Top 5 Dating Apps For Women over 50

If you’re dating in your 50s, you know that it can be complicated. Sometimes, you might feel like you’ve been out of the game for too long to even know how to play. And that insecurity can make you feel like giving up on a new relationship before you even really gave it a chance.

Subscribing to a dating site or app might be a solution. It can be daunting at first, and the odds are you won’t meet your perfect partner right away. Ultimately, it’s a great way to practising your dating skills.

Dating apps for adults 50+

Whether you’re looking for a new relationship, someone for a fun date, or someone to simply chat with, we’ve got the ultimate list of dating platforms that are aimed at singles over 50.

OurTime

Available as an app and accessible from a laptop, it encourages users to search for pen-pals, friends, dates, long-term relationships and marriage partners. After creating an account, you fill out a form with personal information. You can then look for someone who shares your interests. You’ll have the option of sending private messages to other users and meeting people in your area. The free-to-download app lets you send emails, flirt, and match with potential partners, while a premium subscription ($38 per month) allows some additional features (like the ability to see who has liked your profile, sending virtual gifts, or having a profile boosted in searches to make it easier to find).

SilverSingles

Considered one of the best senior citizen dating apps in the United States, SilverSingles has over 50,000 new sign-ups a week and is able to match around 2000 couples on a monthly basis. With this platform, users have to answer a personality quiz and then receive three to five hand-selected matches a day. There’s also a downloadable app if you prefer to browse on your smartphone and a desktop option. Silver Singles requires a membership after the trial period ends. Packages start at $24.95 per month for a 12-month period. Bonus: It has an international reach, with users in Europe, Australia, USA and Canada.

eHarmony

A solid dating website for people from all walks of life. More than two million people have found love through eHarmony, which proudly claims it’s certified as the ‘No.1 trusted dating site’. You can register for free by entering some personal data and uploading a picture. A compatibility matching system helps narrow the field to match you with a select group who might be right for you. Basic membership is free, but you’ll need to sign up to a premium package for unlimited access to matched profiles and customised messages. Subscription starting from £44.95 for one month.

Elite Singles

EliteSingles is an international dating platform, operating with partners in over 25 countries worldwide and helping 2500 singles find love each month through its online dating site.

Its commitment to creating a safe and secure online dating environment, protecting its members’ personal information and ensuring a pleasant dating experience has received positive feedback in a comprehensive in-depth review by onlineforlove.com.

According to Newsweek, it’s for serious and confident singles who are ambitious and are mostly into culture, the environment, politics, and more. Per their site, 70% of their members have at least a bachelor’s degree and are well-established professionals who are successful in their careers and are now looking for a partner to share that success with. The site offers up an intelligent online dating approach that suggests three to seven highly suitable matches based on your relationship preferences, education, location, and personality. Choose from one of three membership plans: $59.95 for one month, six months for $44.95 per month, or 12 months for $31.95 per month.

Senior Match

This one has been around for almost 20 years and is consistently rated one of the top mature dating sites in the USA. Strictly for seniors, the site does not let anyone younger than 45 join the site to ensure that all of the members are of a specific age group. It isn’t limited to dating, offering the ability to seek other forms of connection and companionship. The free membership allows you 50 “winks” per day to express your interest in them, but you won’t be able to message them. Being able to initiate conversations is something reserved for premium members.
