Senior dating in Canada – who’s trying it?

There’s one main thing to know about so called ”senior” dating in Canada and that’s the fact that those who are trying it are not as unusual or doddering as the ”senior” term would suggest! In fact, with 1 in 6 Canadians aged 65 or over, and with 55-64 year olds outnumbering those aged 15-24 for the first time,2 the senior age group in Canada now includes a vast section of the population – many of whom are vibrant, interesting men and women who also happen to be looking for a second shot at love. If you’re among them, then perhaps it’s time to count yourself lucky: you happen to be in very good company!

Meeting other senior singles

Psychologist and Relationships Coach Sam Owen sums up the senior dating situation thusly: ‘’You are far from alone: being single in your 50s is increasingly common – so don’t beat yourself up about it or feel despondent.‘’3 That said, while it is one thing to know that there are other ‘silver singles’ out there, finding them is quite another!

Indeed, although there are plenty of Canadians flying solo after 50, or single after 60, determining who is and isn’t available can be an awkward process. After all, not everybody has other senior singles in their work or friendship circles and meeting someone socially can be tricky at best (it’s not always easy to surreptitiously check for a wedding ring!). Yet there is one place where you can reliably find others who are interested in mature dating – and that’s the internet. In fact, since 2007, the fastest growing group of online daters has been those aged 50+.4
