If you’re a mature person looking for love, there is more choice than ever before when it comes to how and where to meet people. In later life we tend to have a firmer sense of our identity and interests, and with a history of past relationships to draw on, we know exactly what we want from a potential partner. Good news: when you’re older, dating online can be more straightforward than when you’re a twentysomething. The takeaway message? British baby boomers are still feeling pretty loved-up. Knowing where to start with senior dating is all-important, especially for those who have recently come out of a long-term marriage or relationship.Ī release from the Office for National Statistics on marriage rates in England and Wales revealed that, in 2019, the age group 60 to 64 was one of only two to show an increase.
But the evidence shows that, on senior dating sites, over-60s are increasingly finding love, the like-minded partner or the company they seek. As we get older, dating online may become something we think is best left to younger generations.
