Do you remember when dating would start with "My friend likes you …" and end with a cheese-and-onion-flavoured kiss? Or when, at work, a casual "No, no – let me go to the printer for you" would lead to an invitation for an after-work sauv blanc? Or when loved-up or bored friends would try to fix you up with their other single mates over a bowl of adequate chilli con carne?
Lumen, meanwhile, a dating app for over-50s, helps with specific issues midlife daters might experience.Charly Lester founded Lumen because, she says, "people in their 50s and 60s had become the forgotten generation of dating. Apps were designed for millennials, making them a miserable experience for everyone else. There are very few over 50s using the other apps – and often men over 50 are searching for women in their 30s or 40s.
One no-no: don't upload photos of yourself with friends. No ego can survive the "Are you the pretty brunette? No? Could you get me her number?" moment.Dating doesn't have to mean dinner and a film. Gosh, that's commitment. You could wander around a market. Go to an art exhibition. Do some touristy sightseeing. You don't have to sit and stare at a stranger for hours.
Rule 1 for men over 50: don’t marry or get in a long term relationship. You are retired or close to retiring! Don’t risk your financial future! The courts are itching to give half your wealth away!
