As people age, the chances are that at some point they'll end up back in the dating game again. It might sound harsh, but the reality is that seniors are among the fastest growing group of singles around. You might think most seniors want to remarry, but that's not true. Most are just looking for companionship and a solid, fun, and healthy relationship.

And where do most seniors find love? Like many non-seniors: online.

An article from the Seattle Times caught my eye recently, and quotes an 80-year old man and his take on dating again.

"When I was growing up, I didn't see women who were in their 60s and 70s as women," he said recently. "Now, it's amazing. The men I know are all looking at 80-year-old women. They're our friends. We listen to them. We dance with them. We have sex with them when we can. It's beyond comprehension."

The times have changed for the better for people over 60. What about you? Are you looking for someone special? If why not plug in and see what the Internet might have in store for you. You may just get the relationship you never thought you'd be lucky enough to have.

We hear a lot about online dating scams, but where can singles go to help protect themselves from such scams?

Singles in general should be smart about spotting Internet dating scams. While Internet dating is a great way to meet someone new, any form of dating can have its dangers.

Now, a new website aims to help Internet daters spot scams and identify con artists. Romancescams.org has a quiz on its site to help you determine if you've been corresponding with a scam artist. It also has resource links, common scams, pictures of scammers, and a scammer database.

Don't let the dishonest folks prevent you from trying to go online. Instead, make use of the resources out there like this one, and always be cautious until you truly know someone.

If you like someone, do you also like the same music he or she does?

A common interest in musical tastes is the hook behind a new dating website called Rock 'n Roll Dating. They match singles who enjoy rockabilly, metal, or punk rock. Best of all? The site is free to sign up and create a profile.

According to the Long-Beach Press Telegram, "the site launched in mid-January and already has a few thousand members." The mastermind behind the site once owned a record label, so he wanted to create a place for singles like himself who enjoy rock 'n roll.

I think a site like this a great idea. It not only offers an "in" to first date conversation, but also lends itself to some date ideas as well. What's not to like about that?

Have you ever met someone at church? In a singles group, or group activity, or even at one of the worship services?

I used to go to a lot of "singles events" at my church. I never dated anyone from there long term, but I did meet a few friends over the years. Our church was very good about ministering to singles. We had a singles group that would meet after the regular service to talk about the challenges of being a single Christian, and what it meant in the plan God had for us.

But I felt that sometimes in church it seemed that many more activities (and sermons) applied more to the challenges of married life and raising a family. Perhaps this was my bias at the time, because now that I am married I no longer feel the sermons shifted in that direction. Perhaps being singles means that you tend to feel "left out" of the majority of society.

I recently read an article that quotes a Census Bureau's survey as saying that "34 percent of Americans ages 15-64 have never been married and 10 percent of the age group is divorced."

The article goes on to talk about how both the church and singles and how they can benefit from targeted interaction. After all, if one of the largest groups in society is single, should we all pay them a little more attention?

Thanks to all of you who entered to win our contest for the book: Get Your Dating Game On. I asked each of you the best pickup line you'd ever heard. I hope you got a chance to see the entries!

There were some incredibly cheesy and lame openers. It's amazing any of them worked, although I think sometimes you just need to break the ice when you see someone you want to talk to.

I loved reading them all. After careful consideration, I had to choose this line from Maggie Yu:

"Boy: Hey! I haven't seen you for a long time! Girl: Do I know you? Boy: Hmmm, you look familiar. Girl: *Thinks* No. Boy: That is a shame, I'd sure like to. I am (name). *Big grin*"

This is a pretty cute opening line, and I can actually see it working. I especially like the "big grin" part. Maggie, you definitely win the prize! Congrats.

In addition to the entries, I hope you all noticed we got a shout out from Jennifer Worick, author of Get Your Dating Game On in the comments as well.

Thanks to all who entered, and if you didn't win, at least you have a few opening lines to use next time you go out. (wink!)

Do you believe in ghosts? Are you single?

Then a new dating service might just be perfect for you: Paranormal Passions.

I know, it seems silly to me. But then again, I'm not one for chasing ghosts.

Paranormal Passions will be part of the Passions Network, which has a ton of great niche sites that allow singles to hook up with people that share likeminded hobbies or, well... passions. According to one source, "members can use the 'Paranormal Groups' section to find other members who share similar interests, like alien abduction, crop circles, remote viewing or psychic phenomena, Members can also browse other members based on their beliefs in conspiracy theories, ghosts, hauntings, precognition or UFO's."

On the surface, I think this is a great idea. You and another single have at least something in common right off the bat. Instead of doing the usual get to know you questions, you can chat about the thing you both feel strongly about. It takes a certain edge of off the initial conversations. And if it makes singles get to know each other easier, why not?
