Dating Dilemmas: Should I try online dating?

Hi Senior Dating Agency…

I’ve been on my own now for about 5 years and at times I do find it lonely. I miss the little things like going for a coffee and having someone to sit with, even if we’re both readings the papers, or someone to share a meal with – it’s no fun cooking for one all the time.  Anyway, my daughter keeps telling me I should get online and sign up to a mature dating site but I’m not so sure.  I’m not exactly a whizz on the computer and I’m scared to put my details online.

Can you help?

Judy

Hi Judy, thanks for writing in. We get a lot of queries very similar to your one so don’t worry, you’re not alone. It’s understandable to be a little weary about joining an online dating site especially if you’ve never done anything like this before. However, you really have got nothing to worry about.

You don’t need to be a whizz on the computer and in all honestly, not all of our mature daters are. However, as long as you’ve got the basics for example, you can open up the Internet, locate the website and send a message (which is no different to an email) you’ll have all the skills you need. And should you ever get stuck you can always ring our friendly Customer Care team who are based in the UK. They will always be more than happy to give you a tutorial on how to use the site over the phone or fix any problems should you become a little stuck.

With regards to putting your details online you can be sure that they are safe with us. As long as you don’t disclose personal details, such as phone numbers or addresses, you have nothing to worry about. We will always keep your password and account details safe and where you see the padlock sign on the payment page you will know that your payment is secure. Aside from this we do have an in-house moderation team who check and moderate every profile, first message, and photo that gets submitted to the site. This way we can make sure that all members are sticking to the guidelines of the site and that everyone who joins is a genuine member.

Our mature dating service is 100% dedicated to those who are looking for love, companionship, or simply friendship later in life. So everyone that you find using our online dating service will be in a similar situation to yourself, whether that be widowed, separated or someone who may never have found love.

Finally we really do think your daughter is right- the best way to meet someone is to put yourself out there and join a mature dating site. Life is much better when it’s shared and there could be someone out there just waiting for you to come along and complete them too.

Thanks

The Senior Dating Agency team
