The challenge: finding other senior singles can be tricky

In life there can be times when it is more of a challenge to meet a companion. And for senior singles, this can be as true as for anyone else. Whether you’re wanting to partake in mature local dating, or looking for the best over 50 dating services, we understand that it can tricky to find the right platform or place to meet fun, fabulous and fifty plus singles.

Either the people you know are already in a long-term relationship, or perhaps in a different life stage or not looking for a partner. So if you’re joining the world of senior dating, where are the best places to go to discover where seniors meeting seniors are spending their time? Let us help you get back out there and meet someone amazing.

EliteSingles’ sensible solutions for meeting senior singles

Older singles still want to have a great time and live life to the fullest. One of the best ways to meet exciting and interesting senior singles, who could be a potential partner, is to put yourself out there and discover new and different experiences. Here’s EliteSingles’ list of sensible solutions for meeting senior singles who also want to meet you!

Volunteer – meet the nice guy, or girl

Volunteering at a charity or organization is a positive approach to meet people who share similar interests and values as yourself. A practical way to step into this new activity is to firstly identify a cause you are interested in supporting. For example, this could be an animal charity, a soup kitchen, a gardening society, or an educational facility. Senior singles often have a little bit more flexibility with their time and can get involved in activities that they may not have had time for when they were working all day. Google local organizations within your scope of interest and contact them to see if there is an opportunity to become involved.

This is a wonderful way to expose yourself to a new circle of people and activities, while at the same time partaking in a valuable activity contributing to a worthwhile cause. Give yourself a feel-good confidence boost while putting yourself out there to meet an interesting new partner!

Join a club – find shared interests

Perhaps you’re more into certain hobbies or sports already and would like to pursue those further. Shared interests are a helpful starting point for a new relationship, and a great way to connect with senior singles. You could look in the local newspaper for advertised clubs, or in the classified listings. Alternatively thanks to technology today, it’s easy to Google your hobby and area to see what clubs are accessible.

If you’re into tennis or maybe sewing, hiking or even reading, there’re many different kinds of clubs available. Meet-up is also a useful platform and features a plethora of groups which get together to enjoy an activity. Here you can look for a group of older singles specifically, or join a group that you’re interested in and see who is around that grabs your attention!

Travel – explore more

One of the best ways to put yourself out there and meet new senior singles is traveling. Meeting someone on a trip has a certain romance to it, and it probably gives you some comfort in knowing that you both enjoy traveling and picked the same place to go – already a mutual interest! There are different ways to go about this.

You can go ahead and plan your own itinerary and route, or choose to go on a guided tour. If you’re traveling solo, going on a tour is a fun way to meet people and takes away most of the planning stress. From doing a day trip to a local attraction to a 2-week cruise, there are a wide range of different packages to fit your budget and location available. Research where you want to go and what kind of trip suits you to plan the perfect package!

Senior dating sites– better than all the rest

Although there are many practical and possible ways to meet other senior singles in real life, one of the best ways to meet a match today is with an online dating site. The over 50s age group is one of the quickest growing demographics choosing dating websites as their preferred place to get back into dating. With a site like EliteSingles, online dating can provide all the variables on one platform – shared interests, similar relationship goals, location and someone you know is also looking to meet a new partner!

By joining a renowned over 50 dating site, you situate yourself in the heart of the right environment – other senior singles wanting to meet someone special. It also puts you in the driving seat in terms of stating your preferences, putting yourself out there and opens you up to a whole new world.

With EliteSingles, taking the leap is as easy as a simple 3 step registration. Using psychological research, our personality test gives us the insights we need to know what’s important to you and who you’re looking for. Using intelligent matchmaking technology, you will then be sent daily matches, and can also seek out additional profiles on the site if you want to take a more active role. The convenience of online dating is that you don’t even have to leave your own home to get the conversation started. EliteSingles is available on a desktop version and mobile dating app, making it the most convenient way to connect with classy senior singles today.
