The OurTime dating service can help senior singles sort through the local dating pool by providing personalized matches based on your dating preferences and browsing history. The more profiles you like and message on the website, the more the algorithm will learn about what type of person attracts you, and it will automatically recommend. OurTime.com is part of People Media’s OurTime Community, which includes SeniorPeopleMeet.com and SeniorsMeet.com. As a member of OurTime, your profile will automatically be shown throughout the OurTime Community at no additional charge. 166X1605 - OurTime.com is the premier online 50+ dating service. OurTime still emails potential “matches” outside your age parameters. Any other paying member, whatever their age, can send you a message or like your photo or profile. Any freebie member of any age, also can “like” your photos and profile and that will generate a message to you. Though it’s not really a “message”. OurTime is a Scam. They are nothing but a Scam and will take your money and then remove parts of your profile so you can't even use it! Ourtime.com is a total waste of time and money. I have never been lied to so many times in my life. It is not just ourtime. They all are awful.

OurTime.com - Dating service

I paid to join this service a year after I became a widow, after loosing my husband. I thought this was what I wanted, but it's certainly not for me, I've tried over and over to cancel this service but getting no where, this is causing me terrible anxiety. I've even paid to cancel this service but it's still continuing. I can't stop this thing. I got a job in a golf club two months ago, trying to rebuild my life, and I have people coming in saying they see me on this site. I've had to leave my job, I'm so ashamed. Why is this happening? I've had enough, I've lost everything, but yet your still carrying this on! I spoke to people on the phone, once again I've paid a cancellation fee yet your still showing me. Stop this now, I can't cope with this anymore

OurTime.com - Online dating service

I signed up to Ourtime some time ago and have tried to delete my account only to find that the account has already been suspended but they are still taking money from my account. They are odd amounts, one month it's £14.99 but now they have charged me £49.98 which I did not authorise, I can't afford and they have suspended my account anyway. I have tried to get in touch with them but cannot find a number or email address to be able to do so. It's also somehow activated an Affiny account at the same time which I did not sign up to. I'm a single parent, I cannot afford these charges for a service I don't even use and find this company aggressive in the way they work which has made me upset and anxious.

OurTime.com - On my profile I said NO AUTO DEDUCT well 6-6-21 they charged my account and will not let me log ln

I can not log in, site takes me to U K, what the devil is that I'm in the USA, actually I was already getting sick and tired of the site, hateful, nasty, lying men or who ever, I am not gay and must of gotten 100 women wanting to hook up with me, delete became a habit. I have dozens of emails from them all say the same thing, just go log in, but then it says I'm not in the system, I want my $107.94 back with interest since they stole my money, I am a Widow and was just looking for a new friendship, nothing else.

Desired outcome: I want my money back with interest

OurTime.com - Membership of agency

I am 98 years of age and for a dare took out a trial membership as I understood for one month
with OUR TIME I then decided not to renew my membership and stopped using the site [end of May]
and thought that would be the end of the matter
However after returning from a short trip and checking my Bank statements for the period June-July 2021
I was astonished to find OURTIME had charged me for membership at the full rate I believe they must have the
means of checking whether the site is being used and therefore I should be reimbursed by the amount
charged viz 3x 39.99 pounds

OurTime.com - I'm not able to sign in.

This is the sixth time that I've sent an email to OurTime complaining that I can't sign in. Why do I have to complain every time I have to sign in. They will do something and the next day I can sign in. Why can't they just fix this problem. Why do I have to keep writing them? It's hard enough for a guy to meet someone on line and if you can't even sign in on the site that you paid for what is a guy suppose to do?

OurTime.com - Service

I reinstated my account with OurTime on Feb 9, 2021 for 3 months. Every time I try to use their site, a huge ad appears and blocks the site. I can't see my messages or views or anything. I sign in again and again and the same thing happens. I spoke with a gentleman about what was happening and he said he would report it and it would be fixed in 24 to 48 hours. That was two weeks ago and nothing has been done to fix it. The ad says for me to reinstate my account! If I can't use their site, then I want my money refunded.

OurTime.com - Disreputable service

The guy calling himself Martin from Alesund aged 69 with no profile picture might not be genuine or is using site inappropriately.he says he speaks 3 languages and has income between £50 and £75k which is unlikely he appears to be Polish
His response to me liking him was to ask for a x Skype. I am a 74 year old woman and do not expect that sort of behaviour This occurred this week and was very upsetting . I believe if he genuinely wanted to know a lady he would not have posted this
This brings the service into disrepute.

Oct 27, 2019

I am a member of Out Time having joined recently
I liked a guy called Martin 69 from Alesund he had no profile picture said he spoke 3 languages appears to be polish and says he earns £50-75k which is unlikely . So first complaint is how the site verified his profile
When I liked him he immediately sent a message asking me to have a sex Skype with him . I was shocked as I am a 74 year old and it is not that sort of site

OurTime.com - Taking advantage of older vulnerable people

I had not realised that a membership had been set up as thought my bank had not accepted so when I found my credit card charged £29.99 and direct debit to continue I could not believe it. I have not, apart from yesterday and today, to try to get contact information, even looked at site thinking it was not live. I have tried emailing Ourtime at [protected]@ourtime.org.uk but it has just been ignored. A have submitted complaint to site called get human but to no avail. I am desperate as do not want this as need it to be properly cancelled to stop more direct debits being taken as expect the first amount of £29.99 to be refunded. Ourtime say easy to cancel but not the case. There are hundreds of complaints and Ourtime make it impossible to get hold of them purposely, I believe it to be a scam of some sort taking advantage of older vulnerable people looking for potential companionship etc. Denise M. Gilpin-Frost

Sep 05, 2019

Did not know this membership was in existence as I thought my bank had rejected it. It was only when I saw my cedit card statement a couple of days I go that I noticed I had been charged £29.99 with re-curring direct debit. I had not looked at the site again until yesterday to try to find how to contact Ourtime to cancel which they say is easy but it is not as no facility to be able to do so. I found an email address [email protected] but email ignored. Get human take complaints but it has been to no avail. I do not want to be a member of this Company that appears to scam people in order to take money from vulnerable older people. They make sure that they are impossible to contact to prevent cancellation and refunds. Please help. Denise M. Gilpin-Frost

Good morning Dear !!!
I hope your sleep was a good one ..I just returned from work with you on my mind ..Well here is a little about myself with some pics ..I hope you'll like them ..I was born and raised in Gulf Breeze, FL... I am a son of a banker and mom was an office clerk.I was the only child of my late parents but have some few cousin together with Helena who's taking good care of the kids whiles i'm here working on this mission ...I come from a very small family ...Family means everything to me ..I mostly pay them a visit even though I travel a lot due to the nature of my job ..I met my late wife at the age of 23 and got married at 30 through which God bless us with 1 son..life was good until death took her away from me...It took me years to let go even though I knew nothing could bring him back ..I stayed for 6 years without dating anyone ..Single life is tearing me apart..Ourtime was recommended to me by a good friend who met his wife on ourtime and they've being married for 10 years and still counting ..I was there to try my luck which God blessed me with the love of my life within 3days..My desire is to meet a God fearing down to earth woman who is calm, sensitive, sensuous, warm, assertive single man who wants a friendship and relationship. My interpretation of a friend is one whom you can pour out all the contents of your heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentleness of hands will take it all, sift it, keep that which is worth keeping and, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away. I thank you in advance for allowing me to be that kind of friend to you. I'm affectionate, love cuddling, kissing, holding hands. I'm very romantic and love to be romanced, pampered and treated like a special man. I am just an admire person looking for the real meaning of love. I am sweet, caring, understanding, patient, humble, I love people who accept who I am responsible am rich in good spirit and willing to share the real meaning of love to the right person. I love feeling secure and being sure that I can trust and be trusted. I love companionship that allows for having ones own space as well. I think I've said enough ..I'll be looking forward to read from you soon ..I love you dear 😘😘😘😘
Kisses, Bill

OurTime is a dating site for like-minded singles over 50. Whilst a bit of a newcomer when it comes to online dating, it’s making its mark in helping those in their golden years find long-lasting relationships.

The OurTime UK dating site is aimed at those over 50 and is owned by match.com. It works in a very similar way. According to Amber Brooks at DatingAdvice.com, “OurTime is well-known in the over-50 dating crowd, particularly because it has a ton of helpful search features and an easy layout.”

Check out our OurTime UK review below to get the lowdown on what OurTime is really like, and whether it could be the right dating site for you.

Is OurTime UK Worth It? Our recommendation upfront

OurTime gets a 3.6 out of 5. If you’re happy to scroll through profiles and spend a bit of time looking for people that catch your eye, then it’s a fun dating site to use.

Click Herefor Information Regarding International Sexual Orientation Laws From The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans And Intersex Association (ILGA).

The user experience is also good, with lots of added features and a site that essentially holds your hand each step of the way. Activities are an added bonus too, allowing you to go out and socialize with like-minded people in a safe environment.

However, we feel there are better, sleeker websites out there for over 50s who are looking for genuine love. The added features are also expensive and their ads are plastered all over the site, so it’s really hard not to get sucked into paying more than you need to.

Overall, it’s a good dating site, but give the free trial a go before you commit.

  • There are a lot of expensive additional features that can potentially suck you in.

Joining OurTime and Sign Up Process

It’s really quick and easy to sign up to the OurTime.co.uk dating site. Registration only takes a few minutes of your time. If you haven’t used a dating site in a long time (or never at all), you will be walked through the process.

You will be asked to input some information such as your age, gender, hobbies, and preferences. The UK OurTime dating site itself is really easy to use, with a great user experience that means you don’t have to scroll through answers yourself. You just click the answer that’s most relevant to you from the list that pops up.

Once this is completed, you can start your journey of looking for someone with the same interests as you. After you sign up and create your basic profile, you can take the Affinity Questionnaire (which pops open on another tab). This gathers your likes and dislikes to create better matches for you.

The Editor’s Review

Bestcompany.com › Online-dating › CompanyOurTime.com Reviews Page 2 Of 2 BestCompany.com

The OurTime dating site is ideal if you’re looking for a no-nonsense approach to mature online dating. This may be friendship, dates, or a relationship. The app is great in that you can join for free and it only takes a minute or two to sign up. With the free membership, you can enjoy free browsing, daily matches, and only flirting.

But if you want to access more features, you will need to sign up for a paid subscription, which can be pricey. However, OurTime paid members usually have better results on the site because they have more features at their disposal and also rank higher in the search results. You have a better dating experience when you can message anyone you like and that’s what you have with the paid subscription.

What I like the most is that the platform is great at catering to people who haven’t dated in a while. Many people using the site are widowed, divorced, or separated. It provides a lot of step-by-step instructions and guidelines to help make the process easier. The simple layout makes the site easy to navigate and find the best matches.

If you’re a mature single who is interested in senior dating and meeting someone at the same point in their life, then you should give OurTime a try. The site is a great choice for all the above reasons and many more that you’ll discover yourself.

Real Life Review

I signed up in April for a trial. Of course, I could only see the profiles of whom I was matched up with, and to respond I had to pay. I took the chance and said I’d give it a try for one month and if it didn’t work I would cancel. I was matched up with a couple of gentlemen, and after a few dates in, of course, public places, I found the love of my life.

We have been together since May, and last year in February he proposed to me! We have been living together for a year and a few months and I could not be happier. After a 20 year marriage and 2 children, I never thought love existed anymore! Thanks to OurTime I found love! Could not ask for more!

From consumeraffairs.com

Are there any good, quality matches on the site?

Many users say that one of the best things about OurTime is the great quality matches on the site that have led them to a lasting romance.

We think the quality matches on OurTime have to do with the clever matching algorithm of the site. The OurTime algorithm will help you sort through the local dating pool by providing you with personalized matches based on your dating preferences and browsing history.

You have the ability to search for your own matches based on your criteria and the site will also recommend people to you daily based on that same criteria.

OurTime will match you using an algorithm that finds dating profiles that are compatible with you. It will feature one dating profile at a time and give users the option to Like or Pass on it. You can view the person’s pictures and basic information. When you Like a profile, you have the chance to create a mutual match which could lead to a flirtatious conversation with them.

The matching algorithm on OurTime will prioritize profiles that are within your vicinity and that meet your standards in terms of age, religion, education as well as other important factors. And the more profiles you like and message on the website, the more the algorithm will learn what type of person you’re interested in. It will automatically recommend profiles that are similar to ones you liked in the past.

How easy is the OurTime dating site to use?

Getting started with OurTime is super simple and everything is explained very clearly. So if you’re not good with technology or haven’t used a dating site in your lifetime – don’t worry, you’ll be able to figure out what to do.

The site is really easy to navigate and quick to figure out. Signing up for an OurTime UK account only takes a few minutes, too. You can take the questionnaire in your own time. There are loads of advice pages available if you do get stuck. Scrolling through profiles is very intuitive. It shouldn’t take long to figure out if you’re new to online dating sites.

At the top, you will find drop-downs and sections to help you choose what to do next and where to go. This might include editing your profile, uploading photos, checking your inbox for messages, browsing through members, reviewing local events, or even adjusting your membership type.

With the Basic Search, you have filters for gender, location, and relationship type. With the Advanced Search, you have more dating preferences such as things like interests, education, religion, appearance, and more. There is even the option to only see profiles that have a photo.

When someone catches your attention, you can make the first move by sending them a virtual flirt or saving their profile as a “favorite.” As a premium member, you can send a message and start a conversation.

When the OurTime algorithm finds someone that’s compatible with you, it will notify you in the Matches section. Here you will find a number of suggestions as well as Today’s Matches when you hover over it. You can select yes if it’s a match or no if it’s not. If you’re curious if the other person feels the same way without making the first move, you can select Match Me. This will add you into their daily matches and you will get a notification if they like you back. Keep in mind you need to upload at least one photo to access this feature,

Once you’re reading to take things offline, OurTime hosts a list of live events. These can make for fun dates, including cocktail hours and cooking classes. The Events page will show you what’s happening in your area. The events are useful if you’re a mature single in a larger city where singles events are widely attended.

Are there any great features?

Blender. This feature allows you to scroll through profiles that fit your search criteria. You can click ‘no’ or ‘yes’ to each one, then move on to the next profile. You can also add the profiles you like to your favorites list.

Winks. If you’re feeling shy or don’t quite know what to say, you can send a wink to break the ice. This will let someone know you’re interested to try and start a conversation.
