Over 40 Dating: Your Love-Life Begins at Forty!

couple dating in 40s

Whether you’re seeking love for the first time or are starting again, over 40 dating can feel daunting. Not so online – having lost its stigma, most South Africans now agree it’s a great way to meet a future partner! EliteSingles is on hand to help you start an exciting new chapter in your life; home to mature, intelligent and successful singles, there’s nowhere better than here to be dating in your 40s!

Dating In Your 40s: Searching for Serious

It’s fair to say that once you start dating in your 40s, you’re almost certainly taking the search for love seriously. Long gone are the days where cheap thrills and short flings were enough to keep you happy and – as a professional, a parent or simply an all-round responsible adult – your love life has become more serious. And there’s nothing wrong with that! Meeting and falling in love with a supportive, mature partner is a worthy priority in your life; the only problem is how to find them.

No wonder that an increasing amount of the over 40 dating scene is moving online, with between 4-5% more over 40s taking to dating sites and dating apps for the first time over the past couple of years1. It’s becoming such an essential tool for dating in your 40s, all you have to decide is which site suits you best…

Why EliteSingles? Over 40s Dating Online

Over 40 dating sites aren’t in short supply, so it’s important to find the one that works best for you. EliteSingles prides itself on the fact that our members are both successful and educated, as well as serious about their search for long-lasting love. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place!

With the majority of our South African members between 30-50, it makes us a great place to start your own over 40 dating story and it means that we’re designed to serve mature members. Our members aren’t just mature either – 82% are educated to at least Bachelor Degree level. On top of that, our customer care team manually verify each and every new profile on our site, and thus we know that 100% of our members are genuinely looking for love. Demonstrably, EliteSingles is the place for mature, intelligent and genuine singles hoping to find a compatible partner.

An inclusive site, catering for singles from every walk of life – from Christian singles to divorcees, widowed singles to single parents and executives – we rely on our intelligent matchmaking system to find potential partners who are perfect for you. Once you’ve signed up and taken our personality test, we send you 3-7 new matches a day and are determined to streamline and optimize your online dating experience.

Tips for 40 Plus Dating

The most important piece of advice for 40 plus dating is simple: don’t stagnate. If you’re ready for a relationship, stay active in your search for love because it’s all too easy to rely on being set up by your wide circle of friends (a mere 17% end up liking their blind date2) or have blind faith that love will fall right into your lap. Whilst that’s not impossible, the dating game isn’t really like that in practice, so finding your own potential partners – whether that’s online or offline – is the key to success. In over 40 dating, without doubt, you make your own luck!

And, of course, there are many great advantages to using EliteSingles too! For tips on how to get the very most out of our 40 plus dating service be sure to read the section below…
