When creating a dating post on Widow / Widower Dating, it is important to include information about yourself that will help potential matches get to know you. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Your appearance. While it is not necessary to include a photo of yourself, it can be helpful to catch the attention of potential matches. You can also give a general idea of what you look like by describing your height, build, and hair color.
Your interests. What do you like to do in your free time? Do you enjoy traveling, reading, or spending time outdoors? Sharing your interests will help potential matches find common ground with you.
Your lifestyle. Are you retired? Do you have children or grandchildren? Sharing your lifestyle will help potential matches understand your current situation and what you are looking for in a partner.
Your personality. What are you like as a person? Are you outgoing, introverted, or somewhere in between? Sharing your personality will help potential matches get to know you on a deeper level.
Your values. What is important to you in a relationship? Are you looking for someone to share your interests with, or are you looking for a deeper connection? Sharing your values will help potential matches understand what you are looking for in a partner.
Here are a few sample dating post ideas:
Sample 1:

No matter what you choose to include in your dating post, be sure to be honest and genuine. Potential matches will be able to tell if you are being yourself, and they will appreciate it. And, don’t forget that if you find it difficult to create your own original dating post you can always copy and paste someone else’s post and change the answers.
