Senior dating sites work by matching older people with younger ones. You sign up and receive a match request, which is sent to your email. You can also email your match if you want. Once you have received the request, you can contact your potential partner. It can be a long process, but you'll be glad you did it after you see some of your matches' profiles. Aside from the obvious reasons for joining a senior dating site, there are a number of other features to check out.
