As that baby-boomer bracket gets increasingly savvy on social media, a full 12 percent have tried their luck at finding a date online, up from 6 percent three years ago, according to the survey of about 2,000 adults.

As that baby-boomer bracket gets increasingly savvy on social media, a full 12 percent have tried their luck finding a date online, up from 6 percent three years ago, according to the survey of about 2,000 adults.
A third of adults 55 to 64, meanwhile, report that they know someone who uses online dating, while 28 percent know someone who has entered into a long-term relationship through a Web connection.
For adults 65 and over, those figures are 21 percent and 20 percent, respectively, according to the poll.
