You can find relationships with other seniors online regardless of where you reside. Kevin Darné, author of “Online Dating: Avoid the Catfish!: How to Date Online Successfully,” advises anyone who hasn’t dated in a while to “clearly decide what their dating goals are and do some study before plunging into online dating.” You should also think about which senior dating sites to join. “In addition to the major well-known online dating sites and apps, there are a broad selection of specialty online dating sites and apps these days,” Darné explains.
The best dating websites and apps for seniors are:
- Match.
- eHarmony.
- Senior Friends Date.
- So Syncd.
- Silver Singles.
- Singles50.
- EliteSingles.
- Zoosk.
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect from each senior dating service in terms of cost, senior features, and other benefits.
