Enter 2date4love, a new website created by Laura Brashier, a year-old cervical cancer survivor. The site launched at the beginning of this.

But a number of my older patients are single, and their experiences of facing treatment and survivorship alone are profoundly moving. They often want to find someone with whom to share their life—and this is a real challenge. There are times when I am tempted to start a matchmaking service for the men and women, both gay and straight, who tell me how lonely they are and how they long for someone to share their life with.

That would not be ethical of course—but I bet I would be successful in pairing some of them up. I often hear stories that describe how difficult it is to dip an older toe into the world of dating in ; the world is so different from the s and s when last they were single. Dating these days seems to start with an online membership to one of the many dating websites out there.

That, in itself, is a challenge for many of my older patients who are not tech-savvy or at least not comfortable with posting a picture and completing an online profile. In other words, they are a disappointment. My patients ask me what they should do next—and having never registered a profile myself, I am not able to provide much more than common sense suggestions.

And number 3: You need to talk about expectations about a physical relationship sooner rather than later. Something that I have found interesting is that both men and women say that they are most interested in companionship. What does that mean? Most of my patients say that they want someone to travel with, to go out for dinner with, or to a movie or symphony concert.

See why I would like to start a matchmaking service?
