Online "dating" for woman in her 70s - where to start?

My dm has been on my own for about 10 years since df died. She has decided she wants to get online to find a companion to go to the theatre/walks/restaurant etc.
Does anyone have a clue where to start with this - I would like to be supportive but at the same time don't want her to put herself in danger online!

There is a great ABC Australia four corners investigation on YouTube about seniors being catfished, would recommend watching for the risks

I would try guardian solemates.

Safety is common sense really. Not divulging personal information like address, surname, bank account details etc. Meeting in public and telling someone where you're going.
