Dating after fifty isn’t the game you played at twenty-five, and thank goodness for that. You know your own mind, you have far less patience for nonsense and you’re better company than you ever were. What has changed is the rulebook: swiping, emojis, abbreviations nobody bothers to explain, and the odd chancer who’s after your bank details rather than your phone number.
These guides close that gap. Each one tackles a question people over fifty genuinely type into Google, answered in plain English with a bit of cheek and no judgement. Read them in any order, or jump straight to the one that matches where you are right now.

Mature dating advice, wherever you’re starting from
Only just thinking about it? Begin with the profile examples and the guide to apps and sites, so you know what you’re walking into and how to make a decent first impression. Already chatting to someone? The flirting guide and the glossary of dating terms will help you keep up, and keep things playful.
Got a date in the diary? Read the first-date ideas for relaxed, public plans that suit grown-ups, and give the safety guide ten minutes before you meet anyone new. It covers the warning signs of romance scams and what to do if a match starts asking for money.
And if you’re a man who has always had a soft spot for older women, there’s a guide just for you on meeting them respectfully, both online and out and about.
Cheeky is good. Careless isn’t.
Everything here assumes you want to have fun, and that you’d rather do it without losing your savings or your dignity. So the advice is honest about the risks as well as the pleasures. Keep chats on the site until you trust someone, don’t hand money to anybody you’ve only met on a screen, and choose somewhere busy for a first meeting. None of that spoils the fun; it simply keeps it going.
Flirt boldly, share slowly, and keep your bank details to yourself.
Written for proper grown-ups
Our readers are men and women in their forties, fifties, sixties and seventies, plus the people who fancy them. Some want a regular date, some want a long, slow flirt and some want something a little naughtier. All of that is fine by us. You won’t find a single lecture here about acting your age, and you won’t need a grandchild to translate anything.
