Baby boomers fall into a unique category if they suddenly find themselves in the middle of the dating scene again. We have been there and done that, but it seems like the rules have changed since we were dating years ago. This is what I have learned about the dating process now that I am over fifty.

• Going on a date has become much more complicated. You will both have careers, children, elderly parents and other lifestyle issues that make it more difficult to just go to dinner and a movie without having to make arrangements for people or pets.
• More than likely you will have major disagreements with the person you are dating over issues such as religion, politics, the economy, child-rearing, retirement choices, and more. Resign yourself to this so that you are not personally insulted when your date disagrees vehemently with you when you make what you think is just an innocent comment.
• You aren’t a kid anymore so sex is not the most important thing. Even if it seems like it is in the very beginning, soon one or both of you will just be too tired or some body part will hurt. This is because you will both probably have arthritis.
• It can be fun getting to know someone new at any age. It is very interesting to be dating someone who is also a grandparent. Family gatherings become multi-generational and you never know what might happen.
• You deserve to be happy. If you want to start dating just go for it. Your ideal mate could be out there right now thinking the very same thing.
