There are tons of articles, videos, books, and advice on how to meet people. What to do, what not to do, what to say, what not to say, where to date, where not to date… The best value is being authentic, not playing games, and being yourself. Only by doing so will you stand a chance of really attracting them to you, and not to an artificially created image. Of course, dating should be done lightly, and to some extent it is a game. …… However, it is not advisable to lie or put on a Superman or Superwoman mask. Ironically, this is the hardest thing to do under pressure.

Sometimes the problem is where to find people who are interested in you. And the older you get, the more difficult it becomes, like a puzzle. The first option is to use one of the many online dating sites. The advantage is that you don\’t have to hide behind a monitor and communicate face to face right away. The disadvantage is that you don\’t know if the photos are real or if the person is really you.

There are also dating agencies, where you fill out a detailed questionnaire, and based on that questionnaire, they will select the best match for you and set you up on a date. They also offer a variety of events for singles. Most of them are outdoors-related, such as travel, experiences, and staycations. In larger cities, there are speed dating nights or speed dating. These involve a minimum of six men and six women, with each couple spending five minutes with each other. After the event, one of the couples is evaluated to see if they like each other and a classic date is arranged.

It is possible to rely on chance, which means having a social life. Going to events and concerts, swimming, signing up for adult dance classes. Even walking the dog can be a great way to strike up a conversation with other walkers. Sometimes friends have lonely friends or acquaintances and they go to events together to get to know each other.

Even if the first or second time doesn\’t work out… You don\’t have to give up. There is someone waiting for you somewhere.
