Making a great connection in Leeds in the second half of life
It is natural to feel a bit out of practice when starting over. Apprehension about online dating happens to everyone, but writing a new chapter is entirely possible. You might be hoping to meet a single woman your age, or perhaps you want to meet a single man over 50 who appreciates the quieter moments in life.
Our mobile app and website let you chat and break the ice online before planning a low pressure meeting. Getting to know each other at a relaxed pace makes the whole experience much more enjoyable, and that can become something real, beyond the screen. Yes, in real life.
Top tips for your first date in Leeds
Feeling a little nervous before meeting someone new is something everyone experiences. Keep things simple and choose a setting where you both feel completely at ease.
- Opt for a daytime coffee at a quiet spot like La Bottega Milanese. A daytime meeting keeps the pressure low and allows you to chat naturally.
- Take a gentle stroll around the lakes at Roundhay Park. Walking side by side often makes conversation flow much easier than sitting face to face.
- Keep the first meeting brief. Knowing there is a set end time takes the pressure off, and you can always plan a second date if you both feel a great connection.
