3 Online Dating Tips For Older Adults

Sarah Jacobson 3 min read

Just because you’re not young anymore doesn’t mean that you can’t or shouldn’t be out looking for love and companionship. Regardless of your age or position in life, everyone deserves to feel love and to give themselves a chance to find friends or potential partners that they can spend their life with. And for many older people, one of the best ways to do this is to consider online dating. So if you’re ready to quit only looking for love in the halls of your assisted living facility or at the community center you frequent, here are three online dating tips for older adults.

Stick To Just One Online Dating Platform

To help people find love and companionship, there are all kinds of websites and apps available for people to use for dating. And while you might want to have the odds in your favor by trying any and all of these options, for many older adults, it’s going to be better to just stick to one online dating platform.

Especially for those who don’t feel like they want to spend a lot of time switching between different apps and learning how they work, it can make the most practical sense to just use one app. Along with this, it will likely be easier and more convenient for you to keep track of everything from just one app or website.

Let Your Personality Shine

Once you’ve decided which online platform you want to use for online dating, you then have to figure out how to set up your profile so that you can start meeting new people online.

When you’re going about this part of online dating, the best thing that you can do is to let your personality shine through your profile as well as you can. You want to find someone who’s interested in you for exactly who you are, not who you’re pretending to be on your online dating profile. So to best find a good match for you, make sure you’re honest about yourself and your personality when setting up your dating profile.

Be On Alert For Scams

While many other older adults are on these online dating platforms trying to find companionship and love, there are also people out there who are looking to take advantage of older adults who might be vulnerable to their scams. So to avoid this, you’ll want to always be alert for scams that might seek you out.

Some signs that someone is trying to scam you as opposed to looking for a genuine connection are that they repeatedly avoid video chatting with you or meeting you in person, that they solicit financial gifts or information from you, or that they seem to want to move your relationship too quickly. If you notice any of these things, be very careful or consider cutting off communication.

If you’re an older adult that wants to start online dating, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you get started.
