Forget the dinner
Casual dating, whatever you fancy
Since 2008 the idea hasn’t changed: you don’t need a booked table to find out whether there’s a spark.
Say what you’re after on your profile, meet people near you who want the same thing, and take it from there. A one-off, something regular or good company with no promises attached: it’s all casual dating, and nobody here minds which you pick.

- Date on the go with your mobile. Add the site to your home screen and it opens like an app.
Your call
You decide what’s seen
Your real name and email stay private. Other members see a username and your nearest town or city, never your address. Sensitive images arrive blurred until the person looking chooses to see them, and anyone can be blocked or reported in a tap.
