Many people in this age group have lots of experience with computers and with social media sites. This is a benefit because online dating sites have many similarities to social media sites. When you join the site you start by setting up profile. Like on social media sites, your dating profile allows other people to get to know a little bit about you. People are able to search your profile based on criteria they select and what type of person they are looking for. You are also able to search other profiles based on your compatibility criteria.

When you have viewed a profile that interests you and you would like to get to know that person better, you can message them. They then have the opportunity to view your profile. If they are also interested in you a date might be in your future. You can exchange phone numbers and set up a time to meet. Be sure to meet in a public place initially. Unfortunately, people with less than the best of intentions do try to find victims on these sites from time to time.

When you have agreed on the perfect meeting place a date is in your future. Who knows, you might just be meeting that special person that you choose to spend the rest of your life with!
