Age isn’t a barrier to dating – it’s an advantage!  Dating in your 50s is just as exciting as it was in your 20s or 30s, and it’s far more satisfying too.

You’re never too old to date or look for romance, companionship and someone to share both the exciting and mundane moments of life – and that’s why so many of us over 50s are flocking to online dating.   Read on to discover why age is an advantage when you’re dating.

You Know Yourself

It is a cliché, but by the time we’re in our 50s, we’re older, wiser and know ourselves much better than we did when we were in our 20s and 30s. We know what we want, what will complement our life and what our boundaries are far more than we did when we were younger – and because of this, we’re more successful daters. Continue reading »

Dating Advice: How To Write A Winning Profile

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Write a winning profile that will get you noticed for all the right reasons.

Here's how to write a profile that will get you noticed for all the right reasons.

It can be daunting writing your dating profile; what should you say, how long should it be and how do you make it interesting?  Here’s how to get noticed for all the right reasons.

First Impressions Count

Think of your profile and photo as your calling card; this is your first impression so make sure it counts! Anyone who visits your page will decide whether or not they want to hear from you, contact you, or meet up with you on the basis of your profile.

When you first join, take a look around DatingAgency.com to see what other members do, so you can see what looks great and what sounds dreadful. We’re sure you’ll agree that there’s nothing worse than a one line profile that says; ‘I don’t know what to write here. If you want to know anything, just ask.’ This just makes the person sound dull, uninteresting and lazy, and if you do this whilst paying to be a full member, you’re just wasting your money!

Date Film: Glorious 39

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

If you’re dating and looking for a film to watch at the cinema, go and see Stephen Poliakoff’s latest film, Glorious 39.

Stephen Poliakoff on the set of Glorious 39

It’s a truly British film with a stellar cast of actors which uses the weeks preceding the outbreak of World War 2 as the backdrop for this psychological thriller.

The summer of 1939 had been golden and dominated by some of the greatest parties the aristocracy had ever held – yet it turned into an autumn where the survival of democracy was hanging by a thread.  Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was at the forefront of the movement to appease Hitler, whilst a small group of forward-thinking politicians led by Winston Churchill advocated the need to go to war and face the Nazi threat head-on.

Dating: The Cougar Debate

The predatory term 'cougar' is used to describe women who date men younger than themselves

The predatory term 'cougar' is used to describe women who date men younger than themselves

Where do you stand in the cougar debate?   Is a woman dating a man younger than her a new phenomenon, or is the media blowing it all out of proportion?

The tabloids and broadsheets have been awash with reports on ‘cougars’ – women who date men younger than themselves.  It all started when a Parship survey revealed that 35% of women in their 40s, 50s and 60s would date a man at least five years younger – when five years ago the figure was just 8%.

Theatre Date: Marilyn & Ella

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
Marilyn & Ella return to the stage in a new play which explores their extraordinary friendship

Suzie Kennedy and Hope Augustus are Marilyn and Ella in a new play on this November

If you’re dating in London, take your date to see a new show on in the West End this November, which explores the extraordinary friendship between Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzgerald.

She may have been famous for her music and her looks, but Marilyn Monroe was much more than a blonde bombshell.  Way ahead of her time she took a dramatic stand against racism in 1950s America by befriending the black singer Ella Fitzgerald at a time when black music and black singers weren’t welcome on the mainstream theatre and club stages.

It’s a friendship and an aspect of Marilyn’s character that’s rarely touched on in biographies about the icon, but even Ella Fitzgerald herself once said of Marilyn that she “was ahead of her time and she didn’t even know it”. Continue reading »
