Connect with your community: gay, senior dating with SilverSingles
Getting back into dating and meeting a compatible partner can sometimes feel like a difficult undertaking. And gay senior dating does have something of a reputation for being a difficult domain to find a serious, long-term relationship. The gay dating scene, fairly or not, has been accused of frivolity at its best and ageism at its worst. So how do you go about meeting senior, gay singles who share your values and goals?
A key factor to finding the right people is finding the right community. The first step to putting yourself out there to meet singles who also want a lasting relationship is finding those singles! And that’s where SilverSingles comes in. Created for senior singles looking for authentic connections, the platform offers the opportunity to connect with real people looking for real relationships. And although meet-up groups and social networks are a great way to meet other senior gay singles, you don’t know who you will meet or what they are looking for. Enter SilverSingles, the intelligent option when hoping to meet your match on senior gay dating sites.

4 useful gay senior dating tips
Be open
It can be easy to specify exactly want you do and don’t want in a partner while using senior gay dating sites. But you’re both taking a chance on each other so even if they don’t seem the perfect fit, you never know what relationship could develop. So take a chance and it may just be the best adventure you’ve been on! And remember you shouldn’t be afraid to say no – if you’re not comfortable in a situation, it’s your prerogative to just say no. By listening to your heart, be open to where it may lead you.
Be honest
Do you believe in monogamy or is it your goal to get married? It’s helpful for you to be clear with yourself first about what kind of relationship you really want. It may not be suitable first date conversation, but when the time is right, be honest! Even if it’s tempting to try and create a more appealing picture, not being upfront creates a gap between reality and perception. And you know, if you meet the man of your dreams – you want him to see you for who you are!
Be kind
A good rule in dating, as in life, is do to others as you wish them to do to you. Just because it’s online dating, doesn’t make it ok to be disrespectful. Reply to messages, even if it’s to say you’re not interested. Try avoid using stereotypes or clichés in your communications as in truth it undermines the individual. Learn how to give and take acceptance and rejection with equal grace and respect. Good manners and respect take you far in life and online! And, most importantly, be kind and patient with yourself.
Picture perfect
Your profile is the online version of your first impression for potential matches. Choose suitable photos as the golden rule of online gay senior dating. Choose a selection of photos that are accurate and reflect aspects of your personality. Don’t use outdated pictures, or try hide your real age or weight, or whatever other insecurity you may have. You want a date to know who they are meeting on the first date, but you also want to put your best foot forward. Select pictures with good lighting, recently taken, and in which you’re appropriately dressed, smiling and comfortable.
