Could someone help me find an online site to look for a relationship?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

I understand that dating in your 40s can be challenging given that you are ready to settle and most people you meet are still exploring their options before finally settling down. With a strategic approach, you can increase the chances of finding genuine connections.

1) Craft a thoughtful and detailed profile that reflects your values and relationship goals. Make sure to mention what you want and what you have to offer in the BIO to attract people whose preference aligns with yours.
2) While browsing through profiles, pay attention to the content of their bios. You can learn a lot about people from it.
3) Once you find a match, make sure to be clear with your intention to steer away anyone looking for a casual relationship.
4) Choose your dating app carefully. There are apps that cater to daters looking for casual flings and then there are apps that are mostly for serious daters.

Also, remember that patience is key; finding a life partner takes time. You can be selective but not so much that you restrict yourself from having a good time while finding a life partner. Dating should not feel like a business deal; if it does, you are doing it wrong.

Best Wishes!

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

Dating apps in today's day and age are not only exclusively for dating but people also use these apps to find meaningful friendships and even a life partner. It gives you more control over the choosing process than the traditional arranged marriage system. I'd say dating apps are the perfect option for you to choose a partner.

Coming to how to pick the right dating app for you- some apps are known for catering to people who are looking for casual relationships and maybe occasional friendships. Those are not for you. Pick an app that caters to your need- which is to find long-term, exclusive relationships. There are many out there. Once you find the perfect fit, please write a detailed BIO where you mention the kind of partner and relationship you are seeking. It will attract the right kind of people and save you time and energy. Don't forget to write a few lines on what YOU have to offer.

Best Wishes!
