Not everyone wants a romantic relationship, and that is perfectly fine. Plenty of singles over 50 simply want good company: someone to chat to, go for a walk with, visit a garden centre or share a meal.
Ways to find companionship online
- Say it in your profile: make it clear that you are looking for friendship or companionship.
- Share your interests: gardening, travel, theatre, walking, bridge, cooking. Shared interests are the best starting point.
- Pick friendly communities: some apps for mature singles have many members who are after friendship as well as romance.
Good to know
Meet in public places and in daylight to begin with, and bring a friend along if you would feel more comfortable. Never send money or personal financial details to anyone you have met online.
