• You are more likely to be financially secure. In your later years, you are more likely to be financially secure, which can give you the freedom to date without having to worry about money.
• You have more time. Retirement can give you the opportunity to spend more time dating and getting to know new people.
• You can appreciate the simple things. As you get older, you learn to appreciate the simple things in life, and this can make dating more enjoyable.
• You can have fun. Dating is supposed to be fun, and there is no reason why this should change as you get older.

• You may have to deal with emotional baggage. Everyone has emotional baggage, but it can be more difficult to deal with as you get older.
