One of the questions we have heard several times in the context of dating of the over sixties is a question that you might not consider at first. We’ve framed up the question below and some of the responses we’ve heard….we’d love your views too…what do you think?

If you’re looking for over 50′s/ over 60′s friends and the natural friendship extension is dating for the over fifites/ sixties:

- Would you go on holiday with your different sex friend ( and I mean only Friend at this stage).  Think this through in some detail…. what would you do and more importantly how would you feel if He/She was up dancing all night and left you sitting there with your drink. What would happen if you or your friend were to meet someone and one of you were left to walk about for the rest of the holiday alone?

Some answers we’ve heard are…

I’ve been on holiday with my different sex friend (just friend), and we had a great time. Why on earth would there be a problem if one of us fancied someone while on the holiday? That happens whether your holiday companion is same sex or not.

Depends who was paying for the holiday!!

It is down to the context and expectations. As a friend, I’d expect them to be considerate and think about how I felt.

We’d love to hear your views…what would do..have you had that experience…share your experiences here on the blog or in the discussion forums at Senior Dating UK
