Dating after 40: starting again with confidence

More and more people start dating again later in life, after a divorce, a loss or years of being happily single. You know yourself better than at twenty, and that is an advantage.

Be clear about what you want now

Your life is fuller than it used to be: work, children, friends, habits. Decide what a partner should add to it, and say so in your profile.

Show your life as it is

Recent photos and an honest text work better than trying to look younger. The right person is looking for someone your age.

Take your time

There is no schedule. Chat, video call and meet when it feels right. Tell a friend about your dates; it is safer and also more fun.

Know that scammers target this group

Fraudsters often look for people over forty with savings. Be alert when someone avoids video calls or mentions money. A platform where every profile is verified removes much of that risk.
