Are seniors and mature adults over 50 really meeting others on the internet and finding true love?

More people than ever are finding love on the internet. And an increasing number of those people are over 50.  Mature daters over 50 now make up about a quarter of all online daters. And that percentage is rising rapidly as divorce rates have doubled for the over 50 population, combined with the fact that people are now living longer, more active lives. 

While it can be hard for mature adults to meet other singles over 50 offline, online dating is providing millions of mature singles the opportunity to have fulfilling social lives. Online dating makes it easier for people to find potential dating partners who are more compatible; which is why research has shown that relationships that start online tend to become serious more quickly, than ones that start offline. 1 out of every 5 married couples are now meeting online. 

So if you are one of  the millions of single baby boomers looking to find your true love, senior online dating may very well offer you the best opportunity to find that someone special.
