Later-life love, made warm and simple

Over 60s dating in the US

Single and over 60? You are far from alone

Being single later in life is more common in America than most people realize. Census figures put the number of adults 65 and older at well over 55 million, and a large share of them are divorced, widowed or never married and open to meeting someone new (US Census Bureau). Dating after 60 is not a niche pursuit for a lucky few. It is something hundreds of thousands of people are doing right now, quietly and happily, all across the country.

60 Singles is dating for the over 60s and nobody younger. Everyone here is at a similar place in life, which makes the whole thing feel more relaxed. There is no need to explain grown children, grandkids, a career you have wound down, or years spent married before. The person reading your profile has lived a full life too, and gets it.

A calmer alternative to the big dating apps

The mainstream apps are fast, crowded and aimed squarely at people in their twenties and thirties. This is the unhurried opposite. Read a few profiles, take your time, and reach out only when you feel ready. Nobody is rushing you, and there is no endless swiping to wade through.

Our members come from every part of the country, from New York and Florida to Texas, California and the Midwest, so there are like-minded people over 60 within reach wherever you call home. If you are comparing your options, our straight-talking rundown of dating sites for seniors over 60 is a good place to get your bearings.

What you can do on 60 Singles

Setting up a profile is free and takes just a couple of minutes. A free account lets you add a photo, browse the community and start to see who is out there. When you want more, a paid membership unlocks unlimited photos and messaging, plus private chat groups and interest groups organized around what you love, whether that is travel, cooking, hiking, movies or music. For plenty of our members those groups are where it all begins, with easy conversation that grows into friendship and often something more. Everything that is included is laid out on our membership and pricing page.

Move at your own pace

There is no correct speed here. Some people jump right in, others prefer to look around for a while first, and both are completely fine. If it has been years, or you are newly on your own, our guides to online dating over 60 and finding companionship later in life walk you through it in plain, friendly language. Whenever you are ready, we will be here.

Take a look and see who is nearby. Creating a profile costs nothing, and you can leave the harder questions blank until you feel like answering them.
