Dating Advice

Hey all ma fellow golden lovers! 

So, how does a guy from the UK successfully date and get into a relationship these days? I'm really missing having a partner of my own and I'm struggling to get anywhere with ladies of my age, or ladies period (excuse the pun).

Most people I'm finding aren't interested in connecting on a personal level with anyone, and it's all too common to ghost someone with no reason. I'm on the free versions of most of the dating apps in the UK, but get nowhere. 

So at this point, I'm looking for pointers or heads up as to what to do =] This is just a non-golden related posting =3

Thanks in advance!

I think those date apps are impersonal,  go to a pub, talk to chicks, buy em a pint

My 2nd real serious boyfriend (ex fiance) was a real gentleman to begin with. 

My hubby was a real gentleman and hero, but now I'm off track again 😆

Nice.

There is nothing better than steak and red wine. Add mushrooms and red onions and a bit of Dijon Mustard and it's heaven.

Then, as you say, Black Forest Gateau... and a nice espresso to top things off.

Best. Food. Gasm. Ever. Lol

Nah. Don't worry about it. There are good carbs and bad carbs. Bread is good carbs.

Dating advice:

Compatibility is the key.

Common ground too, tho the more u progress the more u communicate 

[Ivy1989 1,622]

Hubbyband I took pre martial counseling,  communicating was our strong part, the pastor of the church we were going too was great 

[Ivy1989 1,622]

Another great thing to do is read the 5 love languages,  I'm a giver, that's how I show love

Lots of couples don't realize the nuances of marriage. They just jump into marriage and relationships without a moment's thought.

I hope the OP knows that he'll only get out as much as he puts in.

Kinda like my bff Mrs Bridger it seems, but I know her guy lol, and he's pretty awesome for a guy lol

Well you can go on dating sites which nowadays don't have the sort of seedy, last chance salon reputation that they used to have.  A lot depends on what you're looking for.  Personally I've not met with any lasting success with those sorts of sites.   The lasting relationships I've had have been with people I've either met naturally in day to day life or on other platforms.
