Two years ago, Dr. Gloria Horsley and Dr. Frank Powers, both nationally recognized relationship therapists, met on https://gorgeousbrides.net/pt/noivas-hondurenhas/ SilverSingles in Frank’s hometown of Scottsdale, Arizona. SilverSingles is thrilled to share their love story in their own words below.

I was getting ready to retire from my practice at 79 years old after a good run at a profession that I loved

We are also excited to share that the couple, a.k.a. “The Golden Dating Doctors,” co-authored a new book called Open to Love: The Secrets of Senior Dating, which features their SilverSingles love story as well as tips and tricks on how those ages 60+ can not only survive but thrive in the world of dating. The book is available on Amazon for pre-order now and debuts on Valentine’s Day, .

Following the passing of my husband of 60 years, I was open to finding love again. I began dating someone, but after a failed dating experience, I decided to write an advice book for widows. I googled “senior dating” and SilverSingles popped up on the screen. I clicked on the link, inputted my credit card info, filled out my profile, and I was on my way!

I tailored my profile to showcase my passions and to relay that I was looking for a life companion and not just a dream guy, unlike my younger self. I enjoy playing golf and wanted someone who shared my passion. Additionally, since I take care of myself, I wanted to find a man who does the same – someone who is financially responsible and has planned for his future.

Knowing that my ex-boyfriend had some success with online dating, I decided that a chapter of the book would be dedicated to this subject

Frank was the second person I met through SilverSingles, and I was excited because he was a psychologist like me, as well as an artist. His bio also indicated that he liked to play pickleball, tennis and a bit of golf. We texted online and then agreed to meet in person in Scottsdale, where he lives, while I was visiting my sister. When I first met Frank, it was amazing! We met for drink and then had dinner. We were immediately smitten with one another, and we’ve been together ever since. I am happy to say that Frank and I have weathered the storm and have been together for two years now. Magic can happen when you’re open to love!

Advice: It is important to know exactly what you want in a relationship and make it clear in your profile.

My story begins with a history different from Gloria’s. I have been married several times and have had a few long-term relationships. For 17 years, I was married to another psychologist whom I shared a successful psychology practice with and helped raise her twin daughters all the way through college and law school.

After we divorced, I joined SilverSingles in an attempt to find a new relationship. A few times, I dated women that I thought were keepers, only to find out that they were “almost relationships” and not the one I would spend the rest of my life with. Although I was feeling lonely and discouraged in my personal life, I wanted to give dating one last shot to see if I could find a lasting love.

Digital Journey of Lasting Senior RomanceI renewed an old membership with SilverSingles and updated my profile. After flipping through some pictures and profiles, I came across Gloria. Her profile really stood out to me, and my heart skipped a beat. After communicating via text, we eventually decided to meet up at Grassroots Kitchen & Tap in Scottsdale. Although her profile looked great, I hoped that she would live up to it in person. Then I met her, and I realized that she exceeded it! We have been together for two years and have even written a book together called Open to Love: The Secrets of Senior Dating. Needless to say, we are both very grateful to SilverSingles and the online world for helping us find our happy ending.

Advice: Don’t give up! Senior dating success is only one profile away. You too can find the love of your life!
