Dating over 50

Dating Site for Over 50s

Dating isn't just for the young. More people over 50 than ever are looking for love, friendship and companionship, and many are finding it online. Here's what makes dating later in life different, and a few simple ways to make the most of it.

  1. Your experience is a strength

    By now you know yourself well: what makes you happy, what you won't put up with and what really matters. That makes it easier to spot a good match and to trust your instincts.

  2. Know what you're looking for

    Priorities often change with age. For many people, companionship, shared interests and a real connection matter more than marriage or starting a family. Being clear about what you want helps you find someone who wants the same.

  3. Let technology help

    Online dating makes it easy to meet people you would never bump into otherwise, especially if you're busy or live somewhere quiet. Keep a few simple online safety tips in mind and enjoy it.

  4. Be yourself

    Honesty goes a long way. Use recent photos, describe yourself as you really are and say what you're hoping for. Our guide to writing a dating profile over 60 shows you how.

  5. Talk openly

    Be clear about what you want, what you don't and where your boundaries are. When the time feels right, sharing a little about your past, including the harder parts, helps you understand each other.

  6. Widen your social circle

    Clubs, classes and groups built around your interests are a lovely way to meet like-minded people, whether that's walking, a book club or ballroom dancing.

  7. Don't take rejection personally

    Not every connection turns into something lasting, and that's normal at any age. A date that doesn't work out says nothing about your worth; it's simply part of finding the right person.

  8. Take your time

    There's no need to rush. Real compatibility takes time to show itself, so enjoy getting to know someone at a pace that suits you both.

Dating Over 50

Turning 50 doesn't mean your dating life is over; it can be the start of an exciting new chapter. Many members are professionals, retirees, grandparents or simply active people looking to share life with someone special. Dating over 50 is often more relaxed, because people know what they're looking for.

Friendship as Well as Romance

Not everyone joins a dating site purely for romance. Many people want someone to chat with, travel with or share hobbies with. OAP Dating welcomes members looking for companionship as well as lasting love, in a friendly and respectful community.

Safe Online Dating for Seniors

Take your time getting to know someone through messages before you meet. When you do, choose a public place and tell a friend or family member where you're going. Our online safety guide has more tips.
