The story behind 50dating.com

At 50dating.com, we believe it's never too late for a new beginning. Whether you have more free time after retirement or are open to someone again after a divorce — here you'll find people looking for the same thing.

In 2015, we started 50dating.com because over-50s deserved their own place where they feel welcome. While other sites focused on younger people, we wanted to create a place where mature love could flourish.

Today, we are proud that tens of thousands of over-50s trust us. Our members send more than 40,000 messages per month together, and we regularly receive messages from members who have found a new friendship or relationship through our platform. With the help of Anna, our personal DatingCoach, we help you improve your profile and find the right match.

Since November 2025, the older brands VijftigPlusDating.nl and .be have been consolidated into 50dating.com. Together with 60dating.com, they form our modernised offering: one platform, two gateways for different age groups. This consolidation allows us to focus our team more effectively on safety, moderation, and user experience for our members.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about 50dating.com

Answers to the most common questions about online dating for over-50s.

What is 50dating.com?

50dating.com is a dating site specially designed for over-50s. Since 2015, we offer a safe and user-friendly environment to make new connections.

Is 50dating.com free?

Signing up is free. You can create a profile, view profiles and send limited messages. For unlimited chatting and extra features, you can upgrade to Premium.

Why can I only send a limited number of messages?

As a free member, you can send 2, 4, or 6 messages per conversation, depending on how complete your profile is. A complete profile with photo, personal description, and lifestyle preferences leads to better matches and fewer disappointments. It encourages everyone to put their best foot forward, which improves the experience for all members. Additionally, a paying member can unlock your conversation with an unlock credit, giving you unlimited messages in that conversation until the following Monday. Want unlimited chatting in all your conversations? You can upgrade to Premium.

How safe is online dating via 50dating.com?

Safety is our top priority. All profiles are manually checked, we offer profile verification and our moderation team is active 24/7. Your email address always remains hidden.

Who are the members of 50dating.com?

Our members are aged 50+ with an average age of 64 years. The ratio is 39% women and 61% men, and a large proportion of our members are widowed.

What is Anna DatingCoach?

How do I start with online dating?

Sign up for free, create a profile with photos and a personal description. Anna helps you step by step to make your profile more attractive and send your first messages.

Is 50dating.com the same as 60dating.com?

No, but they are two brands from the same organisation (Epic Internet B.V.) that share the same platform. 50dating.com is intended for people aged 50 and over; 60dating.com for people aged 60 and over. Because the platform is shared, you may also meet members on 50dating.com who originally signed up via 60dating.com — provided they fall within the age range relevant to you.

Who can see my profile when I sign up on 50dating.com?

Your profile is visible to other members aged 50 and over who search on 50dating.com, and to members on 60dating.com who are looking for matches of your age. You are not visible to members who search outside your age group. Non-logged-in visitors and search engines cannot see your profile. Your email address and surname are never displayed. You can further protect your profile via your privacy settings (for example, with incognito mode).

Our promise to you

We understand that online dating can be new to you. That's why we ensure you always feel welcome, with clear guidelines, privacy protection and an environment where respect comes first.
