Daphne Simmons, 65 , says she's tired of dating apps and places to meet men in person.

She organized the event in Avondale , N.L. , in part because she's hoping to find a match for her mother, Annie White , 75 .

Older adults approach relationships with a wealth of life experience, and they're looking for common interests to spend time with.

Victoria dating coach Cherie MacCormack says watching older adults struggle to connect inspired her to start matchmaking services.

There was at least one big win: several of the attendees left the event together and went to a local bar to hear a band play. Regardless of whether any of them wind up dating, they had still become friends. "It's just pure joy to be honest," Temple said. "Because I know some of their stories, the loneliness. And now, when they leave here today , they might have somebody to call upon that they didn't have before." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 17, 2024 ..
