''Some questions about dating are the same for everyone, regardless of age, such as how to recognize and keep abuse out of the relationship. Older adults may also have other concerns. Even though you may have experience in relationships, it is always helpful to be aware of a few tips.
Many older adults are concerned about violence or abuse at the hands of a stranger. They worry about being robbed or home invasion. Very few seniors are harmed in this way. Most violence and abuse of older adults is by a loved one. Research studies show that older women and men are more likely to be physically abused by their spouse or significant other, rather than by a stranger.''
