For parents

Your family can open the door.You decide whether to walk through.

Pitch Your Parent is a parent-approved way to meet good company nearby — for walks, tea, lunch, and small gatherings. Your child or family member can help create an introduction, but nothing is shared unless you say yes.

You are always in control. Nothing is public. Nothing is shared without your approval.

This is not about managing your life.

You have lived a full life. You know who you are. Pitch Your Parent simply makes it easier for kind people nearby to see what your family already sees in you — your stories, interests, personality, and the kind of company you might enjoy.

This is not senior dating. Not caregiving. Not a senior center. It is a warm introduction to people nearby who may also enjoy good conversation, a walk, tea, lunch, or a small gathering.

You decide what happens next.

1

You approve your profile

Your family can help write it, but you decide what is shared.

2

You choose your photos

You can keep, remove, or change any photo — including older photos from favorite moments in your life.

3

You choose who to meet

You can say yes, no, or “not right now” to any introduction.

4

You choose the pace

Start with a phone call, video call, family introduction, tea, lunch, or a short walk — whatever feels comfortable.

Your family suggested this because they love who you are.

Sometimes adult children notice that a parent's world has become smaller after a move. You may have left friends, neighbors, a congregation, or decades of routines to be closer to family.

That does not mean anything is wrong with you.

It may simply mean there are kind people nearby who would be lucky to know you.

This is not about needing help. It is about making good company easier to find.

What kind of company would feel good to you?

Not everyone wants the same thing. Some people want a walking buddy. Some want tea and conversation. Some prefer small gatherings.

A walking buddy
Tea or coffee
Lunch companion
Book or conversation friend

Faith or spiritual companion
Widow or widower circle

Small gatherings

No cold meetups. Start with a warm introduction.

Many families prefer to begin with a short video or phone introduction. Your family member can join for the first few minutes, introduce you, and then step away if you feel comfortable.

You can also choose to start with family-to-family messaging before deciding whether to meet.

We do not ask you to meet strangers. We help families make warm introductions.

Your privacy matters.

  • Your profile is not public
  • Nothing is shared without your approval
  • You can hide or remove photos
  • You can decline any introduction
  • Tell us if anything feels off, and we step in.
  • First meetups should be public and daytime
  • No one should ask you for money, favors, or private financial information
  • A family member can help coordinate if you want

Common questions

Is this a dating site?

No. Pitch Your Parent is for friendship and companionship, not romance.

Will my child control my profile?

No. Your family can help create a draft, but you approve what is shared.

Do I have to meet anyone?

No. You can review introductions and decide what feels right.

Can I change my mind?

Yes. You can pause, edit, or remove your profile.

What if I do not use apps?

That is okay. A family member can help coordinate, or you can receive introductions by phone, email, or with family support.

Can I bring a family member to the first meeting?

Yes. Many people prefer that.

You are more than a profile.

Your stories, humor, memories, skills, faith, recipes, travels, work, family, and favorite routines all matter. Pitch Your Parent helps others see the person your family already knows.
