While the dating app is not specifically geared toward seniors, it’s unbeatable when it comes to sheer numbers. Everyone and their hot mom is on Tinder, as the app boasts over 50 million users. Silver Singles, like OurTime, is targeted at daters aged 50 and up. You pay a lump sum of $25 for 12 months, $35 for six months, or $45 for three months. All the features that you need to connect properly with someone need to be paid for, but you can sign up for free at first to have a look around and decide if you want to continue to a subscription. A fun perk of OurTime is that they arrange events and mixers, such as cookery classes for singles in bigger cities, so you can go and meet a few people at once to see if the spark is there.

When you fill out a profile on one of these sites, it can be extremely detailed. These sites will often ask you to list the city you live in, your date of birth, marital status, gender, and even more detailed information, such as if you own pets or have children. It may seem rather invasive, but it helps the site match you with people in your area and help you narrow down criteria in member searches. Match.com, eHarmony, Lavalife and Zoosk all have mobile dating apps for your Smartphone.

If the person says that they are under 18, then you should break off contact. Do not be tempted into flirting; this can be construed as an attempt at solicitation, and the solicitation of a minor is a serious crime in California. A conviction can result in a $5,000 fine, up to a year in jail, and registration as a child sex offender.

Some variations of this scheme are romance/dating scams or the grandparent’s scam. After connecting with someone online, take a look at his or her social accounts.

The presents could be flowers, chocolates, or other small items. The dating site is easy to use whether you’re tech-savvy or old-school. You can check out Zoosk on your phone, tablet, or desktop, and the simple menus make navigation a breeze. Meeting Safety – Always meet in public places, especially for your first date.
