Where Do Singles Meet at 50?

Find local Singles Over 50 groups in Boston, Massachusetts and meet people who share your interests. Join a group and attend online or in person events. Although New York City is one of the most expensive places to live in the U.S., it arguably offers one of the best lifestyles for people in their 50s who want to live in an urban location. According to AARP, it is one of the top locations for older singles who want to date, as there are so many events, groups, and activities in the city.

It’s increasingly common for singles over 50 to meet new people online. Internet dating sites make it easier for you to make yourself more visible to local older singles. When you start working on an online dating profile, it’s important to be as honest and as clear as possible. Talk about who you are, what you are looking for, who you would like to meet, and what your main interests are. It also helps if you upload a few recent images of yourself so people can see to who they are talking to. Tempting as it might be to upload a few images of yourself from days gone by, your date will see what you look like now when you meet them in a real-life setting, so this is only ever likely to backfire. You can take things as quickly or as slowly as you like when you use online dating sites, and there is no need to reply to every single message that you receive.

How Do I Attract a Man over 50?

The best way to attract a man over 50 is to make sure others are aware of your existence. This means you should at least look online if you spend most of your time at home. People can’t find out about you if you are hidden away, so it really does make sense to make yourself as visible as possible. Go to local community meet-ups, nearby bars, coffee mornings, events, and more to ensure you are seen. You never know who you might meet! You also have a better chance of starting something new with a suitable person if you are willing to approach people and kickstart conversations. Although this can seem daunting at first, the results can be fantastic.

Where to Meet an Older Women near You?

The approach is generally the same if you are seeking an older woman rather than a man. Visit places like bars, cafes, and theatres, public transport, and attend get-togethers to start connecting with more people. Not everyone you encounter will be suitable, but you could find yourself talking to someone incredible in no time at all.

Some people return to the offline method when they have tried online dating or simply wish to meet someone the old-fashioned way. There are many things you can try if you do wish to increase your chances of meeting someone great offline. When you speak to someone for the first time offline, you can get a good grasp of what their conversational skills are like, how they come across away from their computer, assess their sense of humour and so on. You can kickstart conversations with older men by buying them a drink at a restaurant or cafe, approaching them at parties, at work, whilst volunteering, whilst walking your dog, at sports events, in waiting rooms, in grocery stores, and even on vacation. In fact, singles holidays are ideal for older individuals who want to meet like-minded people who are also looking for love.

How to Find a Good Man over 50?

You have no way of telling whether a man is ‘good’ or not during your initial conversations. The best thing you can do is to spend enough time around them to make a considered judgement about them. If alarm bells do start to ring for any reason, it may be best to explore other avenues. However, once you have been out for around four or five dates and things still seem to be going well, there’s every chance things could blossom into something truly spectacular. Dating after 50 can be daunting, but your best and most romantic experiences may still be ahead of you.

There are many different places you can go to, and events you can attend if you want to meet a good man over 50. The best thing to do is to make yourself visible to the kind of men you want to meet to ensure that they are aware of your existence. Don’t be shy when it comes to kick-starting new conversations, and don’t be downhearted if a date doesn’t go well, and you need to start all over again. People of all ages date several singles before they find the right partner for their needs! Why not put a plan in place right now? Starting an online dating profile can put you on the right track.

Now that the weather is finally starting to warm up and we’re coming out of hibernation, it’s a great time to head out into the real world and look for the quality men you want to meet as a woman over 50.

Here are 15 spots that are great bets for finding available men near you, plus what to say to strike up a conversation once you see an interesting man.

  1. Wine shops that have classes and tastings. These are easy to do alone. All you have to do to start a conversation is to ask which wine has been his favorite so far. Just be careful driving home.
  2. Dog parks. Borrow a dog from a friend if you have to. Dog people are really friendly! To start a conversation, ask for a vet recommendation or compliment his pup. Men love compliments too!
  3. As you travel to work on public transportation, look up from your book and check out who might be a potential suitor. Smile at him and ask him what time it is.
  4. Restaurants. Go out with a girlfriend and ask the man at the table next to you what he’s eating that looks so good. Sitting at the bar is a great way to do this, even if you’re alone!
  5. Whole Foods or your local grocery store. Men have to eat and unless their mom still cooks for them, they have to buy food around dinnertime. Get his recommendation on which fish or vegetable to buy. A bonus…maybe you’ll find one that will cook for you, too!
  6. Singles cruises and resorts.Yes, men do travel alone. When you meet, ask him if he’s there for work or pleasure. I know a woman traveling alone who met a wonderful guy at a resort. Just be sure to check out the average age of visitors to the area so you aren’t stuck with spring break kids. Cruise lines are well aware of singles and have special promotions and activities geared specifically for them.
  7. Starbucks or your favorite local coffee shop. This is an obvious one because so many men of all ages frequent a coffee shop daily.It’s easy to strike up a conversation about what their favorite coffee is.
  8. Meet-up.com has all kinds of local activities going on every day. One of the best for meeting men is a Happy Hour geared to men and women over 40.
  9. Your hair salon. You might laugh at this, but men come in for haircuts and even manicures! I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve sat next to a man getting a pedicure minus the colorful polish. Tell him how brave you think he is for coming into the salon.
  10. Hardware stores like Home Depot or Lowe’s, especially on the weekend. Men have to go somewhere to buy the materials they need for fixing things in their lives. This is the perfect time to ask them for help picking out the tool you need for a project around your house.
  11. Wine festivals or outdoor events. With live music playing, the sun setting, and glasses clinking, ask the man next to you which winery he recommends.
  12. Upscale casinos are popping up everywhere and men do love gambling. Hang out near the roulette table and be his lucky charm. If the casino is attached to a hotel, sit at the bar with a friend and start talking with men who come in for a drink or dinner. Or play into his DNA of helping a damsel in distress by asking him for gambling tips.
  13. Major or minor league sporting events. Whew, you can just feel the testosterone in those stadiums! Standing in line for food or drinks is a good time to strike up a conversation about the game or the food.
  14. Places that have live music on the weekends. Men will often go have a drink at the bar while listening to the group that is playing. Best music bets are jazz, blues and good ole’ rock and roll. Ask him who his favorite band is.
  15. The VERY BEST PLACE to meet men is at an online dating site. Men are there 24 hours a day/7 days a week. It’s like college was…where everyone was single. Today, everyone’s just older. Send interesting men winks or favor them and see what happens! Here are some of my favorites to get you started. Lisa’s favorite dating sites.

Now it’s your turn. Start writing a list of places in your area to meet men and a few things to say to get the conversation flowing. I think once you focus on it… you’ll find available men are everywhere.

Would love to hear how meeting men in real life has been going for you.
