Online Dating for Women over Forty

If you are a woman over the age of forty and looking for love, online dating can be an excellent way to meet many great, handsome and available men who are looking for someone like you.  With online dating, as with any form of dating, you must remember that it starts with you.  By the time you are over forty, you have probably figured out that you can’t look for another person to define you or give meaning to your life.  You probably already understand the importance of having self-esteem and confidence.  Although some women over forty feel self-conscious about their age, you need to understand that your age is not the enemy.  Rather, you need to see it as something to your advantage.  By the time you are over forty, life has taught you to be confident and proud of the woman you are.

The truth is that dating and finding love can be difficult at any age.  So save yourself some time and angst.  Be honest with yourself.  You probably already know what you find attractive, what kind of men you won’t tolerate () and what qualities are important to you.  If you haven’t already, take time to make a list of the qualities you want in a man.

One great thing about online dating is that it gives you many options and exposes you to many possibilities.  With dating sites, you are allowed to browse through ads and, if you choose, let them see yours.  You can learn a lot about each other through online communication.  Just be sure not to hide behind your computers forever.  If you are interested in someone, eventually you should meet them.  Yes, that can make people a little nervous.  Don’t place all your hopes for love on any one date.  Go with the intention of getting to know each other.

At any stage of dating or relationships, it is important to remember that no one is perfect.  If the other person says or does something you don’t like, recognize that everyone makes mistakes.  When you are getting to know a man, he may not do everything perfectly.  Although it is important to always keep your eyes open, remember to look at the whole person.  Give yourself the chance to start liking someone and maybe even fall in love.

Top Online Dating Service Websites

The top three online dating services of the year are most likely to be same top 3 as last year, as new polls are showing. Match.com, Yahoo! Personals and eHarmony are in the lead again for top honors as well as top revenue generation.

However, these top sites are now facing stiff competition from niche sites like JDate for Jewish singles, Christian Club for Christian singles, and Shaadi for Indian singles. Targeted sites like those are ever popular, and one can find a site that matches any discriminating love interest.

Even popular social networking sites like FaceBook and MySpace have organized themselves to cater to love seekers using single sub groups. But the biggest growth in the industry is coming from the most surprising spot in the world: India. India has two of the top 10 sites worldwide with Shaadi and Love From India garnering more then 15 million seekers per year.

In the world of love, online dating services have become the apple in the Garden of Eden. Everyone is having a bite. Even those that thought just a few years back that they would never partake, now do. Only those that sell porn rival online dating sites.

Online dating services are usually defined as any online service that offers unmoderated matchmaking, although that definition is always changing. Take for example the relatively new offshoot of social networking for singles, with subgroups within Facebook and Second Life becoming de facto dating services.

 

But traditionally, sites like Match.com, Yahoo! Personals and eHarmony have led the charge, and continue to grow day by day. However, niche personal sites like JDate (for Jewish singles), Christian Mingle (for Christian singles) and Manhunt (for gay men) have become just as popular and offer a more select line of love interests for the discriminating and yearning heart.
