Online Dating Site Brings to People Over 50 the Best Days of Their Lives

Prime Singles, an online singles community dedicated to helping singles find their dates in a completely secure online environment, announces the launch of their new website, Meet-Prime-Singles.com, that facilitates online dating among people who are not in the prime of their youth -- i.e., people over 50 years of age as well as senior citizens. .

Finding love online

Men and women have been writing their way to romance for centuries but only now is it being used as a tool to improve health and wellbeing.

More and more singles are joining online dating sites as part of a new trend in physical and emotional therapy.

Psychologist and hypnotherapist Jo Robinson, who has just conducted UWA's first Extension course on online dating, said she saw people every day in her Perth practice whose search for a compatible partner was causing them great anxiety and suffering.

She said the internet provided emotional resilience for people who were tormented by a strong sense of rejection. Ms Robinson, who met her own partner online, said the internet was a crucial venue for an increasing number of people to make connections.
