Meet the Golden Dating Doctors – Dr. Gloria Horsley and Dr. Frank Powers, an inspiring senior couple who defy traditional expectations around aging and love.
Two years ago, Gloria and Frank met on SilverSingles, a dating website for seniors. They were both open to finding love again, following the passing of Gloria’s husband of 60 years and Frank’s divorce.
At 85 and 81 respectively, Lovebirds Gloria and Frank share their incredible journey of meeting online, falling in love, and writing a book titled Open to Love: Secrets of Senior Dating.
These passionate advocates discuss the importance of being realistic and having fun while dating, setting boundaries, and leaning on support systems like “Dating Buddies" and a fun, on demand driving service I had never heard of before called GoGo Grandparents.
You’ll hear about their dedicated efforts in helping others find love and joy in their golden years. They also provide invaluable tips on creating authentic dating profiles, protecting yourself from scams, and maintaining emotional readiness.
Gloria and Frank candidly address societal myths about senior relationships and emphasize that it's never too late to find love.
If you're over 65 and looking for love, don't miss this episode. It's packed with online dating wisdom and heart!
