The dating world today is very different to the one you may remember decades ago. Through divorce or bereavement, you may find yourself looking for love or a platonic companion in later life. While you could join a local sports club to meet new people, you may not always find like-minded people that are looking for love. If you’re looking at taking the plunge there are many online dating sites for seniors. It may be a very different experience to the first time around, but you’re sure to find your special someone nonetheless. See our guide to dating for seniors here;
