Answer 1

Yes, over 70's do date! You're just older, not dead. Check out (using the age as a criteria) sites that list for more mature daters. They do exist. My husband's grandmother did just that. And stick with your honesty, it's refreshing. And just like other potential sites, use caution and meet in a safe, neutral surrounding. Best of luck!

Answer 2

You bet! I'm engaged to a soon to be 70 (next month) I'm 52 and he has more energy than I do.
He has a wonderful outlook on life and I find him trustworthy which is rare at any age. Plus, he's Italian. Need I say more?
We knew each other 30 years ago and picked up basically where we left off. Maybe you should call some old friends and if they aren't single maybe they can hook you up with someone.
I wish you the best of luck. It's lousy being lonely.

Answer 3

Sure, those people over 70 are dating. Did you try Amercian Singles.com? When you first join, people say it takes a while before anyone sends you "instant messages" & so forth. Just be patient & you'll meet someone, if that's the route you choose to take. I'm not 70, have a ways to go yet, but I know of many who are actively dating. Good luck!!!

Answer 4

I hope I don't have to wait until I turn 70 to date again. I'm having a really hard time getting back out at 52! I hate being a widow.

Answer 5

Des, I'm not over 70 yet, but I do read a mag for over 50's, they have a Friends and dating page and a website. Have a look at it.

Good luck x

Answer 6

Well, good for you! and I think honesty is the best policy, saves disappointment.
Have you tried Saga, their magazine has a few 'seeking' pages. I'm not looking for myself, it's only out of curiosity you understand! but if you're anything to go by, I still have time to change my mind.
They also have an online site,where you can meet others and chat. Depends what you're looking for really, good luck anyway.

Answer 7

I am not seventy but, I will be one day...God willing!

HEY! What does your age matter? Get yourself in all the right places to meet some of these women! I wish I could help you there but, I have no clue where to meet people of certain age groups. Locally, we have a "Seniors Center" and they have a blast up there! Dances, games, dinners and so on. Do you have anything like this in your area? I cannot personally tell you about the dating "scene" there as I am married and I have not been. But, I have heard that they are always active doing something and most are single.

Don't ever give up! Noone is ever too old to love! I know I will never grow too old to love! So, get yourself out there and I wish you fun, happiness and many friendships, in this endeavor.

"Fairy tales can come true it can happen to you, if your young at heart---------" Ole Blue eyes believed it! But I think it would be rare that some one out of the blue will come knocking on the door. "All the lonely people where do they all
come from?" Tony Bennett, Women do live longer then men, that's a fact. Seems like old men like 'em younger, if they can get "em. I think the odds for women over 70, are sparce. But at any age have to set your cap on! there may be "Some one
Out There Waits for me." Public functions, Socials, Dance clubs, volenteer places, through friends, if any are left living!
If your agile and have the energy, gotta put your self out there,
at the right places. I have heard the grocery store, by watching whats put in the cart. In our area widows are plentiful! Men are dieing at 65-67, greater percentage. Good luck!!! It's a big adjustment living alone after a long marriage,
but it's possible, welcome the freedoms! Embrace what is, let it go, turn it over, and it may happen if it is meant to. Church group? Hobbie clubs, Put your thinking cap on.
Just be the Blessings already are, My sister married after widow hood, two years and she had to go through the grief
process one more time. Nothing lasts forever, the good or the bad.

Answer 9

My friend who just hit 70, (I cant believe it, when she told me she had turned 70 I was shocked) she has a new guy, they go skiing, golfing, and are very active. She doesnt look a day over 59 IMO. She always has a date it seems, always going out, traveling, etc , but there is no way she would get married again. She retired at the age of 68 and was the Excutive Director of a very successful and growing agency.

She met him on the golf course - a friend of the friend she was with.

Answer 10

funny. you should meet my dad. he'll be 79 this year and last summer he got married(my mom died 12 yrs ago)to a great lady, nearly 20 yrs younger than he. they've been together about 7 yrs total. he didn't do the on line dating thing. this is a woman we've known for years. so in answer to your q, absolutely!, but try to find a different way of meeting ladies.
