You have chosen a recent photo, adjusted the crop, uploaded it to your dating profile, and finally think you are finished. Then another screen appears asking you to verify your photo.

For many people over 50, online dating begins with a practical question: can a connection that starts with a profile, a few photographs, and a handful of messages really develop into something lasting?
