What speed-dating seniors can teach us about love

The new documentary The Age of Love challenges society's patronizing attitude toward those looking for love in their later years.

Call them interesting, adventurous, daring -- but please don't call them cute. Steven Loring's new documentary, The Age of Love, follows a group of senior speed daters and offers a non-patronizing take on looking for love after 70.

Today Loring and speed dater Janice Ledtke join guest host Talia Schlanger to discuss the stereotypes surrounding older singles, the thrill of making new connections at any age, and why some feelings -- from first date jitters to rejection blues -- are the same whether you're 18 or 80.
