Finding love for the more mature person can be as tricky as it is for young people. It can have the same passions, excitement and traumas that marked the earlier sessions. To find a comfortable soul mate in later years is a quest embarked on by many, as is testified by the vast number of dating sites around. It can turn out well, it can turn out badly, it can be yet another journey that you may wish to take part in.

It can be tricky

When it comes to love it seems we are at the mercy of out biochemistry. It has been suggested that there are three stages of falling in love; lust, attraction and attachment. All these stages are driven by chemicals such as Dopamine, Norepinephrine. Serotonine, Oxytocin and Vasopressin. Wonderful names for wonderful feelings. But sadly, as many of us know it does not always work out so well. There can be wrong directions at all these stages, but it is as well to be aware that these things are around.

You may believe in the physical attraction idea, the chemistry between people and certainly when you look around there are people you find more attractive than others. I t has also been suggested that we are drawn to someone who shares the same interests as we do. It is said that we carry with us a psychological blueprint holding details about our life experiences and marks they’ve left. It contains information we haven’t acknowledged about our fears and anxieties and our coping mechanisms and defences. Each of us has and unconscious capacity to scan another persons blueprint to people we’re most attracted to and those who have a blueprint that complements our own. We are looking for similarities of experience but more significantly looking for differences.

If you feel you have reached a stage where you would really like to go out there and try to find someone then there are many introduction agencies, dating agencies and clubs that bring people together specifically designed to meet this need. Have a think about yourself and what you need and then have a search to find a way that might help you in your quest.
