If you are above 50 and single, the dating scene can be a bit harsh on you. You don’t really fit in the clubs or on regular dating sites. If you’re looking for someone with whom you can enjoy a nice walk in the park or a scoop of ice cream, or even something more passionate, there is one place you can go: OurTime. This site has everything that golden singles are looking for. Whether you’re looking for someone of the opposite sex or the same sex, you will find partners of your own age group here.

Registration process

Keeping things simple, you’ll pass through 6 quick steps to register your profile. After you enter your email, password and create a username, you’ll answer some basic info about your sexual orientation, location, etc. Then it’s on to the fun stuff where you answer open-ended and multiple-choice questions to express your interests and hobbies to help find matches with similar interests.

Profile set-up

The majority of your profile is set up during the registration process. You’ll be prompted to create a personal bio, but you can skip that part and come back to it when you’re ready to create your profile. Write a bit about yourself, upload a photo, and you’re all set.

Notification settings

It’s easy to customize your notification settings! Go to ‘Account Settings’ and choose which notifications you’d like to receive.

Messaging

Members are not limited to just sending messages, they can also send “flirts”, use the site’s phone feature to call or text message, and even send digital gifts. In order to partake in messaging members, you’ll need to subscribe to a paid membership account.

Message support

In the messaging center, OurTime suggests conversation starters and questions you can ask to get the conversation flowing.

Daily matches

Members receive 10 matches per day, chosen for them based off of a personality matching algorithm. Like modern-day dating apps, you can approve or pass on which matches spark your interest.

Member search

You can browse the member database using simple filters like age and location, or you can quickly swipe through profiles, liking or disliking them along the way.

Concentrated filtering

The website asks the user all about their body type, looks, interests as well as their ideal partners. As it keeps asking you for more details, it keeps filtering people and shows you the people you might be interested in.

Easy to use

It is very simple to use. The bot automatically creates an account and asks all the questions to assess your personality. As people over 50 might be less tech-savvy, this website is designed perfectly, keeping them in mind. It asks for everything from your habits and smoking preferences, to sports interests and your favourite movie genres.

Benefits

When you subscribe to their services, you get several benefits. When you get a subscription, you can:

• Send unlimited messages
• Discover people who like you
• View complete profiles of other users
• Have an ad-free experience
• Install OurTime on other devices as well
• Get special member pricing

Winks

You can show your interest in other users by sending winks or messages, or you can simply add them to your favourites. People can wink at you or you can wink at them. However, if someone winks at you, you cannot see who it was unless you’re a paid member. However, you can wink at others without paying.

Blender

The website allows you to search for the right match and tally your crushes using the Blender. If you like someone, you can message them and send text or GIF. The best feature of the website is that it has a number of users, which means you don’t have to lower your standards. Not interested in someone who doesn’t like football? No problem. There is a large volume of users and there are high chances you’ll find someone who does.

OurTime will come up with 100 profiles every day that suit your preferences. It will show all profiles one by one and you can simply click on yes or no to be connected. The suggestions will include a photo and basic details and you can decide if you have a crush on them. It will also show you the number of interests that are common to both of you. The people you click yes for on the Blender will be added to your favourites.

Activities

Want to take online relations out into real life? Here’s your chance. OurTime will list some activities that are going on in your area. Just visit those events and you can find the other singles near your location. OurTime holds painting classes, weekend getaways, and many other such activities. Some of them are free while others are paid. You can reserve your place in these events by letting them know on time.

Great search features

It also shows the members that are currently online. That way you can start a new conversation with the members that are presently available. The search feature of the website lets you select a number of filters to find out the right partner living near your location.

OurTime also has apps for mobile platforms but the website performs better on the desktop instead of mobile.

Mandatory photos
