Hi everyone. The number of people age 50 and older has been skyrocketing over the past several decades. In addition, the number of single older adults is also growing in leaps and bound. So today we’ll be discussing something millions of people around the world are looking to find… love after the age of 50. If you’re not among this group of love seekers, chances are good that one of your friends or family members is.

In Part of 1 of this two-part series, we’re going to learn about how the dating scene and romantic relationships have changed for those over 50 in recent years, what’s become a very popular kind of relationship for those over 50, how COVID-19 has affected this group, and some of the challenges those over 50 face when looking for love.

In Part 2, we’ll cover such things as what the future might look like for those looking for love after 50, what opportunities that might present… and we’ll get some tips on how you or someone you care about might go about finding a romantic, loving relationship after 50. To help us with all this, we’re going to speak with an expert on this topic. She’s Francine Russo.
