Finding love over 40 50 60 and beyond…
Thank you so much for your interest in finding love in your latter years. I received an overwhelming response to my post about how I met my now husband online after years of unsuccessful online dating (see my Instagram post here). As I’ve written many times , it is not for the faint of heart. I was online four years before I met my husband, and even then, it wasn’t easy. I was off and on many different dating sites for the four years mentioned and I would revamp my profile from time to time, but most of all through the years, I revamped myself. So, I posted my story for a reason and hence you are here for a reason.
There is no magic bullet there is no magic pill. I am not making any promises but I’m here to encourage you about the possibilities since you asked. I hope you find this guide helpful. 🙏🏽
All the best on your journey!!
Below, as promised, I am sharing a few of the websites I found that were , in my opinion, better than others along with the one I met my husband on.
Most offer Free Trial options. Drum Roll….
*Tip: Everything good comes at a price, so I suggest staying away from FREE sites if you are seriously looking for a quality relationship.
5. Coffeemeetsbagel.com
Instead of endless swiping, they send you a few thoughtful matches daily. Less overwhelming, more quality.
6. Dating.com
This one’s got singles from all over the world, great if you’re open to long-distance or international romance.
7. Tawkify.com
No swiping here! A real matchmaker picks your dates for you, so it’s great if you’re done with the usual online dating.
Premium Priced Subscriptions with good reviews:
8. Elitesingles.com
If you want to meet other successful, educated people who are serious about relationships, quality over quantity.
9. Itsjustlunch.com
A matchmaking service that arranges casual lunch dates for busy professionals. No endless messaging, just straight to meeting in person.
10. Theleague.com
This one’s for ambitious, career-driven singles. It’s exclusive, and you might have to wait to get in, but it weeds out the unserious ones.
Here are my other Picks:
1. Bumble.com
It’s a dating app where women start the conversation first. Gives us a little more control, more real connections.
2. Match.com
Been around forever! If you’re looking for something serious, this one’s got a solid mix of people our age.
3. Eharmony.com
They make you take a long personality test, but it’s worth it if you want a real, long-term relationship.
4. Silversingles.com
Specifically for people over 50, so you don’t have to sort through a bunch of twenty-somethings.
Here are some links I found online with more reviews to help you decide on a dating site right for you:

ONLINE DATING TIPS 101
1. Do sign up for more than one dating site at a time.
Signing up to two or three sites increases your chances of meeting different types of men. If you’re strapped for cash, pay for your best one and do free trials on the others.-You can cancel at any time.
2. Only go on coffee dates when you are meeting a potential match.
ALWAYS meet in a public place with people around and ALWAYS let someone know you are meeting them. Note: A coffee date is a good way to cut it short if there’s no chemistry or plan your next meeting if there is chemistry.
3. Trust your gut and instincts.
Don’t let your guard down because of good looks and good photos.
There are indeed a lot of scammers out there as we well know.
4. Getting ‘Ghosted” is a normal occurrence with online dating.
5. If you haven’t already, you much watch the Netflix Series “Tinder Swindler”
to learn how to pick up warning signs from these scammers who know women are looking for men with money. You’ll thank me later!
