If you\u2019re here, most likely you\u2019ve seen a commercial or an advertisement for a senior dating site, or maybe you had a friend share a success story with you that piqued your interest. Sites like OurTime, SilverSingles, and SeniorMatch tend to be popping up a bit more frequently these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, you\u2019ve lived enough life to know that while sometimes new things can still be safe, there still may be risks you need to be aware of.

However, a lot of over 50 singles and over 60 singles may decide that sites and apps just aren\u2019t worth the potential risk (keep reading to see why).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If that\u2019s you, then what can you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, one option is to consider going \u2018old school\u2019. Hire a professional matchmaker. Get a professional who understands how to help seniors find love, who can protect you from the technology (you never have to download anything), and will help vet your matches so you know you\u2019re not getting taken for a ride.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this sounds amazing, it\u2019s what we specialize in here at Three Day Rule.

If you\u2019re in the over 50 dating or over 60 dating camps, you didn\u2019t grow up with technology like today\u2019s generation. This means that your experience and proficiency with technology is probably not going to be your strongest suit unless you\u2019ve spent years catching up with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guess what? That\u2019s okay. There is nothing wrong with it. However, realizing this is what\u2019s important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re honest with yourself about how much you know about technology, it can help to lower your risk substantially when it comes to finding love online.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI has really made things interesting (and potentially scary).&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of AI, it has really made things challenging on senior dating site companies when it comes to protecting users. Here are some of the ways this is happening:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Scammers can make fake pictures that look real to trick you into thinking they are someone else.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bad actors from foreign countries (where a large percentage of online scams originate) can use AI to translate languages, so you don\u2019t notice any broken English as a red flag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI can even be used for fake voices on phone calls, fake video messages, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some senior dating sites (not all of them) are trying to stay ahead of the scammers, but it\u2019s expensive and not a perfect system. The reality is if you choose to use senior dating sites, no matter if the site is the best at protecting users, you\u2019re still going to have to <a href=\"https:\/\/healthyframework.com\/how-to-spot-and-avoid-online-romance-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">do your part to spot romance scams<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Romance scams may be nearly $20 billion annually.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/how-we-can-help-you\/scams-and-safety\/common-frauds-and-scams\/romance-scams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According to the FBI<\/a>, romance scams account for nearly $1 billion in losses annually. However, additional data shows that based on low reporting numbers from victims,<a href=\"https:\/\/healthyframework.com\/dating\/online-dating-scam-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> actual losses could be closer to $20 billion annually<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is heartbreaking, but it\u2019s a reality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">People know seniors may be more vulnerable.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the worst part. When you look at the FBI data, the group that is the most susceptible? Over 60 singles. Nearly a quarter of all cases in the referenced year were from singles over 60. If you include over 50 singles, it\u2019s over 40% of the cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important Safety Tips for Choosing a Senior Dating Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We understand that personalized matchmaking isn\u2019t always going to be the best fit for everyone (though, we\u2019d encourage you to at least take advantage of the free call to find out). If after that you decide it\u2019s not, here are some safety tips for choosing the best senior dating site for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Do your research. <\/strong>&#8211; Take the time to check out the claims that the senior dating site is making. Just because they say something on their website doesn\u2019t mean you should automatically take it as correct.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ask friends. <\/strong>&#8211; You have to be careful here because one person having a good experience doesn\u2019t automatically make something safe. That said, getting some insight from someone who has tried a senior dating site before you is always better than going it blind.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Remember who is in charge of your safety. <\/strong>&#8211; While senior dating sites should do their part to keep you safe, at the end of the day, your safety is your responsibility. Spend some time studying up on senior safety tips (this <a href=\"https:\/\/healthyframework.com\/seniors-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guide from the Healthy Framework Center for Digital Safety is a good start<\/a>), learn a bit about the capabilities of AI, research the most popular romance scams, and be prepared.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Have a plan. <\/strong>&#8211; Have a deliberate plan in place of what you\u2019re going to do if you encounter something that feels wrong. Create a list of people you know who are great with technology (like maybe a kid, grandkid, friend, etc.) that you can share with. And when something feels off? Don\u2019t be scared to reach out to one of these trusted confidants before you do something you aren\u2019t comfortable with.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make sure you\u2019re talking to a real person. <\/strong>&#8211; Unfortunately, the root of most romance scams is someone pretending to be someone they\u2019re not. Sometimes, it\u2019s not even a real person, but a computer (called a bot) designed to scam people. Sadly, we\u2019ve personally heard horror stories from clients who have lost millions of dollars from using senior dating sites. Do your best to ensure you\u2019re talking to a real person. Don\u2019t let them continue to use excuses as to why they can\u2019t video chat or meet in person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If someone asks for money, run. <\/strong>&#8211; The number one rule to keep yourself safe is that if someone asks you for money (no matter how heart-wrenching their reason may be), run. Scammers are masters at building a connection with their victim and then knowing exactly how to pull at their heart strings in a way that gets them to send money. If someone asks for money for any reason at all, just run.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gbp-section gb-element-aa9c670e\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ff545754;color:#ff545754\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gbp-section__inner gb-element-4317d4a1\">\n<div class=\"gb-element-bd6f84d5\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" class=\"gb-media-1013fab4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.threedayrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Talia_New.png\" title=\"Talia_New\" alt=\"Talia Goldstein - Three Day Rule Founder\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.threedayrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Talia_New.png 400w, https:\/\/www.threedayrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Talia_New-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.threedayrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Talia_New-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-a3abd0bb\">\n<div class=\"gb-text gb-text-4ef25bcb\">Talia Goldstein<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-text gb-text-ff53175c\"><strong>Founder<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text gbp-section__text gb-text-f7fa7a19\">Talia, Founder of Three Day Rule, has been featured on various news outlets from Good Morning America to CNN.
