I'm 46(but i look 36).I'm stuck in the 70's and I haven't dated in 10 years. How do I start dating again?

Question

Where am I supposed to start?

Answer 1

Yahoo personals is a great place to start. No bars and you can meet woman that have the same interests as you.

Answer 2

Get a make over at the hair dressers - start with a good wax. When you feel all lovely and out of the time warp move into the year 2007 and sign up for online dating services. Get out and about. Take a course in something - not fashion or design cause you will have to wait a little while for 70's fashion to come back again lol. Meet people with a common interest and have fun and smile.

Answer 3

Dating Service

Answer 4

First head off to the hairstylist and the department store. Ideally find a female to help you and explain your predicament. Put yourself in their hands to re-do your look. If they're anywhere near the right age, practice your flirtation skills on them while you're there.

Then find some activity to involve yourself in--volunteering, a sporting group (they have things specifically for singles), an adult education class, church group if you go, etc etc. Just meet people and get used to carrying on conversations with both sexes and being social. Not only are you meeting people, but by becoming involved in things you're making yourself a more well-rounded and interesting person, and thus more attractive.

Once you've gotten comfortable meeting people and you've made a few friends of both sexes, it's a natural step to ask someone out on a date. And you'll have friends to help you out and introduce you to other people.

I'm 30 years old but I love the seventies! Actually, most of the best music ( in my opinion) were composed during those times. Just be yourself...... You need not be too modern to fit in, niether do you need to be too modern to date! Somehow, you'll find someone who will find you interesting, attractive or even lovable. just make sure you dont go around wearing hippie clothes, low waist bell bottom jeans, they're not appropriate these days.

Somehow, some one out there will appreciate you for who you are....that is more important than trying to be someone you are not and being liked for someone you are not, then would end up miserble...... good luck!

Answer 6

First, get out of the 70's. Update yourself, hair,clothing etc. Then put yourself out there for people to see and met. Go to libraries, volunteer centers, there are lots of good places to met people. Stay away from bars, you may find someone there, but 95% of the time it is not a good thing.

Answer 7

Good for you, you aren't just getting the first moron that happens by, you're thinking about it and getting advice.

Think of all the things you want from her, what you'll want to do with her, where you'll go with her, what you hope she does for fun, for work, what your interest are that you want her to share, what you want to discuss with her about your interests.

Ok, now that you've got an idea, write it all down, and keep adding to it for like a week.

Then boil off all the less important stuff like:
she has to like Coke not Pepsi,

and prioritize stuff like:
cats or dogs , snakes and birds are outta here,
likes ice cream or popcorn (what ever your preferences are)
doesn't have allergies to your favorite foods, pets, etc
she has to have a job,
be clean,
be respectable,
smart enough to challenge your intellect now and again,

Maybe you're tired of high maintenance, chick flicks, drama queens etc... put all that stuff into the Bad column

Maybe you're ready for a dancer, musician, artist, dba, medical worker etc... put all that into the good column.

When you've thought it out, and are ready to get your girl, your list ought to tell you where to look.... Not in bars, clubs, or at the end of a party. Definitely in the galleries, museums, studios, college campuses, etc.


Play it smart and date a lot before looking out for a ring.

I can recommend Match.com for a good eval of yourself and her, but first do your list I wrote about. It will save time in the long run.

I also recommend that you insist that she massages you for at least 15 minutes a day, and cooks half the meals, washes when you cook, and vice versa (make the kitchen a shared work area) ... also that she's just the right size for laying next to on the couch.... this is important stuff.

Reject any ones that don't spend their time the way you like, it'll cause endless arguments and strife. If you can't stand beer drinkers, movie renters, video gamers, fashionistas or whatever ticks you off.

It's also better if both of you like the same kind of movies or tv shows, you'll spend more time together enjoying the same stuff.

Live strong and rock your world with the good woman you're waiting for. Don't settle, dating is fun, and no sex for the first 4 dates. At least the first four. But remember that good in the sack and pleasing you is really important and if she's no good in the sack she's no good in your world, ... next!

Oh yeah, she's got to pass your friends eval, if they can't stand her, you better move on fast, your friends aren't blinded by your desires, and will be the best filter for weeding out the bad ones you can get. But be gentle, and fair, let her know on the 3rd or 4th date that she's about to meet the circle of friends to see if they approve... it's the right way to handle it I think, your friends are objective, and they love you enough to help with this stuff... sometime your friends might need her to help them move, help pick out your xmas present, whatever...

Almost forgot, he needs to be the kind of woman that visits hospital bound friends daily too.

Yeah, I'm throwing a lot your way, and describing my criteria for good girlfriends, but you don't have the time to make all the mistakes I've made, do you?
