Where do the elderly meet the elderly??
It is a fact that more people are gathering online these days than at social events or even at work, and this is especially true of older people. A surprising percentage of boomers are looking for a new relationship and find it online. I can attest to that, it’s where my wife and I met six and a half years ago and it’s been a big step for us.
Seniors Meet Seniors Online Success Story.
I had come out of a 39-year marriage and had four children. Gemma had been divorced 16 years earlier and had two children. Of course, all the ‘children’ were adults and had their own relationships and families. Two singles, free to find new loves and new adventures. I was 60 years old and had ‘run home to Mom’. It was one of my daughters who suggested that if I sat down to watch TV night after night, I would soon be older before my time.

I was prepared to ‘kiss some frogs’ before I found my sleeping beauty, but careful scrutiny of the responses that were pouring into my email account every day meant I didn’t have to.
One in a million
The site sent me some matches and one was amazing, she had worked as hard as I did on her own profile. The site told me that she was a couple in a million to me and it turned out. We met, we courted, and two years later we got engaged. We were married just two years ago and as it will conclude, it was the best move I could have made.
