The fact that many people in this age bracket have been in previous relationships notwithstanding, they still get weak in the knees when asking someone for a first date. This article aims to provide male and female baby boomers with tips on how to ask for that seemingly impossible first date.

Find out if they are Available

A good number of baby boomers are either engaged, in relationships or are happily married with or without kids. It would be folly to date someone in any of the above relationships. Therefore the first step is to find out the relationship status of the baby boomer you are interested in.

Does he/she like you?

Before you memorize your best pick up lines, take a minute or two and ask yourself if the object of your desire even likes you. If you are not in their radar then asking for a date will only lead to one outcome. In order to avoid the heartache that comes with rejection, it is important to find out if the other person likes you first.

Drop hints

This is probably the best way to ask a baby boomer for a date without risking rejection. Hints could come in the form of an invitation to spend the time going for a walk or bike ride. Or in form of going to a show/game/movie together.

Be generous with compliments

What better way to express your interest in a baby boomer than by appealing to their ego? Compliments can range from the clothes they wear, their smile and many more things. You have to be creative.

Timing is everything

Choosing the right moment to pop that question could mean everything. Wait until you can talk to the other person in private. Many people consider first time dates a private affair. It therefore will not help your cause if you blurt out the question in front of a crowd.
