the same as you do. They want to start having some fun again.

Safety - meeting new
friends or dating over 50
Most people are honest, decent and probably just
as nervous as you are. Of course it can be a bit frightening meeting
new people for the first time. They feel the same, so make a joke
about it.
Remember when you were a shy, spotty teenager going
on your first date? I expect that you told your mum or dad where
you were going and what time you would be back. It is still a
good idea when going on a first date to tell a friend or relative
where you are going and to follow these guidelines...
Over 50 dating tips...
1. If you haven't driven yourself to the pre-arranged
meeting place, take your mobile phone with you and pre-enter a
local taxi telephone number beforehand. Then if you want to make
a quick exit you can ring for a taxi while in the loo to save
any embarrassment. Be kind though - See number 5 below.
2. Meet in a public place, such as
a bar, a restaurant or a cafe. This makes it 
easier
to extract yourself if you feel that you have made a mistake in
meeting someone. If you feel especially nervous or wary, perhaps
you could arrange to have a friend or relative sitting discreetly
in the background. Their opinion may be valuable and you could
always express surprise at meeting them and introduce them to
your date.
3. Don't rush things. It takes a while to get to
know someone, so don't rush in too quickly. Try to establish a
casual friendship before considering romance. This will give you
time to get an idea about the other person's reliability and honesty.
Remember too that the other person is probably also a bit nervous
and cautious, so try not to rush them. Even if you fancy them
like mad as soon as you meet - keep a little cool and let things
develop at their own pace.
4. Check out your date for your own peace of mind.
Get a phone number at home or at work before you meet, if you
can. Give the number to a friend or relative before you go. (Some
people are married and still dating and we cannot weed
them out for you).
5. Be honest (but kind). If you really don't feel
that there is any future in meeting again, gently tell your date,
but thank them for the opportunity of meeting them and wish them
well for the future. You will still have had an outing, some fun
and some dating "practice". We can't all "click"
with everyone. Don't be dishonest and say you will be in touch
if you don't mean it. Kindness costs nothing.
6. Safe sex. (Yes, even the over 50's sometimes
still have sex - despite what our children think). Don't rush
into anything that you are not ready for, but if a relationship
becomes physical, make sure that you practice safe sex by always
using a condom for any penetrative sexual activity. Don't take
any risks with your health. It only takes one occasion with an
infected partner to ruin your life.
7. Be brave. Most people are honest, decent and
nice. The risk of meeting a "bunny boiler" or psychopath
are very slight. Take sensible precautions (see above) then just
get out there and have some FUN! If nothing else, you will have
had an outing, some laughter and hopefully, made a new friend.
