A 56-year-old woman asks Karamo how to date safely in her 50s. He recommends using a Google Voice number and requiring a FaceTime call within one day to verify identity before meeting anyone. Genuine partners exist, he says, but patience and diligence matter.
So my question is, what is your take on older dating, 50+ in this new age of social media, dating apps, catfishing, et cetera? 'Cause I'm 56 and single and a little leery to mingle.
So first of all, come on skin, 'cause nowhere did that say 56, okay? You look beautiful.
Thank you.
There is something that's going on, especially with 50+ dating, where there is a lot of catfishing online. And so I'm gonna be real with you. I'm gonna tell you this. First of all, get a Google number. It is a number that is not attached to your real number. So that way you know when someone calls from this, it is for the dating app. I give you that advice because it gives you some type of protection where someone's not gonna be able to find you, do whatever you need. And so I believe that in dating, especially when you're dating in your age range, you gotta be protected. Protect yourself. You're protecting, making sure you're protecting your finances, what you built. So doing small things like that is gonna keep you aligned. Secondly, understand that there are people out there that have the same intentions and desires. But I want you also remember that a lot of them have got set in their ways and they don't wanna go out. They don't know how to get on stuff. They are feeling like, oh my gosh, maybe there's not much scammers out there. So you have to be patient. And that patience is key because I know sometimes, especially when it comes to love and wanting to find connection, we feel like, well, when I was younger it was happening so much quicker and now I feel like, "Well, what's going on? Am I gonna be just scammed? Is something going on?" No, there's somebody who wants what you want. But just as they're gonna be patient to find you, you have to be patient, but also be diligent in that patience. And just know they will be out there for you. But protect yourself along the way. Small things, I'm telling you, get a Google number. I'm telling you, it's gonna work. And little things like that will make sure you know anybody's stalking, all right? Also, a big thing, other thing, you got a day before they need to FaceTime you. We not going 5 weeks talking.
Okay.
No, a day.
A day.
Because I need to confirm who you are is in that photo. Right. One day, all right?
Okay. Good luck.
You gonna find love. Hold on, can we take a moment really quickly? What part of the world are you in? Do you live in the East Coast?
I'm here in Connecticut, yes.
Okay, then you in Connecticut? Yes. Look at everybody at home, she is fly. What are you looking for? Listen, I like to broker love. Let's take a moment, I like to broker love.

So what are we looking for? Are we looking for tall, short?
Tall.

We're dark. We're looking for someone with a certain type of education or not?
Education, job, have his own.
Okay, what does have his own mean?
His own car, his own shelter.
Okay, own shelter. So you're looking for somebody who's not gonna be trying to move in quick with you?
Right, right, right.
Okay then, all right then. Are you ultimately looking for marriage?
That would be nice. Okay, are you okay with— I'm not, go ahead, I'm sorry.
No, finish what you're saying.
That's nice, yeah.
You want marriage? Okay, but it's not a, no, 'cause some people say, Some people say, I already did it, I don't want it again.
No, I've never done it.
So great, so you want someone who's gonna do it.
But I only hesitate 'cause I have friends that are married and when I hear their stories, it's like, uh.
You had the Karamo show, so we understand. We understand, we know what happens in marriages. But no, yours is gonna be healthy, I can already tell. You're asking great questions. But now this is the next question. So are you okay if he has kids that are younger? Do they need to be older? Or are you okay with grandkids? Or are you like, no, we need to be traveling the world?
Well, I prefer older kids 'cause my kids are older, but I do have 6 grands.
Great, so you want somebody whose family unit is big?
Yes, yes.
Listen, we got somebody tall, dark, handsome, got your own stuff. She don't mind your kids if they older and she want grandbabies with you. So listen, hit her up, all right?
Thank you, all right.
I wanna make a love connection for you so bad.
