Silversurfers dating?
Watch this postAfter being widowed for four years I thought I would try the Silversurfers dating, perhaps to meet someone who would enjoy their trips. Holidays with?
One man, no photo, after two lines of interaction offered me a chance to drive with him to France to a property he owns. My question is, how responsible and selective are the Silversurfers staff in monitoring the applicants as I cannot imagine anyone would willingly go away with a stranger for five days!! Would they?
Would be interested to hear peoples views!

Few seem to want to spend time getting to know others...need to have time exchanging messages to know more about someone first! So it peters out!

I agree with Michaeljohn, it sounds very risky to go away with someone you don't know especially to a place which he owns so presumably there would just be the two of you there. It might be better if you were staying in a large hotel with plenty of other people around you but it's not a risk that I would take. I'm quite sure that many men and women manipulate the truth and put things on their profiles in order to attract a member who has perhaps taken their fancy. I remember an ex-partner of mine stating that he enjoyed rock-climbing and canoeing - in reality he hated heights and never set foot in a canoe in the ten years that I was with him! He had obviously fancied his chances with a sporty female whose profile he had read. He also said that he was a non-smoker - perhaps cigars don't count!!! 🙂 I would advise caution - not everyone lies and I'm sure that there are some nice, decent people out there.
I don't think the people who run Silversurfers can guarantee members of the site are genuine, I don't think that would be possible, anyone can lie on a registration form.
There will always be some degree of risk, it's just about reducing that risk, for example getting to know the person first; having your first meeting in a safe public place ect...
