Ever hear of speed dating? It began at a coffee shop in Beverly Hills, California, back in 1998. Men and women rotate around a room, sitting with a new partner every four minutes to see if they have anything in common. Recently, a speed dating event was held at a nursing home near Atlanta, Georgia. Everyone was between 75 and 96. What are the odds of finding Mr. or Ms. Right in a crowd like that?
On the bright side, seniors have enough life experience to know what they like and don't like, and it took only four minutes for Renee Weiss and Miles Miller to know they liked each other. After they met, they started going out for dinner. Yes, there's an age gap. He's 92 and she's only 80, but they like the same things and they've become "an item." Miles is pretty hip. He uses OpenTable.com to make their dinner reservations. They talk on the phone twice a day, and just got back from a seven-day cruise through the Caribbean, proving that nobody is ever "over the hill."
