What people look for
You don’t have to want “a relationship”
People searching for senior widow dating or for widowers over 60 are not all after the same thing, and they shouldn’t have to be. Here are some of the reasons members join.
Company
Someone to share dinner, a walk or a day out with.
A companion for travel
Someone to enjoy trips and new places with.
A partner
A new relationship, taken slowly, when it feels right.
Someone who understands
A friendly ear who knows what the quiet evenings are like.
Plain and simple
You don’t need to be a technology person
If you haven’t used a dating site before, you’re in good company. The steps are short: make a profile, look at the suggestions, and send a message when you’d like to. You can do it all on a phone, a tablet or a computer.
A few tips that help:
- Use a clear, recent photo of your face, taken in daylight
- Write a few simple lines about what you enjoy
- Take your time. Nobody is waiting on a reply
- Keep your phone number and address private until you trust someone
If something doesn’t work, there’s always the safety page for advice and the help link in the footer to ask us.
Staying safe
Be a little wary of anyone in a hurry
We say this out loud because it matters: widows and widowers are often targeted by people who pretend to fall in love quickly and then ask for money. Real people don’t need your money, your bank details or your gift card numbers.
If someone moves too fast, talks about love within days, or has a sudden crisis that needs cash, stop and talk to a friend or family member. Our safety page lists the common signs, and free ID verification lets you show that you’re real.
The simple rule.
Never send money to someone you haven’t met in person, however kind they seem. You can always say no, and you can always block.
