Love doesn’t stop at a certain age. Just like happiness, ambition, and curiosity, it matures as it grows. Like a fine wine that definitely gets better with age, finding companionship and love with over 70s dating is simply exquisite…
So when it comes to online dating, where do you get started? There are lots of online dating sites for seniors over 70, but which one should you choose? The perfect dating site for older singles should be easy-to-use, safe, and understand the wants and needs of the senior dating scene. There’s no use joining a dating site that is hard to use and is too broad to find you the right matches.
Let’s look at some of the most important features you should be looking out for before you jump back into the dating pool.
Safety and security
Staying safe online is probably one of the biggest priorities for singles over 70. Online dating has become huge in the past few years – especially for senior dating. The PEW research centre reported that the amount of over 55+ year-olds using dating websites has doubled in the past five years alone. Unfortunately, dishonest intentions can be a problem online. This is why safety and security should be a key feature for dating sites for seniors over 70 when you’re thinking of joining one.
SilverSingles has produced an entire guide to staying safe online for our members. Safety is our main priority so our members can relax and concentrate on finding love without worry. SilverSingles verifies each and every profile created on our site. So you know when you’ve been messaged by someone, that person has been checked, and the majority of rogue accounts will have been removed.
Ease-of-use and accessibility
A simple sign-up system and easy to understand design sounds like common sense, right? Yet, sometimes online dating sites can get a tad complex. When you’re looking for over 70s dating, the last thing you want is a confusing sign-up process. Ideally, the best dating sites for seniors over 70s will:
- Explain their sign-up process in detail
- Have useful tips to improve your dating profile and finding matches
- Clear cost information
- Helpful customer service
SilverSingles was designed to be easy-to-use no matter how technologically savvy you are.

Understanding the senior lifestyle
Online dating caters for everyone. There are websites that are ‘catch-all’ sites that give you the ability to filter by age, sex, hobbies and lifestyles but everyone is welcome to join. Then there are niche dating sites that let you filter just the same, except you’re filtering within a niche category. The best dating sites for seniors over 70s only cater to people interested in senior dating; this leaves out anybody not interested in dating above or below a certain age group. It also means the site has been designed especially for you!
SilverSingles caters to anybody over 50 interested in finding love, companionship and fun! This means that you’ll only find eligible and interested singles over 50, over 60, over 70 and over 80, so you don’t have to put any work in!
High-quality matches
So, you found a niche dating site that caters for over 70s singles, but how do you know you’ll find quality matches? Most dating sites for seniors over 70 let users do the searching and it involves time and effort to find someone you would like to get to know better.
SilverSingles uses a specifically designed personality questionnaire that uses the Five Factor Model of personality profiling. This looks at your values, interests, as well as any criteria you’d like to add. The whole process takes from 15 to 30 minutes, and afterwards we’ll be able to send you brilliant and well-suited matches. This means you don’t have to do any of the searching, you just have to think of a good opening line to say to your matches!
So, now you know what features are crucial to be successful on dating sites for seniors over 70, what are you waiting for? Sign up for SilverSingles today.
