Ryan is right, and I would add one thing. if whether it leads anywhere is not sorted, plus dating will not go anywhere.

Three things that changed plus dating for me:

  • read the whole profile before you send anything at least where plus dating is concerned
  • commit a couple of weekends before deciding anything about plus dating
  • log in at different times of day, not just evenings at least where plus dating is concerned
  • set aside a solid month before deciding anything about plus dating

The honest tradeoff with plus dating is how many accounts are active against convenience.

I would put whether people actually reply above almost everything else when it comes to plus dating. Most of the frustration with plus dating traces back to how it feels to use.

My experience with plus dating shifted completely once I paid attention to the signal-to-noise ratio. Once I stopped worrying about how many accounts are active, plus dating got a lot simpler.

Anyway, that's my read on 60 plus dating more about companionship or romance.
