Though online dating may seem to be followed only by the younger generation, individuals over the age of 60 are the fastest growing demographic searching for love online, according to a new study.

Two Bowling Green State University professors of gerontology have started research about online dating in later life. A shortage of data about older adults and the online dating world spurred Dr. Wendy K. Watson and Dr. Charlie Stelle to look into the phenomenon.
