Divorce later in life can feel daunting, but it is also a chance to begin a new chapter. Many people in their 50s and 60s find that they know themselves much better and want something genuine this time round.

Getting ready

Give yourself time: there is no rule about when to start dating again. Begin when you feel ready.
Know what you want: a long-term partner, a companion or friendship. Say so in your profile.
Keep your profile positive: talk about what you enjoy and look forward to rather than the past.

Choosing the right app

Pick an app where most members are over 50 and looking for a serious relationship. Check that it has profile checks and a way to report problems, and try the free version before you pay.

Meeting people safely

Chat in the app, then speak by phone or video before you meet. Choose a public place for your first date and tell someone where you are going.
