Widows and widowers dating in New York

Starting again takes courage, and New York can feel very large. Second Love is a gentle place for widows and widowers in and around the city to meet people who understand, and joining is free.

Finding your match in New York

New York has so many people that finding someone who moves at your pace can be harder than it should be. If you have lost a husband or wife, starting again in a city this size takes patience. Second Love lets you set your age range and interests, add your area and see daily suggestions chosen to fit. A free account lets you browse profiles and send a limited number of messages a day, and free ID verification puts a badge on your profile. Talk for as long as you like, then meet somewhere public, such as a busy cafe, and tell a friend where you will be.

Three places to start in New York

Central Park

Wide paths and open lawns make an easy daytime walk, with plenty of people around.

The High Line

A raised park on an old rail line, good for an unhurried stroll and a talk.
