Dating For Baby Boomers – Relationships Can Be Difficult
4 Comments
Relationships are never easy. No matter if you are dating or married there always seems to be something that goes awry. As a dating baby boomer I feel like my problems are different because of my age and my experiences. I am not sure if this is true or not, but that is how I feel. This is my latest dating experience.I dated Adam for about six months over two years ago. He is almost ten years younger than me and has a thirteen year old daughter who lives several hundred miles away. I knew him first about five years ago when he was going through his divorce. We ran into each other again a few years later and began dating.
We seemed to have so much in common but then he stopped calling me. I just let it go because I was very busy at the time. I have not dated since. Last month Adam called and left a message on my cell phone. He said that he wanted to see me again and I agreed to go to dinner with him. We went on two more dates and then he stopped calling – again.
This is what I think:
- People today are very busy with their jobs and other commitments and starting a new relationship may just be more than some people can do
- It is best to meet someone at a group you go to regularly or through mutual friends. Trying to meet someone any other way may be futile
- Some people will end up single for the rest of their life and that is alright.
Finding a blissful relationship may be harder than I thought.

Baby Boomers are utilizing the internet for dating more than any other age group. Some of them report great success while others have dismal experiences. As a psychotherapist who works with life transitions, I offer these thoughts to help improve your success.
Baby Boomers have different goals and needs than the younger folks using dating sites because they are in a different life stage. Understanding these differences can make your experience of midlife dating more enjoyable.
1. Boomers have had prior love relationships—usually at least one marriage. This changes both perception and expectation.
2. Boomers have built a life and are looking for someone with whom they can share it.
3. Rather than being “upwardly mobile,” Boomers usually are enjoying the fruits of their youth.
4. Boomers have developed strong belief systems—what they value, what they believe and who they vote for.
5.Boomers are looking for someone to share the hard times as well as the fun times. They know that life is short, people get sick and die, pensions can disappear and the unexpected happens.
By taking sometime to explore what kind of relationship they REALLY want at this stage in life, Baby Boomers are less likely to set themselves up for disappointment.

Thank you for your post Dr Ferber. I think part of their disappointment also comes in the fact that some don’t leave room for change. Finding that certain someone regardless of age group requires openness and flexibility. Some boomers get set in their ways and expect the dating scene to conform to those ways. That’s a good start to setting themselves up for failure.
