Wise Owl Dating began with a simple idea: people over 50 deserved an online dating service that felt welcoming, easy to use and suited to their stage of life.
Created from personal experience
Our founder understood how difficult it could feel to meet somebody new after a long relationship or a period on your own. Pubs, clubs and small newspaper advertisements offered little information about a person’s interests or what they hoped to find.
Online dating made it possible to learn a little about someone first, look for shared interests and start with a friendly message.
Free to begin
You can create a basic membership without giving card or bank details. Add your profile, browse other members and decide in your own time whether Wise Owl Dating feels right for you.
A wider network of members
Wise Owl Dating is part of a shared general dating network. This gives members access to a broader selection of suitable profiles and improves the chance of finding someone compatible. Your profile may also be shown to relevant members on other sites within that network.
Backed by CafeDating
Wise Owl Dating is part of the CafeDating family of independently presented dating sites, bringing experience and a human touch to online introductions.
