How do I make myself seem interesting, if I join a dating site?

Since being single for a year, and a few years before the divorce, I lost hope and became a recluse...more like a semi-recluse because I had to shop for food, and go to medical appointments.

This last year, losing so much in my life, I was severely depressed, and wanted to be alone, despite feeling very lonely. So if I want to start dating now (and I'm still reluctant and unsure that I do), how do I make myself worth knowing when I've been living like a hermit for a while?

I want to be authentic, but I don't think "older reclusive female, suffering from depression, but would like to meet friends for shared interests," is going to cut it. Oh yeah, last date was more than 27-years ago. 😏

My advice to you is to stay away from the free dating sites. If you are wanting to try it, go with a paid site. My stint on a free site was short, but memorable. I'll never do it again.

As for your profile, be honest. Post current pictures and tell a little about yourself, but not too much. You want them to want to know more about you.

Good luck with it Darlin!!
