When you’re younger, you’re less sure of what you want and tend to pursue love more actively. Fewer obligations and more socializing makes dating easier, and is the big difference to online dating over 50. To find out more, we asked one of eharmony’s relationship experts:</p> <div class="psg-expert-question"> <div class="question-wrapper"> <h3 class="quote-headline question-headline">Why dating over 50 feels much more challenging compared to dating when you were younger?</h3> </div> <blockquote class="psg-expert-quote"> <div class="quote-content"><p>Dating over 50 presents distinct challenges and opportunities shaped by life experience and shifting priorities. With greater emotional maturity and established identities, older daters tend to prioritize authenticity and stability. Dating over 50 can lead to people seeking companionship, personal growth, and connections with peers. Considerations such as family dynamics, health, and technology usage play significant roles in their dating experiences.</p> </div> <cite> <a href="https://www.eharmony.com/about/our-experts/lalitaa-suglani/"> <img decoding="async" class="expert-image" loading="lazy" src="https://www.eharmony.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/cropped-eharmony-expert-dr-lalitaa_-scaled-1-150x150.jpg" width="120" height="120" alt=""/> <div> <div class="quote-name">Dr Lalitaa Suglani</div> <div class="quote-title">eharmony Relationship Expert</div> </div> </a> </cite> </blockquote> </div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="challenges-of-dating-voer-50">The challenges of 50s dating and how to overcome them</h2> <p>You might ask yourself: How hard is dating in your 50s really? It’s all a matter of perspective and questioning your own habits. The challenges you might face can be broken down into three categories:</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Get in the right mindset</h3> <p>For people dating over 50, a common hang-up is feeling like there’s something wrong if we don’t find love in our youth or lose it later. </p> <p>Over 30% of Americans are single over 50 but just 43% of those are interested in dating – according to the Pew Research Center<sup id="rf1-119"><a href="#fn1-119" title="Pew Research Center: “A profile of single Americans”" rel="footnote">1</a></sup>. Even though it’s more common than being single in your 30s and perfectly normal, many singles shift their priorities elsewhere.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Get into dating over 50 culture</h3> <p>While some may consciously put the brakes on their search for love, it never stops exciting us. A study found that love at any age still stimulates the same brain areas with the same level of intensity.<sup id="rf2-119"><a href="#fn2-119" title="Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience: “Neural correlates of long-term intense romantic love”" rel="footnote">2</a></sup></p> <p>How we date may change though. Singles over 50 tend to be more picky about their partners as they don’t feel the same pressure they once did to find someone.</p> <p>They also often have different relationship goals, often seeking genuine emotional connection over singles that fit their checklist of an ideal life partner.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Put in the effort</h3> <p>Reduced sex drive shouldn’t discourage you. While you may not date as actively, dating over 50 tends to be more purposeful. A 2021 study found that the most attractive traits in daters this age were compassion and being fun-loving.<sup id="rf3-119"><a href="#fn3-119" title="Journal of Family Issues:”Love in Cyberspace: Self Presentation and Partner Seeking in Online Dating Advertisements of Older Adults”" rel="footnote">3</a></sup></p> <p>This means you should try to make the most of dates by being more present and enjoying them as experiences rather than trying to arrive at a certain destination. </p> <div class="wp-block-group has-accent-light-grey-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained" style="border-radius:20px;margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container"> <p class="is-style-heading has-main-brand-100-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-400-font-size wp-elements-84cdff991eac455b17457eadad458389" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);text-transform:capitalize">Expert Behind This Article</p> <ul class="psg-expert-list"> <li> <a href="https://www.eharmony.com/about/our-experts/lalitaa-suglani/"> <img decoding="async" class="expert-image" loading="lazy" src="https://www.eharmony.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/cropped-eharmony-expert-dr-lalitaa_-scaled-1-150x150.jpg" width="120" height="120" alt=""/> <p> <span class="expert-name">Dr Lalitaa Suglani, eharmony Relationship Expert, </span> is an award-winning psychologist, and author specializing in practical advice on relationships, and attachment for singles and couples. </p> </a> </li> </ul> </div></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="dating-over-50-redflags">Red flags when dating in your 50s: What to pay attention to</h2> <p>As at any other age, when dating over 50, there can not only be challenges regarding your own insecurities, but also traits and behaviors of your dating partners that indicate potential problems in a relationship. Here are five key red flags to watch for and some over 50 dating tips on how to handle them:</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Avoidance of In-Person Meetings or Conversations</h3> <p>If someone consistently avoids meeting in person or engaging in meaningful conversations, it may be a sign that they are not genuinely interested in progressing the relationship.</p> <p><strong>50s dating tip</strong>: To address this, set clear expectations early on about your desire to meet and communicate regularly. If they continue to avoid it, consider moving on.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Poor Communication Skills</h3> <p>Effective communication is vital in any relationship, but it becomes even more important as we mature. Poor communication can lead to misunderstandings, unmet expectations, and frustration. If you notice that someone is unwilling to engage in open and honest conversation, it might signal future issues.</p> <p><strong>50s dating tip</strong>: To detect this early, observe how they handle small disagreements or discussions about plans. If they shut down or avoid these topics, it could be a warning sign.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Unresolved Insecurities and Emotional Baggage</h3> <p>Carrying unresolved insecurities, especially related to age or past relationships, can hinder the potential for a healthy connection. If your date frequently brings up these insecurities or projects them onto the relationship, it can create unnecessary tension.</p> <p><strong>50s dating tip</strong>: Before starting to date, take the time to reflect on and resolve your own insecurities. If you encounter someone else struggling with this, encourage them to seek personal growth, but be cautious about how much it affects your relationship.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Inconsistent Behavior or Mixed Signals</h3> <p>If someone’s behavior is erratic or they send mixed signals – being attentive one day and distant the next – it can be a red flag for deeper issues like indecisiveness or emotional unavailability.</p> <p><strong>50s dating tip</strong>: Consistency is key in a relationship. Pay attention to patterns in their behavior, and don’t be afraid to ask for clarification if their actions confuse you.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Overly Secretive or Private</h3> <p>While privacy is important, someone who is overly secretive about their life may be hiding something significant. This can include being vague about their past, current circumstances, or intentions.</p> <p><strong>50s dating tip</strong>: Early detection can involve gentle probing questions about their daily life or past experiences. If they consistently dodge these inquiries, it’s worth considering whether they’re being truthful.</p> <p>The best way to deal with these red flags is to trust your instincts and set firm boundaries. If something feels off, don’t hesitate to address it directly. Establishing open communication from the start can help you detect potential issues early on. Remember, dating in your 50s is about finding someone who complements your life, not complicates it.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="restart-dating-over-50">How to restart your journey when dating over 50</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex md"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <p>If you’re reading this, you’ve likely made the most difficult step in getting back out there: deciding to truly do so.

There’s a stronger emphasis on finding a partner who shares similar values, life goals, and mutual respect – rather than just seeking excitement or novelty.</p> <p>For women, there is frequently a focus on finding someone who respects their independence and supports their personal interests and achievements. They might also look for a partner who values open communication and emotional intimacy, having learned the importance of these elements over the years.</p> <p>Men, on the other hand, might seek a companion who offers both companionship and understanding, valuing stability and genuine connection over traditional roles or expectations. They often appreciate partners who are self-assured and capable of enjoying life’s simple pleasures together.</p> <p>In essence, people in their 50s tend to approach relationships with a blend of experience and clarity, aiming for deeper, more meaningful connections that align with their current life stage and personal growth.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="meet-singles-over-50">How to meet singles over 50</h2> <p>Many singles find getting started to be the hardest part. Whether you’re looking for something casual or long-term, online dating over 50 has become increasingly popular. Almost a quarter of senior singles have used a service, a figure that doubled in 2022 since Pew Center last collected this data in 2016.<sup id="rf4-119"><a href="#fn4-119" title="Psychology Today: “Online Dating in the Golden Years”" rel="footnote">4</a></sup></p> <p>But whether it’s online or in line at a coffee shop, finding success is often down to mindset. You have to consciously commit to the process and have defined dating goals, if only to show others you’re invested in the process. </p> <p>Besides online, you may be wondering where you can meet older singles in your daily life.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Best places to meet singles over 50</h3> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Socializing </strong>actively helps a lot so if local nightlife isn’t for you then try to keep an eye out for local community events, markets and festivals as these attract singles from further afield.</li> <li>Try <strong>volunteering </strong>for something close to your heart to meet singles who reflect your societal sentiments and passions.</li> <li>Get active by <strong>joining a hiking or local recreation group</strong> to meet other active singles in a socially relaxed atmosphere.</li> <li><strong>Cruises </strong>may be a cliche but it’s not undeserved. The median age of 46 on cruises<sup id="rf5-119"><a href="#fn5-119" title="Wind Rose Network: “The Cruise Passenger Profile”" rel="footnote">5</a></sup> is mainly due to the greater amount of leisure time available to retirees.</li> </ul> <p>As we said before, people dating over 50 tend to have more diverse goals than younger singles. An increasing number have begun eschewing traditional dating views on cohabitation, monogamy and other relationship precepts in favor of retaining autonomy and instead focusing more on companionship, according to a National Council on Family Relations study<sup id="rf6-119"><a href="#fn6-119" title="Journal of Marriage and Family: “Dating Relationships in Older Adulthood: A National Portrait”" rel="footnote">6</a></sup>. This paints a portrait of a far more emotionally present and level-headed dating scene.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="over-50-dating-site-eharmony">Using eharmony as an over 50 dating site</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex md"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <p>If you’re wondering “what is the most successful dating site over 50?” then we have some strong arguments why eharmony should be the answer of your search for a deeper connection.
