Dating tips for shy guys over 50

If you’re over 50 and consider yourself shy, the dating world is probably very intimidating. You may not have been in the dating game for a long time either, so getting back on the horse is always difficult at first. Hey, that’s why we’re here today. We want to help make it as easy as possible to beat. Here are some tips that will have you getting dates left and right without even working hard to get them.

Be open minded

In the past you probably had a certain type of woman that you thought was better for you. This could include a certain hair color, the right age group, what she likes to do, and even how well she looked or was dressed. When you hit fifty, some of these criteria can be thrown out the window. After all, you’re not trying to find the most attractive woman; she is trying to find a partner that she can enjoy time with whenever she gets together.

So the perfect woman for you now may not be the same choice as someone you were looking for when you were in your 20s or 30s. The more open-minded you are about the options, the easier it will be to find a date night.

Build a natural conversation

We know you’ll probably have to do some work on this, because shy guys have a harder time having natural conversations. There always seem to be awkward pauses between conversation for a shy guy over 50. To change this, you must be prepared before you talk to a woman. However, you can’t make it sound like you’re reading a checklist. Let everything flow as naturally as possible and she enjoys the time she spends with you.

Choose an isolated location

One of the biggest mistakes any man makes when choosing a date spot is going to bars. Sure you could have dinner first, but going to a bar just provides him with so much more temptation. These are prime places for single men to sit, so if you want her to focus on you, then take her somewhere out of the way. It does not have to be romantic, but a place that is not surrounded by many people.

This will give you the chance to really get to know each other.

Let him know that you’re a little shy

Well, don’t go up to her and say; Hi, I’m a bit shy. What we mean by this is simply try not to appear shy during your initial meeting. However, if you get more dates with her, over time you will be able to let her know how shy you are around women. At this point, it won’t be a big deal, but if you tell her on the first date, she might be “embarrassed” (pun intended).

In the end, if you try all of these tips and for some reason they don’t work, it’s time to take a different route. Consider online dating sites if you can’t seem to get over that feeling of shyness. They allow you to set up a profile so that women can see you. This means less work for you, and they will already be interested before they even meet you. This will definitely remove the intimidation factor.
