About Date A Widower: Where Love Can Come Twice
A warm, respectful place for widowed singles, and for the people who would love to meet them.
To help our members find love by connecting them with like-minded singles, with respect and honesty at the center of everything we do.
Date A Widower is for people who know that love can come twice. Our members are widows, widowers, and singles who would be glad to share their life with someone who has been widowed. Most of them live in the United States, with smaller groups in the UK, Canada and Australia, and most are in their late thirties to their sixties. The site has welcomed members since 2024.
Why a site just for widowed dating
On a general dating app, being widowed is something you have to find the right moment to explain. Here it is understood from the start. That changes the first conversation: you can talk about your children, your work, the trip you have always meant to take, and mention your late partner the way you would with a friend, without watching for a reaction.
Everything you need to find each other
We give every member a profile, daily match suggestions nearby, private messaging, a friendly members' feed, and chat rooms and group chats for bigger plans. Joining and browsing are free. A paid membership lifts the daily message limit and adds a few extras; read how it works and see every plan on the pricing page.
Backed by a trusted dating platform
The site runs on HubPeople, a dating platform that hosts many specialist dating sites. HubPeople provides the membership system, payments, moderation and the support team, so the same checks and the same round-the-clock help sit behind this site as behind every other site on the platform. HubPeople is a member of the Online Dating and Discovery Association, an industry body for safety standards. The protections are set out on our safety page.
