Mumsnet has not checked the qualifications of anyone posting here. Many Mumsnetters experiencing domestic abuse have found this thread helpful: Listen up, everybody. So not ready yet but wondered if you wise people can tell 40s the best place to look. I found match or Pof pretty good mainly because socially I met people as well as dating. I met a "40s" of guys who are just friends now.
Off the dating scene for a bit but have been on OLD for the last 4 years until recently. Eharmony is rubbish, not enough choice, tinder is a meat market. Jeaux90, I would agree. But as with most sites, you have to weed out the players. Have you tried any for, op? My mum is 67 and has dating on plenty of fish for a while over. She's had two good boyfriends from it but they didn't work out for various reasons but shes still hopeful and has met some lovely people through it, many have just turned into platonic friendships.
I am 36 and met dh through plenty of fish when I was Yes I'm sure people will come along and tell you how awful it is but I think it's just a huge site as it's free so you do get more weirdos simply because there are over people, over if you're ruthless and dating and delete as necessary you'll be left with the good ones!
Yeah absolutely notsure raises a good point I mean you have to really qualify them in our or out pretty quick. Don't over read more emotionally, move to a phone call as quick as you can as speaking tells you way more about someone than messaging does. Make sure they are who they say they are google them etc and don't compromise on the big stuff. Absolutely, fairylea. I'm dating a lovely guy at the mo who I found on POF. Had it have been tinder, I'd have swiped left.
At least with POF, you can build up albeit a for idea of any potential dates. I am in the same boat.
Best Dating App For Cities: Hinge
I have just set up a free profile on Times Encounters. I am a bit apprehensive so, haven't handed over any money yet. Log in to update your newsletter preferences. Eg, putting more than two kisses after a message is a huge turn off for me.
Especially in an introductory message. Can I just say one of the best tips for internet dating is always make the first date a daytime coffee. Not dinner. Then you can always escape quickly and easily if they're not your thing!
And if they are It seems to be a complete minefield!! I am over recently for 45 year old single mum and haven't been on a date for 24 years. I am just looking for a few nights out. If I make for new friends, great. If it leads to more brilliant but, I am not holding my breath!! I'm 47 and joined match. Had lots of views and two chaps sent emails but both not in my 'range' ie over 6ft tall!!
Best Overall Dating Site For People Over 40: eHarmony
Have clicked favourite on several people but none have replied. Not sure how much longer I will give it as its making me feel very negative about myself.
Fairy Lea good tip and lovely story. Over afraid I found them all hopeless and I know many friends who said the same. Interestingly, despite the statistics saying a large percentage of people now say they net their OH online, I know dozens 40s people who have used OLD but only two long term relationships. Most nothing more than a series of dates. I 40s it makes a huge difference depending where you live.
Thanks for the advice Fairylea! I live in a rural area so was hoping to meet people with common interests further afield. I have so far been messaged by a 60 year old bloke in Thailand and another from Costa sel Sol. It hasn't started well! Donna what site are you on? You also need to message read article, just thought I would mention that as I found some guys I dated said they never would have messaged me apparently I am intimidating.
Thanks Jeaux. I am on Times Encounters. I have only just set up my profile. I haven't plucked up the courage to dating yet! I will be joining you in the OLD scene in January. I have had 2 abusive past relationships that I am not completely recovered from so trying to get myself back to being me before I put myself back on the market but I have promised myself I am going to get back in the dating scene after christmas. I have tentatively joined one in the past: Completelyfreedating.
It just feels really scary but I am going to be more proactive when I re-join. My best for was with Match, but you have to have a thick skin and I did get to dating point of giving up, often thought of writing a book about my experiences you couldn't have made them up! That is good to hear Chimpfield! Glad dating works. I am not having much luck - unless I am after a man in his seventies!! I met my ex on match. We were together for 9 years and are still friends so I've recently joined back up.
Hi peeps. I've just turned 40 and single. Been single for about a year and now I think it's time to get in gear and find me a lady. Personally I thought EHarmony was rubbish, I had some dates through Tinder and Bumble and had quite a few dates through my local radio site which fell under the Venntro umbrella.
Find love with Over 40s Dating
A lot of the dating sites do fall under different umbrellas, for example Match also covers a few others - if you go on the 'about' tab at the bottom of a site it should give you information. I met my partner through Match a few months ago and he was the only guy on there that I ever had a message from! So, it does only take one! You do need a thick skin for online dating, it's not a place for vulnerable or gullible people, two brothers equally you can meet some incredibly nice people along the way.
