Li W.

63 y/o

Art

Retired from nursing about five years ago and now I volunteer at a local clinic on Tuesdays. If you like slow mornings and a good cuppa, we'll probably get on just fine.

Aviva S.

69 y/o

Movies

Spent 20 years working night shifts at a bakery and somehow I'm still an early bird. Looking for someone to share the early hours with.

Isaac W.

72 y/o

Literature

Spent 30 years in insurance and I’m well aware it’s hardly riveting, so we needn’t talk about it. Looking for someone fun and down-to-earth who’s ready for something good.

Monica G.

64 y/o

Cooking

I’m out for a three-mile walk every morning, come rain or shine, and I’m usually in bed by nine. If you’re a night owl looking to change my routine, I’m probably not the one for you.

Theresa E.

69 y/o

Traveling

I run a little alterations business from home three days a week. If you need your trousers taking up, I’m your girl; if you’re looking for a date, I’m also your girl.

Nina S.

71 y/o

Cooking

Supply teacher by day, crossword fanatic by night. Do you have a favourite pen or are you a pencil person?

Susannah U.

75 y/o

Art

Former loss adjuster who now spends her time making candles and watching nature documentaries. I'm not boring, honest.

Joanna B.

71 y/o

Board Games

Retired secondary school careers adviser who still gives advice to anyone who asks. Just looking for someone who actually wants to talk, not just text.

Miriam Y.

63 y/o

Art

Part-time driver for a patient transport service and I listen to audiobooks on every shift. Looking for someone who has opinions about books, or at least wants to hear mine.

Jabari O.

62 y/o

Cooking

I run a ham radio station from my spare room and spend most evenings chatting to people all over the world. Looking for someone who thinks that’s actually quite cool rather than just a bit weird.

Sasha O.

66 y/o

Board Games

Former joiner, I still build things in my shed, mostly shelves and little frames now. Just looking for someone to share a cuppa on a Saturday morning.

Israel D.

65 y/o

Literature

I do the cryptic crossword every morning with my coffee — pen, not pencil. Looking for someone who has their own little rituals they love and won't try to change mine.

Meyer T.

73 y/o

Movies

Retired welder with strong opinions on structural integrity and a shed I actually use most days. Looking for someone genuine who’s done with games and just wants good company.

Hussein J.

71 y/o

Cooking

I do a bit of painting and decorating for a few clients a week to keep busy and earn a bit extra. Looking for someone independent with their own life, but who wants someone genuine to share it with.

Meir T.

66 y/o

Photography

I read about two books a week — mostly history and biography — and I'll talk your ear off about them if you let me. Looking for someone who reads or just enjoys a good yarn.

Ahmed K.

68 y/o

Cooking

Spent most of my career in a medical lab, so I’ve got a keen eye for the things others miss. Looking for someone genuine and straightforward who means what she says.

Giselle H.

65 y/o

Movies

Retired court reporter who still types faster than most people half my age. Looking for someone who can keep up with the chat.

Abraham Z.

75 y/o

Movies

I still locum at a chemist part-time when they need cover, mostly just to stay sharp. Looking for someone who has her own thing going and wants a partner, not a hobby.

Samuel S.

75 y/o

Cooking

I spent most of my career as a site foreman and still help the family with the odd DIY project. Looking for someone down-to-earth who’d prefer a nice home-cooked meal to a flashy night out.

Yung I.

60 y/o

Traveling

My garden takes up most of my free time from April through to October and I’m more than okay with that. Looking for someone who enjoys being outdoors and doesn't feel the need to fill every silence.

Barnaby Z.

75 y/o

Traveling

Took up photography in retirement and now spend my walks snapping birds, landscapes, and whatever catches my eye. Looking for someone who doesn’t mind the odd stop for a photo.
