Singles Near Me: Meet Local Singles for Casual Dates
Set how far you will go, and your daily matches come from people close by.
To find singles near you on Forget Dinner, create a profile, set your age range and distance, and check your daily matches, which favour people close by. Members see your nearest town or city, never your address.
How Forget Dinner finds people near you
Say where you are
Tell the site your town or city. It is the only location other members ever see.
Set your range
Choose the age range and the distance you will travel. Matches follow both.
Check the daily matches
Each day brings new suggestions that weigh distance alongside what each of you wants.
Narrow it down
VIP members can filter by city, distance and what someone is open to.
Close, but not too close
Local without being exposed
You can meet people nearby without telling anyone where you live.
- Nearest town or city
- That is all other members see. Your address and live location stay private.
- A username, not a name
- Your real name and email are never shown, even when you are chatting with someone around the corner.
- Block and report
- If a local contact will not take no for an answer, block them in a tap and they cannot see your profile.
Across the UK
Members up and down the country
Forget Dinner has members all over the UK, with the biggest groups in London and the surrounding counties, Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, the West Midlands, Merseyside, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Tyne and Wear. In every area, the daily matches are built around how far you are prepared to go.
Choose your city for somewhere to take a first date that is not a sit-down dinner:
- London
- Manchester
- Birmingham
- Glasgow
- Edinburgh
- Leeds
- Liverpool
- Bristol
- Newcastle
- Cardiff
- Sheffield
- Nottingham
Every city page is on the date ideas hub, with more places to choose from.
Your range
How far is near enough?
Pick a distance you would happily travel on a weeknight.
In a big city, ten minutes by bus or Tube can be plenty, and a tight range keeps every meeting easy. Outside the big cities, it can help to stretch the range to the next town so there is more to look at. If the suggestions dry up, widen it by a little rather than a lot, and see who appears.
Local also makes casual dating simpler: a spontaneous drink after work is realistic when you live twenty minutes apart and a plan to meet next month is not.

First meeting
Meeting someone who lives nearby
Being close makes it easy to meet and easy to rush. Take your time, and use the same few habits every time.
Do
- Chat on the site until you are sure.
- Pick somewhere busy and not too close to home.
- Tell a friend where you are going.
- Keep it to a drink or a walk the first time.
Skip
- Sharing your address or workplace early.
- Moving to another app because someone insists.
- Accepting a lift from a first date.
- Sending money for any reason.
The safety page has the full list of protections, and first date ideas help you plan the meeting.
Wondering how local it gets?
How do I find singles in my area?
Join Forget Dinner, give your town or city, and set the distance and age range you want. Your daily match suggestions then favour people near you, and VIP members can also filter by city and distance to narrow the list.
Is there a dating site near me?
Forget Dinner is a UK casual dating site, so members are spread across the country, with the biggest groups in and around London, Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, the West Midlands, Merseyside and Scotland’s two biggest cities.
Can people see exactly where I live?
No. Other members see only your nearest town or city, and your real name and email are never shown. Your address and live location stay private, and you can block anyone who makes you uncomfortable.
How far away are my matches?
As far as you decide. You set the distance you will travel, and the daily suggestions weigh it along with age range, how active people are and the kind of dating they want. Widen or narrow it whenever you like.
