Where are the single people near you?
Dating lives or dies on distance: an hour each way and the second date rarely happens. That is why this site is sorted by state, by local area and by town. Pick your town, read how people meet there, then see who is looking nearby right now.

How to find single people in your part of Australia
The path is always the same: pick your state, pick your local area, pick your town. The town page tells you where people meet there, what a first date costs and what to watch for when you meet someone new.
Alongside that there are topic pages, from singles over 40 to speed dating, beach walk dates and country singles, which answer the same questions for one particular situation. If you want to move faster, set up a free profile at the same time and put the search radius at the distance you would genuinely drive on a Wednesday.
What online dating costs in Australia
Joining is free almost everywhere: build a profile, add photos, browse the suggestions and often receive a first message without paying anything.
Money usually comes in at unlimited messaging or a subscription with extra filters, somewhere between twenty and sixty dollars a month depending on the service and how long you commit for. The sensible order is to check for free whether there are enough active people inside your radius, and only then decide. Auto-renewal is by far the most common complaint, so note the date and cancel through the app store if you do not want another month.
Staying safe when you meet someone new
No address, no bank details, no intimate photos to anyone you have not met in person. First meeting in a public place, your own transport both ways, and someone who knows where you are.
Any request for money ends the conversation, without exception and without discussion. Someone who keeps refusing a video call usually has a reason. This site publishes no profiles and no contact details of any kind: it explains how meeting people works locally and links to dating sites where you sign up yourself, if you want to.

Common questions about meeting singles in Australia
How old do you have to be to use this site?
Eighteen. This site is for adults only, and the dating services it links to require the same. Reputable operators check age at sign-up and remove accounts that are reported as underage.
Does online dating work in small country towns?
Yes, provided the radius is right. A town of a few hundred people offers little on its own, but an hour's drive in the country covers thousands. That is why this site is organised by local area and lists the neighbouring towns on every page.
Do you publish profiles or personal ads?
No. There are no profiles, no ads and no contact details for any person anywhere on this site. It explains how people meet in each town and points to dating services where you decide for yourself whether to sign up.
Nothing on tonight?
Set up a free profile, sort the suggestions by distance and message the people who live less than half an hour away. That is all it takes to start.
