We connect you with local individuals seeking companionship, so you can send a message and feel comfortable before meeting in real life. You might start with a casual coffee at Trading Post Coffee Roasters or a gentle walk near the Brighton Pavilion.

Advice for an enjoyable first date
Feeling slightly apprehensive before a first date is natural. The key is to focus on getting to know the other person and seeing if you share a great connection without any pressure. Here are our top tips:
- Choose a public and relaxed venue where the atmosphere is calm enough to chat
- Take a gentle stroll along the seafront towards Brighton Pier to keep the conversation flowing
- Meet for a light daytime lunch or coffee rather than a long evening meal
- Visit a local gallery or museum if you both appreciate art to give you an easy topic to discuss
- Keep the first meeting relatively short so you both leave feeling positive and relaxed
