Best sites for seniors
Getting started if you've never dated online
- Pick one site and use it on a computer or tablet if you find a phone too small.
- Ask a family member or friend to help you take two or three good, recent photos.
- Write a few honest lines about what you enjoy and what you're hoping for, whether that's a travel companion, a dinner partner or something more.
- Browse for free before paying, and choose a short plan first.
Meeting people offline
Many seniors prefer meeting people face to face. Senior centers and active-adult communities run clubs, dances, classes and outings. Volunteering, faith communities, golf leagues and continuing-education classes are good places to meet people too. See senior dating in Las Vegas and senior dating in Reno for local ideas.
Staying safe
- Never send money, gift cards or crypto to someone you haven't met. No exceptions.
- Be wary of anyone who can't video chat or keeps postponing meeting.
- Meet in public, in the daytime, and tell a friend or family member where you'll be.
- Keep your finances private until you know someone well.
