Becoming widowed at the age of sixty set an entire new set of rules into play for one woman; she had been happily married for more than thirty-five years. The mourning process took one to two years and even after that the thought of dating never entered her mind. It wasn’t until a man hit on her at the grocery store that she realized she still had that interest inside of her.

Dating for seniors is a totally different ball game. There aren’t a lot of dance clubs aimed at the senior set. It can be challenging to find new ways to meet people. While there are some senior activity centers, not all seniors feel comfortable there. Some seniors still feel young at heart and don’t want to feel like “hanging with old people”, even though their ages may match, they may feel their mentality doesn’t. 

There are now online dating services that offer seniors a way to connect. The online dating revolution has changed the way that people can meet. You have the option of being connected to thousands of people that you didn’t know existed! There are many different services to choose such as Match.com, Date.com and E-Harmony. 

Takeaways
  • Online dating services cost approximately thirty dollars a month.
  • Online dating services offer free profiles, but charge for the option of communicating.
  • Group activities are one way of meeting other like minded people.
