First you would need to let us know where you are. My Mother in Law is available if you are in FL.

Depends on how long your Dad has been widowed honey. Perhaps he is not ready for a new relationship yet - he may have to overcome lots of issues yet you see. If however, he has suggested to you that he has, then why not sit him down next to you whilst you are on the computer and let him see the response you got from your question. He may be happily surprised that this computer malarky is not all as bad as he thinks. I am now in my 50's and also a widow - but it took me many years to overcome my sadness and even more to learn how to use this fandangled thing. I suggest you help in in learning to use the computer after you have spoken to him about your mission. Good Luck and to your Dad "if I can do it - you really can" - and I would be the last person to push you into doing something you were not ready for. Your daughter/son are obviously caring about you - so you are doing a good job their.

You can invite him to church and social occasions where he might meet others. There are many more widows than widowers so that is a definite advantage. Introduce him to ladies he might fancy or seems attracted to. There is a club called "Cherry Blossoms" run by a Harvard man which introduces penpal ladies to gents. They are from the Orient but you shouldn't mind as they are just as lonely as he and many have ticking biological clocks...i.e. getting along in years and older ladies in their 30s LOVE older men.
I know a number of older fellows who have made merry matches in this fashion but familial attitude, especially yours might prevent him having a very nice second marriage. If he fancies an overseas bride...by all means develop a liking toward the lady and do accept her. No one can replace your mum, but your dad is so lonely and if you want him happy you must accept his new lady.
Reality means that most local ladies will bow out but "Cherry Blossoms might well be a wonderful alternative to loneliness for your dad...just one of course!

You need to get him out into social settings. I don't know how old your dad is, so its a little hard to suggest what places to take him. If you live in a populated area, there should be some bowling alleys that have single nights. Bingo parlors are good places. If your dad likes going to religious services, take him to services. Churches and synagogues have all sorts of social events for people like your dad. You could try getting him to do some volunteer work. If he needs motivation, do it with him. Lots of older single women are involved with charity work.
I hope some of my suggestions help. There are a lot of things out there for him. Go with him the first few times to give him some encouragement. Good luck.

Just like some others have said, church and church activities are very nices places and events to meet honest ladies for companionship. I know there are many very attractive women who attend mine! They are of all ages.
Community organizations and volunteer activities are very good as well. Someone else already said it: put them in the same room together and everything else will fall into place.

IF you can get your Dad involved in organizations at your church or in your community there are nice ladies out there looking for nice men. (The local Bingo hall is full of them!)
Put them in the same room and things will take care of themselves.

Post a personal ad for your dad and let them know you are his daughter and you are concerned about him and want the best for him. Collect the pics for your dad with each ones info and then show them to your dad. Pick the best ones and invite them over to your house for dinner and include your Dad of course.
Good luck.

Ask him what kind of woman he wants then go out and look for her. I'm really not the best person or this situation though because of my lack of experience but that's what I think.

you could try using Sarah Beeny's online dating agency called My Single friend - this has been set up for people to recommend their single friends. This means you do the on-line stuff - not your dad
