Tips for Finding Love After 50
Ideally, one can find love when he or she is younger. However, there are instances wherein people don’t have the confidence, skills, and characteristics to search for their special someone. There are also cases wherein a person started a relationship with someone, only to realize after many years that it won’t work out.
If you have experienced these situations, don’t fret. There is never a late time for finding love. Whether you are in your 20s or in your 50s, you can definitely find that special someone, as you long as you make the extra effort. In this post, we’ll discuss several useful tips for finding true love and happiness at the age of 50.
- Do your homework
If you have read your copy of the 50 Shades of Trilogy from Tesco, you probably learned the importance of choosing your partner wisely. In the erotica novels, the male protagonist Christian Grey is suave, but sly and manipulative. Although the relationship worked in the series, it doesn’t mean that everyone is like Mr. Grey.
Sometimes, people who have decent appearances tend to have a twisted persona. Don’t give in to their advances, especially during your first date. It is best if you take it slow and steady so that you won’t get hurt.
- Take a step outside your kitchen
Making your own coffee at home is more cost-efficient instead of buying one from the café. But sometimes, it’s nice to treat yourself to a nice cup of macchiato or espresso outside. In addition, visit a different department store or supermarket to meet new people. Make yourself more visible to your potential partner!
- Dress up
Take the extra effort to make yourself look beautiful. Read fashion tips online so you can stay with the latest trends in clothing and footwear. Dressing up and looking pretty is not just about vanity. Dressing pretty clothes can also help you feel more confident and provides a positive vibe around you. In addition, your appearance is the first thing that people will notice about you. Do you want your potential partner to see you with messy hair and tattered clothes? Save the super casual look when you are already on a stable relationship.
- Educate yourself
While you are still single, reflect on your previous relationships so you know which mistakes to avoid. You can also seek advice from your friends, family, or even a relationship coach (yes, these professionals exist!). The more you know, the easier it’ll be to find your true love.

Renee, in the immortal words of Eddie Murphy channeling his Buckwheat character on SNL, I did not know we should be “wookin pa nub” in the grocery store. Let’s see broccoli, spinach, carrots, love, zucchini, lettuce….Wait, was that love? I found her. Maybe I should have put some Italian dressing on after I shaved. I am thankful, I found my “nub” many years ago and she lets me hang around. BTG
