Here are some dating sites that either cater specifically for or are friendly towards older daters.

Mature Dating Site Reviews

• lavalifePRIME is great site for people 45+ in the USA/Canada, but UK membership seems practically nonexistent. It’s a part of the Lavalife group of sites. This site offers easily accessible dating and socialising for anything from relationships to activity partners and friends. The design can get a bit busy but there’s plenty to see and do including blogs, message boards and many other ways of communicating.
• PrimeSingles.net is part of the well-established Spark Network of sites and offers online dating for people over 50, mostly in the USA/Canada. Like of all of Spark’s sites, it’s well-designed and easy to use with good, functional features.
• Loopy love is a UK only site whose simplicity and ease of use makes it a good choice for people who are new to the Internet and online dating. There are plenty of mature daters on there and the site has a good list of features but is functional and not too busy.
• DatingDirect.com is one of the UK’s most popular dating sites and has been around for ages. It is similar to Match.com but offers video chat too. Like Match, it’s easy to use and it offers a clear design and a good number of older daters.
