Senior singles who know where you're coming from
Dating again later in life is nothing like dating at 25, and it shouldn't have to feel like it. Perhaps you lost a partner after many years together, or a divorce came late. Whatever brought you here, you'll find plenty of people who've been through the same, and nobody expects you to know how online dating works on your first day.
Our members are mostly in their late fifties, sixties and seventies, and the over-65s are the largest single group. Some want a lasting relationship. Some want companionship: a regular lunch, a walking partner, someone for the theatre. Some just want to find out whether they're ready. All of it is welcome here, and saying which you are on your profile helps the right people find you.
Senior dating that feels made for you
The big dating apps were designed for twenty-somethings swiping on a train. Silver Senior Dating was built for older singles who would rather read a proper profile, set the age range they actually want and take their time over a first message. You choose who you see by age, distance and what they want, and the site suggests new matches each day.
It's a calmer place than the mass-market apps. The people here chose a senior dating site on purpose, and they're happy to chat for a while before suggesting a coffee.

Australia is our biggest community by a distance, with most members in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. The USA and the UK come next, followed by South Africa, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland. Search by distance and you'll see the people who live near you.
