Are you looking to meet someone new? Back in the dating scene and totally new to all of this?
There are currently 19.5 million singles over the age of 65 – they even make up 20% of unmarried people! If you’re one of those, I know it can be a bit overwhelming to dip your toes back into dating, especially if you haven’t been on a date in a couple of decades.
Today, there are tons of options for dating over 50, but no one makes it quite as easy as Our Time.
Meet Local Singles
One great thing about OurTime is that it shows you singles over 50 in your area before listing anyone further away. While you can certainly set your parameters to meet people in other areas, you’re able to stick to just those local people if you’d like.
OurTime includes a free option that lets you start your profile and start browsing singles in your area for free. All you have to do to create a profile is to enter your first name, zip, date of birth and email. It’s so quick! Now, we’d definitely recommend adding a photo and filling out the other optional profile information to attract more matches, but there’s almost no barrier to getting started.
What You Can Do For Free
One thing we like about OurTime is that they offer a free version so you can try the app. You can search for matches, send Flirt notifications to let people know you’re interested, read profiles, see profiles, and edit your own for free.
OurTime will even offer five or more daily matches based on your own profile and you can either mark Interested or No.
You Get More with an OurTime Membership
However, if you want to have any sort of meaningful conversations with your matches, you need to sign up for a membership. At just $29.96/month (or cheaper if you pay for 6 months up front), you’ll be able to get full access to the service.
Paid membership includes:
- Emails, chats, and instant messaging
- Faves – see who has added you as a favorite
- Search using several filters
Our Takeaway
Personally, I like OurTime better than some of the other options on the market. It’s super easy to use, includes amazing safety features, and the matching system works pretty well! I like feeling like I’m meeting more of the right people than having to dig through so many options.
This is definitely an app that you’ll have to pay for to get the value out of the app, but that’s true of most dating apps these days.
If you’re looking to make dating easier, I definitely recommend giving OurTime a try!
