Love after 60 (part 1): Why it’s never too late to find the one
Three benefits of finding love later in life.
If you find yourself single in the plus 60 zone, you might just be in the perfect age group to meet the partner you’ve been waiting for. Here are three reasons why finding love after 60 is actually often the best time to start a new relationship:
Dating is not so fake
Dating. It can be the most awkward, cringe-worthy experience. Especially when your date arrives and is nothing like the person he or she pretended to be. Dealing with the insecurities and social pressures of dating in your 20s or 30s and finding “the one” is all a thing of the past when you think about dating after 60. At this stage in life, you are no longer trying to please others or pretending to be something you are not. You have lived, experienced ups and downs and you know who you are, what you want in life and in a partner and you are not afraid to say it. This makes for a much more authentic dating experience and easier to know early on if you have found a potential partner on your date or not.
Your life goals are different
Post 60, you are no longer feeling the pressures of society to live the white picket fence life by a certain age along with a perfect spouse, successful career and 2 children in private schools. At this stage in your life, you have made your mark, achieved your career goals, your children are grown up and out of the house and you can enjoy spoiling your grandchildren. Now your life goals might include traveling, taking up certain new hobbies and just simply enjoying life. Without all that pressure, you can fall in love and live the good life together.
Your emotional intelligence has matured
After having lived 60 plus years, you’ve learnt a thing or two about emotions. Reaching a point in life where you are emotionally mature makes for much easier relationships, as you’ve learnt when to pause and reflect and how to deal with difficult situations.
