Find love today with seniors dating

At eHarmony Australia we don’t believe that there’s such a thing as the “right age” to start looking for the person to spend your life with. From Hobart to Port Douglas, we help men and women across our great southern land meet other mature singles – regardless of the numbers on their drivers’ licenses.

Today, senior dating sites are a popular way for singletons to find like-minded folk to start a relationship with. The world of dating is changing all the time and dating sites for older dating is one of the most popular ways to start looking for love. Australia’s demographic is gradually ageing, with the over-50-year-old ‘Baby Boomers’ making up over a quarter of our population.

As a result of our ageing population, many mature singles find themselves looking for a partner in their later years. Whether you’re unattached due to travel, your profession, a marriage breakup or tragedy; we’re here to provide you with access to many like minded singles also looking for a relationship.

So, whether you’re on the over 50s dating, over 60s dating or over 70s dating scene, eHarmony Australia could be your answer to mature dating success.

Online dating in Oz

Dating for seniors can feel intimidating, especially if you haven’t been on a first date for quite some time. Life becomes more routine: you commute to the same job, head to the usual gym and socialise in the same places. The opportunities we have to bump into well-suited people are limited.

Dating online with relationship site, eHarmony, offers the perfect laid-back and friendly atmosphere for meeting people at your own pace.

eHarmony’s advice for older daters

1.    With age comes wisdom

Maturity is the result of life experience so ignore the crow’s feet and focus on the positive aspects of being older. You’re far more intelligent, interesting and well travelled than you were in your 20s.

2.    The benefit of hindsight

How many of us wish we could go back and give our younger selves some much needed relationship advice? Our older members have a much clearer idea about the sort of people they find interesting and attractive and as a result know quickly who they might want to avoid!

3.    Show confidence

Confidence and humour are regularly listed as the most attractive qualities in the opposite sex. Approach your dates feeling comfortable and confident in your own skin. Forget shy and retiring, be confident!

First meeting suggestions

Our Guided Communication is there to help you get to know your match in the initial exchanges of conversation. The final step is to see if your online match is the person you’re looking for in the flesh. It’s important to choose a safe and comfortable first meeting location, so here are some ideas:

·        A bite to eat?

Whether you prefer a seafood platter by the water or a chargrilled steakhouse, there’s no shortage of great local cuisine to pick from. Selecting a restaurant is a great way to express your personality: so whether you prefer chicken by the bucket or slow cooked lamb on the bone, find the perfect one to enjoy some great food with on eHarmony Australia.

·        Venture out

Australia has an abundance of greenery for you and your date to enjoy a wander in: whether you’re looking for romance under the stars, or a laid-back spot for a chat.

 For Sydney-siders, a beachside lunch is hard to beat at Bronte; South Australians can’t look past a bite to eat at Glenelg, while for Melbourne residents the stunning Royal Botanic Gardens are easily accessible.

·        Looking for something quirky?

Challenge yourselves by going out of your comfort zones. Have a go at climbing the Harbour Bridge, check out the driving range at Whaleback Golf course, or take a stroll around Cape Woolamai. If you’re heading north to NSW and QLD why not  include a trip to Brisbane’s Wynnum Pier, wine tasting in the Hunter Valley and a cruise along the picturesque Hawkesbury River.

Find romance with eHarmony Australia

At eHarmony Australia we help you find love regardless of the number on your birth certificate. The secret behind a long and happy relationship lies with finding people compatible with your lifestyle – a scientific process known as ‘matching’.

While it might sound technical, in reality finding ‘the one’ with eHarmony is simple – because all of the hard work has already been done for you.

Getting started

When you sign up to the eHarmony Australia dating website, you start by filling out an in-depth questionnaire. Your responses to our questions are used to identify the qualities you have in common with other members and potential matches.

We also have a distance setting feature; that way you won’t end up talking to our members in Wollongong if you’re based in Kalgoorlie and not looking to travel. Think your dream partner is on the other side of the world? That’s fine too; just let us know!

Once we have identified the members you are compatible with, we leave it to you to see if any sparks begin to fly. Thanks to detailed profiles, you can get a feel for your potential match’s personality, interests and career before you even start communicating!

A good way to start a conversation is by sending your selected match an Icebreaker. This way you can see if you both share each others’ interests before entering into a full flung conversation. You can question each other in a number of areas such as; how important is chemistry to them, what makes them nervous and their attitude towards hard work. If your match responds by email, you can both look forward to getting to know each other better before setting up a date. This is something you can do safely, at your own pace, thanks to our Guided Communication system.
