Finding love later in life may not be exactly the plan, but when you’re ready for companionship and romance—don’t wait. Compatible friends, partners, and playmates aged 55 and over are enjoying the many benefits of OurTime’s matchmaking tools to start new chapters of their lives. Easy navigation and simple tools make finding love easy for ages 55+. It gives mature singles the chance to discover love or companionship, either online or in person. Here’s our extensive review of OurTime.com.

Profiles 7.0


“Do you enjoy cooking?”, “Are you romantic?”, and “How much do you like reading?” are a few of the personality questions you might answer on OurTime.com, among other personality questions. The profiles on the site are fairly complete, offering options for writing a personal essay and filling out specific personal details like height or income. The way the information is displayed is pretty comfortable, and you’re able to see member’s last activity as well as what each member is looking for in a mate. Everything you need to know about each potential match is clearly displayed, which makes finding someone special easy. Photo albums are also featured on each profile page.

Matching 7.0


Similar to Tinder’s roulette style of viewing matches, OurTime gives members a chance to see users one-by-one through their “I’m Interested” feature. It’s a simple yes or no answer that determines whether or not you’d like to start communication with someone if you’re interested, or pass.

There’s also a feature called “Today’s Matches” which populates a small list of potential dates for you to check out. If you’re into astrology, there’s even a matching section that gives you results for people based on compatible star signs.

Filters 6.1


You’ve got six options for searching and filtering on OurTime. While you can only search one at a time, you’re able to sort and search by Birthday, Keyword, Online Now, and even Username, among others. It’s pretty straightforward and uncomplicated, but it doesn’t offer nearly as much customization as other dating sites.

Communication 7.5


There are many ways to get the message across to someone you’re interested in on OurTime. You could actually send a message using the mail feature, or you can chat, flirt, like, comment, or tell someone you’re interested by answering a simple question of “Are you interested?” with yes or no. These features are locked until you subscribe for a paid membership, but talking with someone you could have a future relationship with is pretty priceless.

Value 7.9


Beyond a paid membership (which includes some amazing features like more options to flirt and the ability to send messages), OurTime showcases a unique token system. You pay for tokens and then can use them on the site to highlight and promote your profile. Receiving more attention is always a good thing when it comes to dating sites full of members. It’s an easy way to stand out. The value for a paid membership is very good considering their free membership is pretty limiting. The added features are definitely worth it.
