Separation is a tough experience that majorly impacts one’s belief in companionship. However, with growing awareness, people are embracing love in their 30s or 40s! Dating at a mature age is no longer the taboo that it used to be; much is to be desired in terms of growth but we are certainly better than before! As a separated man or separated woman, dating can be daunting at first. But you can find great companionship - filled with meaningful conversations and genuine support.
Begin Again has compiled some profile ideas for you to make this possible! Have you checked all of these? If not, hurry up and update your profile.

1. Answer the questions truthfully
   The questions about your choices in food, drinks, etc should be answered honestly. These might seem like surface-level information but they can be important to some separated individuals. Imagine a match who loved your profile as a whole, but needed to know if you were staunchly against drinking - as that would make them uncomfortable.
   They would rather not send a request than be uncertain about your choice. Give complete information to find a true relationship after separation.
   


2. Don’t skip important information like height, and astrological signs
   Though it is a small part of one’s being, the information regarding your build and astrological sign might add a quirk to your profile. Other separated and mature singles want to ensure compatibility and it’s a lot of fun to guess our match’s compatibility with us! Astrological signs can even be great conversation starters.
   To keep a breezy conversation, these tidbits of your life are extremely useful.
   


3. Put some thought into the “About Me” section
   Your bio would be a direct insight into your real life! Don’t just leave it at “I like XYZ”, make an effort to create an impression. Include some light humor. Write an engaging paragraph that makes a person curious. After all, a curious person would want to know more and you’d have a chance of talking with a match that way!
   Leaving it blank would be a bad choice in this matter, but leaving it bland is no good either. Try to take some help from Google or simply write a genuine bio from your heart. Separated adults on Begin Again appreciate honesty and want true relationships. Show them the best of you!
   


4. Be completely honest about your relationship status/past experience
   Your profile’s past relationship status plays a key role when you date as a separated person. You must maintain honesty about being separated and if you’re a parent. The potential matches would hate to find it out later and some of them might see it as a deal breaker if you aren’t totally honest about your status.
   Regarding privacy and safety of your relationship status, Begin Again is a secured platform with curated users. We will ensure that your personal data and information aren’t being used maliciously. So, be yourself!
   


5. Upload interesting and appropriate images
   Most importantly, your images need to be attractive! By that we mean - properly cropped images with a focus on you. You can also add some quirky pictures like your pets, favorite destination, etc, but steer clear of vague quotes and stock images.
   A separated person can find a true love connection again. This just depends on the effort you take with your dating profile. First impressions are certainly not the last ones. But they do make an important impact on Begin Again dating app!
