Many single senior citizens are lonely and would like to make new friends.
For a large number meeting people is extremely difficult.
They may live in an area where there are few in their age group or they may be finding it hard to make new connections following a divorce or the death of a spouse.
Some have physical problems which make it difficult to leave their homes.
Whatever the reason, there are a number of single seniors looking for ways to meet people and form new friendships.
This group is also connecting to the internet in growing numbers.
Seniors realize that is never too late for new friendships and/or love are learning that the senior online dating services offer a great way to find these.
 Online dating from the comfort of your home could be the beginning of a life changing experience.
Some online senior services are free; even those that have a fee are relatively inexpensive.
A month's subscription can be as little as a dinner or two out.
Most of the ones that have a fee give a free trial to let you see if their site is the one for you.
During the free trial period, you can see for yourself the quality of the services including the number of single seniors in your area who are subscribers.
An online senior dating service will help you develop a profile that will specify your interests, likes and dislikes.
Be careful not to provide any personal information that isn't absolutely necessary.
  Primarily you want to communicate with honesty the things you like, dislike, and what you are specifically seeking from online relationships.
Online dating can be a great experience but it can be a big disappointment if you waste yours and other people's time pretending to be someone you're not.
  The only way to make a good connection is to be honest about who you are.
  You will be able to view others' profiles and contact them as you please.
Remember, others will be reading your profile and contacting you.
When you begin chatting online you will open up a whole new world with so many opportunities for making new friends.
