Sex and the Single Senior, and Other Topics: SeniorPeopleMeet.com Relationship Expert Dr. Terri Orbuch Available to Discuss Dating for Singles 55 and Over

Popular Research Psychologist Offers Strategies to Help Seniors ‘Look for Love in All the Right Places’

HOLLYWOOD--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The U.S. Census reports there are nearly 16 million unmarried Americans age 65 and older. Add the bubble of single baby boomers, now 45 to 63, poised to join the senior set -- and it’s no wonder that singles age 55 and older are the fastest growing group of online daters.

“Without doubt, the single most common question I get from seniors is: is it too late or will I find that someone special again?”

Dr. Terri Orbuch (a.k.a. The Love Doctor®) -- a professor, federally funded research scientist, and marriage and family therapist -- has joined forces with SeniorPeopleMeet (www.seniorpeoplemeet.com), the nation’s largest online dating site devoted to seniors, to offer guidance and perspective to the seniors who have formed a community there in their search for companionship, love or even marriage.

As the site’s Relationship Expert, she will also write a question & answer column for SeniorPeopleMeet’s soon-to-be-launched online magazine. SeniorPeopleMeet.com is operated by People Media (www.PeopleMedia.com), the No. 1 provider of targeted online dating communities.

“Without doubt, the single most common question I get from seniors is: is it too late or will I find that someone special again?” said Orbuch. “Many seniors believe in the concept of a soul mate and think they’ve already had their turn at love. That’s absolutely not true, and online dating can be a godsend for them. It offers a vastly expansive pool of potential partners -- far more than the limited number of singles one can find randomly in the neighborhood, grocery line or place of worship.”

WHAT:	Dr. Orbuch is available to discuss such senior dating dilemmas as:
	• When is it too soon -- to date, have sex, tell the kids?
	• Seniors and cyberdating: is there a stigma and how to overcome it?
	• Money: yours, mine and ours? When’s the right time to talk about it?
	• Top tips for staying safe online -- for seniors in particular
	• Why older singles crave companionate love
	• How health issues affect commitment in seniors who date
	• Special rules for seniors dating after divorce
	• Top ways to build trust in a new relationship
	• How your personal history affects your ability to trust
WHEN:	Dr. Terri Orbuch is available immediately for media interviews.

A psychologist, who is also known as The Love Doctor® in the national media, she is an internationally known research scientist at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan and a professor at Oakland University.
