Senior Dating

Senior dating may just be the stealth topic of the new century, what with all the fluidity in relationships and increasing life expectancies we're seeing here.

The flaw in that approach of course is that everything we do is the real thing and the only point at which we are alive is right here right now.

So, dating as an art and an experience in and of itself is under-appreciated. If you're over-50 and single, you might want to consider giving it a new look.

David Burns wrote a charming book on the topic a number of years ago called Intimate Connections.
