Dating again, closer to home
If you are dating again after a long marriage, a divorce or losing a partner, the big dating apps can feel like they were built for someone else. They are full of people half your age, and the person who catches your eye often lives on the other side of the country. Mature Westcountry Singles is smaller and more settled. The site is for people over 40 in the South West, and you search by age and area, so the people you see are people of your own generation who could meet you for a coffee in Totnes or a walk along the front at Weston.
Most members are in their fifties and sixties, and a good number are over 65. Some are looking for a lasting relationship, some for companionship and someone to share days out with, and some just want to see whether they are ready. All of those are welcome. Say which you are on your profile and it saves everyone time.
Mature singles who share your corner of England
Mature dating works best when the other person understands your life without needing it explained. Our members know which roads to avoid on a summer Saturday and why a pasty tastes better on a harbour wall. The largest groups are in Devon, Somerset and Cornwall, and the busiest towns are Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, Taunton and Truro, with plenty more around Bath, Torbay, Barnstaple, Yeovil, Weston-super-Mare and the Dorset coast.

Elaine, 55
Wadebridge
By day, I really enjoy the rewards of my job, and at home, I’m kept happy company by my pets. When it comes to unwinding, I love to get creative with crafting or building Lego, but I’m equally excited by a vibrant night out at the theatre for dance and musicals. Whether exploring a bustling new city or finding somewhere completely off the beaten track, I love discovering new places.
