Dating sites aimed at the 50+ demographic are redefining the concept of “sunset years.” Today’s seniors are more active, adventurous, and open-minded than previous generations when it comes to romance.
Sites like OurTime in the USA allow singles to search for travel partners as readily as long-term companions.

Thousands of seniors have found new love and companionship through online dating. 76-year-old Pat connected with her 81-year-old beau Richard on Match.com. Within a year, Richard sold his home to move in with Pat!
“We laugh all the time,” Pat says. “Finding love again is a blessing.”
And the numbers verify the anecdotes. A Stanford study found that seniors who date enjoy improved cognitive function and self-confidence compared to their uncoupled peers.
