If you’re just starting back in the dating scene or are not pleased with the dating site that you’re already on, no worries. Happily, there are plenty of reputable online dating sites for women over 50. Here’s the scoop to help you narrow down your choices and find the ones that are right for you.
Disclosure: If you’re ready to date again, I’m so happy for you! This post isn’t to tell you to get back in the dating game right now but to give you the information you need to start a new dating journey if you’re thinking about starting one. Additionally, never send money to a member of an online dating site, and never share your password or account information with anyone. And lastly, when you sign up for an online dating account, make sure to state what kind of relationship you’re looking for from the get-go so you both have realistic expectations.
At this point in my life, I’m happy to say that I found my soulmate many years ago and am not in the dating game. Having written that, I have plenty of friends my age and older, so doing all the research on the best free online dating sites is kind of a gift to them. I want them to be the happiest they can be, live their lives to the fullest, and find their soulmates just like I found mine.
Silver Singles
Honestly, I love the title of this online dating site. Silver Singles has 40% of its members over the age of 50, so it really caters to senior folks. And with 381,000 new members signing up each month, you’ve got plenty of profiles to choose from.
With the goal of finding a “thoughtful, interesting partner,” Silver Singles have a single thing in common: they want to date someone over 50. When you sign up for an account, you’ll begin with a personality test, so answer the questions honestly. Matches given are based on: location in the USA, lifestyle plans and relationship goals, and on personality.
Good news: it’s free to register for the Basic membership and personality test. The free package also lets you set up your profile, complete with a photo, and have limited communication with other members. This way, you don’t have to pay a monthly charge unless you want to access the extra features.
DateMyAge.Com
Created for singles over the age of 45, Date My Age was founded on the concept of bringing singles together and helping them begin new and meaningful relationships. You’ll be able to find singles from all over the world; you can adjust the age range of people you’re looking for when you create an account.
To qualify as a free member, you will have to do some work on your account that includes adding the following:
- Photos
- Videos
- A profile description
- You’ll also need to stay active on the platform, so don’t make your account stagnant.
- Senior Match
eharmony
eharmony has been around since 2000, making it one of the OG online dating sites. Its mantra is that it’s “passionate about creating real love for all” and, honestly, is one of the biggest online dating sites to date.
When you sign up for an account, you’ll be asked to complete a compatibility test to determine just who’s right for you based on your answers.
The cost is free for a basic membership that includes the ability to review any matches you receive and filter your match preferences. You’ll also be able to check out primary profile information with your unlimited matches, send and receive small interactions like smiles and icebreakers, and respond to first messages. A cool feature is you can browse anonymously and check out who’s also looked at your profile.
OurTime
Another online dating site that gets high ratings is OurTime. Created for folks over the age of 50, it highlights the fact that what we want when we’re 20 or 30 is way different from what we want at our current age. Focusing on the specific interests and desires of the daters, it highlights matches based on similarities.
With an easy two-minute signup, you can start browsing other singles once you’ve finished setting up your profile. Additionally, you can link your account to a free mobile app that works on both Apple and Android devices.
There is a catch, however: it’s totally free to browse member photos, but you’ll have to pay a monthly fee if you want to communicate with them via the site.
Christian Mingle
Another popular online dating site is Christian Mingle. With over 60,000 signups per month, there’s plenty of fish in this proverbial online dating sea. If you’re looking for a God-centered relationship, this is the place to start.
With “robust profiles” and personalization features, the site allows users to really narrow down what they’re looking for in a partner. As in most online dating sites, creating a profile is free, but if you want to access communication features, you will have to pay a monthly fee.
