So, my question is: It's hard to say. Many people that age might not get out much - they have their routine that might involve hobby carpentry in their basement or building remote control planes, working on old cars in the back yard, going to the legion for beers, the bowling league, and many more. It's doubtful they'd subject themselves to singles dances and other singles group meetings. If that tells you anything it should say you'll have to pound the pavement quite a bit.
If your mom was a church go-er that's one place where it can be a little easier to meet people but then a lot of silly politics might keep things from freely developing the way they should. Good luck though Try to convince your mom of course that internet dating doesn't need to be "internet dating" as opposed to a way to get connected with people you wouldn't be able meet up with otherwise within your usual limited circle of friends.
You can always start with coffee and don't have to date. That said, while I have seen some successful online romances I enjoy dating much more when there's a personal connection of mutual friends as opposed to starting from scratch and putting yourself into a blind date with some stranger via the internet. The pool of late middle age divorcees is pretty large.
You get baggage, but everybody's got baggage. My mom has been without my dad for some 15 years and all the guys she's dated since then were fix-ups from mutual friends and all divorcees. She's in her 60s. She might have a lot more in common with people who still work, rather than retirees. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered.
She said, "He just wants someone to take care of him. I've abandoned the project of trying to find dates for Grandma. They are in their mids. But they are also lucky in a sense, because they live in a town almost entirely filled with retired people Rockport, TX , so everywhere they go there are people their age and plenty of singles. Out here in Phoenix we have several Sun City communities where the median age is something like I've met several people who live there and every one of them love it. They enjoy the numerous clubs and activities that provide plenty of opportunities to meet people.
To meet people in their seventies your mom simply needs to go where they are. No funeral home jokes, please. Best wishes, Michael Invest your time actively and your money passively. She's very active it all sorts of groups, from church to book clubs find these at local bookstores to the Red Cross to the "Aesthetics Club" whatever that is.

We're friends, not doctors, financial or legal professionals, and we're not "grief experts. I am not a kid anymore I am The last time I dated was 45 years ago. I am not sure that I want to date yet but am thinking maybe in the next year or so. In the meantime I need a lot of help in HOW to date at my age. Now if I meet men it is mainly as part of a couple and not as singles.
What are the fundamentals of dating in your 60s and 70s? - Widowed Village
I don't want to go into online dating or go to a meet up I am not ready for that. But I would like to find someone to go to the movies etc with. I was in the same boat! I was very fortunate to find a lady who had also been widowed who lived 40 miles from me. We agreed to meet for lunch half way. Driving over, I felt like a 15 year old again LOL. We chatted for a few hours, and when we I walked her to her car, I said, I would like to see you again. She agreed, and we met for lunch many times after.
Had a strange moment last night. I went out to dinner with friends from my school days! You know that chin tucked in flapping the eyelashes look? I watched them for a while, just hope they did not notice me doing it! I don't want to do it in false eyelashes and try to look 40 at Oh dear I do feel as if I judged the poor woman and shouldn't have but if that is what I have to do to date again - no thanks. I am 62 now!
Do a meet up or dating site. I don't believe anyone should be alone unless they are happier that way. Only1Sue, do what your heart tells you is right. She also knew which one would be suitable given my views on religion, politics and reading habits. I have been a Guardian reader for decades and although sometimes appalled by the trivia that counts as news these days, it is a newspaper I am proud to support. Before Louise's intervention, one of those "trivial" aspects of the paper would have been its Soulmates service.
Hence, without my knowledge, Louise registered me as: Within days, I had email responses from several women around the country and I replied to them all with my phone number. I soon received a call from someone who lived quite close by, but it became immediately apparent that her aspirations were well beyond my pocket.
Another, much younger lady with a voluptuous photo on her profile, got in touch too. And despite assuring me that she was attracted to elderly men, I couldn't help but wonder how she earned her living. Although I didn't know it at the time, it was the next call that really counted. Jenny lived in Sussex but regularly visited London and we agreed to meet for a matinee performance of The Country Wife at the Haymarket theatre. Iris and I had always loved the theatre and when Jenny told me that she would be wearing a green jacket with matching shoes, I assumed that, like Iris, she would be dressed in a genteel manner for our first meeting.
Instead I found this apparently square-shaped woman, wearing a green anorak and walking shoes, outside the theatre doors, and I felt rather disappointed. After the play we strolled around Covent Garden and had a cup of tea together. Jenny, a few years younger than me with daughters and grandchildren, had led an interesting life and travelled extensively with her husband until his death four years earlier. Both early members of CND, we shared similar politics and taste in music, and she was almost as opinionated as me.
I was also amused that she was too embarrassed to tell her family that she had joined Soulmates. She should have been perfect, but something was lacking and I felt frustrated when I took the tube home alone on that early summer's evening.

I hadn't been home long when my younger daughter and then a son rang to find out about my afternoon. When they heard about the Soulmates listing, my children were enthusiastic for me to find a mate and saddened that I had not found what I was looking for in Jenny. But it was after explaining my misgivings to them that I began to realise that the fault lay with me.
I had hoped that Jenny would be like Iris - and, of course, she wasn't.
Jenny was her own woman with her own style of dress, hair and opinions. Like me, she sought company but unlike me at that time, Jenny knew that her first choice in a partner was no longer available because he had died. Fortunately, she was willing to give me a second chance. This time, I drove down to Hove and held her hand as we walked along the coast to a fish and chip lunch.
It was a warm day and we slowly returned to Jenny's flat overlooking the beach for tea on her little balcony.
