You may think that it’s impossible to find love when you are 60 years old or older. This is an age demographic that is often left out in the dating world, and more so when it comes to online dating.

After all, you may wonder who would want to date you – someone who is from the wrong generation and was born before cellphones and the internet existed?

Honestly, though, you can still find love at 60. You aren’t too old for a romantic adventure.

You just need to know where to look for your romantic partner, and you need to be open-minded to the possibility of finding love.

If you are ready to go searching for love at 60, I’ve got a comprehensive guide with everything you need to know.  

Reasons Why You Can Trust Krystyna

Why Is Dating at 60 So Challenging?

A study from the University of Bath, which is located in the United Kingdom, found that if you are 60 and older, your chance (or odds) of finding love is 1 in 562. That is, if you are waiting for the universe or fate to send you love. If you take a proactive approach to love and romance, you most definitely have a shot at meeting “the one” (or “the next one”).

When you are 60 (or older), chances are high that you’ve loved and lost a love or two – whether through divorce, parting of ways, or death. You are single and not a spring chicken anymore.

Finding love and dating is not easy, and it seems so much more challenging when you are older:

So yes, romantic love at 60 and beyond can be a challenge but it is possible – if you put yourself out there. You may find love, or it may find you. You just need to look for it and be open to the possibility.

Can I Find a Match If I Am Over 60?

You can find a match even if you are a senior citizen. There is, after all, no age limit on love.

There’s a high possibility that you know what you are looking for; so you just need to find it. You can find love at one of the places where you go bowling, painting, or hiking; you can even find your soulmate at the local park, the religious institution of your choice, or when you go on vacation.

The other option, of course, is online dating.

Technology may seem very intimidating, but most online dating sites are user-friendly. You don’t need a special degree or to keep asking your kids or grandkids to help you out. Plus, you can watch some YouTube videos or read guides on how to sign up, set up your dating profile, and find who you are looking for.

While you can use the search parameters on the online dating site (you choose aspects like age, gender, geographical location, physical attributes, and more), some dating sites automatically send you a list of highly compatible matches.

So you see, a love match is very possible!
