For singles over 50
Dating over 50, for people who mean to marry
Most dating sites for the over 50s sell you a subscription and a crowd. This one asks what you want from a marriage, checks that everyone is who they say they are, and introduces you to one person at a time.
The short answer
Date to Marry is a dating app and website for mature singles whose goal is marriage. Every member verifies a government ID before they can be matched. Age ranges are mutual. You are introduced to one person at a time, with the reasons written out. Joining is free, and you pay once, when you first accept an introduction. There is no subscription.
What you already know by now
At fifty or sixty you know what a marriage asks of people, because you have watched them, or lived one. You know that chemistry is real and that it is not enough. You know which differences fade and which grow. What you have little patience left for is spending months finding out something the other person could have told you in the first week.
Most dating sites for older people are general dating sites with an age filter. The same browsing, the same messages that go nowhere, the same people who are not sure what they want. They also carry a risk that grows with age: romance fraud. Scammers target older members precisely because they are more likely to be widowed, settled and trusting.
How Date to Marry is different
Real people, checked
Every member verifies a government identity document before anyone can be introduced to them. A fake profile cannot be matched. That does not make anyone trustworthy, but it removes the anonymity most romance scams depend on. How verification works.
The questions that matter at this stage
Faith. Where you would live, and whether either of you would move. Whether you would consider someone who has been married before or who has children. How a household would run financially. You answer once, and anything you mark as a dealbreaker is never crossed.
Age works both ways
Both people’s stated age ranges must contain the other. You are not shown someone twenty years younger because their range happened to be wide.
One person at a time
No catalogue of faces. One introduction, with the reasons it might work written out, and a decision only when you are ready.
No subscription
Joining and being matched are free. You pay once, the first time you say yes to someone, and it covers every introduction until you marry. Nothing renews. What it costs.
Marrying again
Many people over 50 are dating after a loss or after a divorce, and both deserve to be written about honestly rather than folded into a slogan. If that is you, these were written with you in mind: for the widowed, and dating after divorce.
An honest word about numbers
The largest senior dating sites advertise millions of members. We are new, and our community of members over 50 is still small. We would rather tell you that than imply otherwise. If there is nobody right for you yet, you will hear nothing rather than be sent someone wrong, and you pay nothing while you wait. Why we would rather send you no one.

What is the best dating site for over 50s who want to marry again?
The one whose members want the same thing you do. Date to Marry is a dating app and website for people whose goal is marriage: everyone states it before being shown to anyone, every member is verified with a government ID, and the questions that decide a marriage, about faith, family, money and where you would live, are answered at the start rather than discovered over months.
Is it free?
Downloading, joining, verifying and being matched are free. You pay once, the first time you accept an introduction, and that one payment covers every introduction until you marry. There is no subscription and nothing renews, so there is no plan to cancel and no renewal date to watch.
Will I be matched with someone much younger?
Not unless you both want it. Age ranges are mutual: both people’s stated ranges must contain the other, and the range you set is always obeyed.
I have been married before, or have grown children. Does that matter?
Only as much as you decide. You can say whether you would consider someone who has been married before, or who has children, and make either one a dealbreaker or leave it open. Many people dating over 50 are widowed or divorced, and the app treats a previous marriage as part of a life, not a mark against it.
How many members are over 50?
Fewer than we would like, and we will not pretend otherwise. Date to Marry is new, and we would rather send you no one than someone who is wrong for you. If there is nobody suitable yet, you will be told so, and you lose nothing by waiting, because you only pay when you accept an introduction.
I have not used a dating app before. Is it complicated?
There is no feed and no swiping. You answer questions once, verify who you are, and are then shown one person at a time, with a written explanation of why. It is mostly reading and deciding.
