaints are that some online daters are dishonesty about appearance, age and weight. Male tend to under state their ages and women understate their weights. Let us me realistic daters come in all appearances, ages and weights. Men have a dilemma should they be chivalrous or is the new date independent. The answer is be self. You are looking for someone that wants to date you for your real self. Not someone that you think or they think you should be. Do not camouflage just be your Beautiful Baby Boomer Self. RELAX your new baby boomer date is just as nerve.


2. Adult Conversation
You and your former partner probably shared religious, political, family and money views. Over time you may have accepted your former partner's differing opinions. Your knew your former partner's history. Your first date is a stranger. You cannot explore the whole person on the first date but a few topic tips. A few topic tips to get a conversation started. are hobbies, movies, music, book favorites and favorite foods. You may want to mention places of birth, parents and siblings. Do not harp on and on about your ex. Keep the conversation positive and light. Over time both and your new partner's feelings, interests, professional goals, family values, temperaments and life goals will be revealed.

3. Be Courteous and Polite
Boomers "Old School" but can never steer you wrong. Kindness and consideration goes a long way. Little things like "Thank You" and "Excuse Me".

4. Be Safe
You are going out with someone you do not know. Tell someone you trust where you are going and who you going with. Keep your cell phone charged at all times. Let your contact know approximately when you will return home. If you get a creepy feeling on the first or second date it is not rude to excuse yourself and leave. You can always call a cab or have a friend pick you up. Always have extra money in case you need to call a cab. Having extra money is a special dating tip for women. Another independent approach would be meeting your date at a said location. This way no one is dependent on transportation to or from a date. Uncomfortable apprehensive situations have to be avoided. Boomer dating tip go with your instincts.

5. Independence:
On the first or second date each party may want to pay for the date jointly. Call it dutch dating. That way no one has to feel obliged. Benefit of maturity is self-awareness and independence. You know what you like and do not like all relationships require compromise but retain your independence. Respect independence in others.

6. There Is No Rush:
Most senior online dating sites protect your anonymity. Real first and last names should not be used in profiles. Your user name should be a name you are comfortable with but does not divulge you identity. Chat rooms or forums gives members the opportunity to see how other members interact in group settings. Topics vary daily, social and current events. Your may want to be active in forums or just observe other members. There is no obligation to engage in chat rooms or forums if they are not for you.

7. One-on-one chats online let the conversation flow truthfully and naturally. Compare it to meeting a person personally. Do not push take it slow. Do not feel that your have to fabricate questions or answers trying to impress. Your looking for a solid relationship not a relationship built on sand. Conversely, if the member your communicating with conversation appears to pushy and or concocted you may want to move on. Online chats should move along positively at a natural pace. Interested in a first date give your first name (only) and phone number.

8. Initially just used your nickname in forums and chat rooms. One-on-one online chats retain user name until your comfortable with giving first name and phone number. On first and second date may want to bring a friend or set up a group party or activity (coffee shop or picnic). If dating alone always make friend or family member aware of date time and return time. Always have a charged cell phone and extra cash. Extra cash in case you have to call a taxi home. This seems like a lot of precautions. Generally, it is the same rules to follow on a traditional date excluding online screening, forums and online chats. This main thing to remember is do not feel rushed to engage in a date. Most people are not computer wiz's. Take as much time as you need to familiarize yourself with the dating service and system. Understand online dating profiles, forums and chat rooms. Accustom yourself  to  new way of dating there is no rush.

Availability:
9. In any dating situation all parties have to be respectful of the other person's time. Do not feel obliged to answer every phone call, text message or email. If it is a last minute date arrangement you are not obliged to go on the date. Dating should be comfortable and unrestricted. One ideal quality would be joint respect of each others time and personal life-style. Baby Boomers have been around the dating block once or twice wait for that special one that is considerate. Understanding of Time. Mature adults have busy live styles and social demands. Set aside a special date time comfortable for both partners.

Concentrate:
10. While on your date concentrate on your date. It is rude and not impressionable having a wondering eye or flirting with strangers while on your date. If date has a wondering eye or flirts during date that maybe sign to consider. It is rude to spend the majority of the date on the cell phone, texting or on the lap top. If the date is obsessed with the cell phone, texting or on lap top may be a signal of opposite mates real priority and it may not be dating?

Drinking:
11. You maybe having a great time or maybe having a miserable time on your date. Remember do not drink too much. One drink impairs judgements. It is a sure bet that three drinks will blur judgement.  If the date is successful or a flop keep your disposition.

Family or Best Friend Security:
12. There is nothing like the emotional support of  family or best friend. On the first or second date you may want your new date to meet your family or best friend. Sounds old fashion and yes they are going to give that date the once-over but the feedback maybe invaluable.

Joint Dating:
13. Seniors maybe insecure about initially dating one on one. Consider group dating. Invite friends or family members pick a dating spot. Plan a wine tasting party, coffee or tea bistro, picnic, tour a museum, art gallery, take a boat cruise of bay or harbor, group golfing, group tennis, dog park and etc.

Emotional Safety:
14. If there is a pattern that you can only call new partner's work place. Or if there is pattern that you can only call the home phone during certain hours. Maybe you can only call the new partner's cell phone number. It is possible the the new partner is married or living with someone. If the prospect is married just drop them. No one needs to know the drama why a married person would joined a single online dating service. If a married person has joined a single online dating service, they are initially showing deceit.

No Personal Background Information:
15. Someone that only wants you to reveal yourself and refuses to reveal anything of substance about themselves. Judge for yourself it maybe that the person is extremely shy and a wonderful listener or someone that is secretive and guarded. If it is the latter why is the other person guarded? You may want to ask why and get a satisfactory rely. Conversely, on the first or second date there is no need to disclose everything about yourself. Nice casual dating conversation tips are: favorite movies, favorite writers, favorite books, favorite vacation places and etc.

Background Checks:
16. Verify if dating service requires members to provide background checks. If service does not provide member background checks may want independent background check.

Blow Heart
17. If it sounds too GOOD to be true it maybe too good to be True. On online chats your potential date dines in Paris twice a month, has apartments in Los Angeles, New York and Paris and only attends celebrity parties may raise antennas. Could be a blow heart or truthful.

Money:
18. Unfortunately, there are scam artists or Gold Diggers. The majority of seniors dating online are just sincerely looking for a mate. Seniors have to be responsible with their personal finances.

If a prospect request any of the above do not give any information. Protect your personal information. Never Never give Money.

Health:
21. For serious dates discuss health issues. One or both companions may have health issues. There maybe family members that have serious health issues. If one or both partners have health issues or a family member has serious health issues that can effect the relationship it is best to discuss the issue upfront.

Rejection:
22. Fear of rejection is not based on age. Women and men both have the fear of rejection. Humans want to be accepted and loved. With baby boomers online dating increases the fear. Dating sites require members to write self profiles and provide photos. Boomers may feel those requirement are a form of marketing. It is a form of marketing.

Home and Office Address:
40. Senior dating members do not disclose your home or business address in chat rooms or initial one-on-one emails. When very comfortable with a new friend or before a 1st or 2nd date disclose your home address.

Be Optimistic But Realistic:
41. It is great temptation to just to get out of the house. If you are expecting Fireworks on the first date that probably will not happen and does not mean that the chemistry may not happen over time. On that first date there maybe a comfort level and common interests. You may want to be broad minded and go on a second date. But if there is no chemistry, disappointed and you are uncomfortable pass the second date. An example would be that the person allergic to dogs and you have 3 dogs in your home. Another example would be, you love music and the other person dislikes the sound of music. You maybe divorces with 3 grown children and 4 grandchildren. Your prospective date has never been married and has no children. Additionally, the prospect does not like children. These maybe signals that this is not the relationship for you. A key to a lasting relationship is compatibility. There will be winning and loser dates. You are looking for the WINNER.

44.. You will not be attracted to all members on the senior online dating service. Conversely, not all of the baby boomer online dating members will be attracted to you.
