Making Connections
Dates-n-Mates facilitate a variety of friendship, dating, and relationship opportunities.



Friendship
Dates-n-Mates provide opportunities for members to meet new people and develop new friendships throughout all of our social events. Each activity is focused on connecting people and creating a fun and meaningful social life.
We also offer friendship matching, online and in-person, to help match members with similar interests. Chaperones will be offered for the first meet, if required.
If you are looking to make new friends, Dates-n-Mates is where you need to be!
Dating & Relationships
Dates-n-Mates offer dating events such as mix ‘n’ mingle, speed dating, Blind Date and Take Me Out.
We can also help arrange and chaperone first dates for anyone looking for a little extra support and encouragement.
Our training workshops provide an opportunity for members to develop their confidence, communication skills and their understanding relating to dating and relationships.
Looking for that someone special? Dates-n-Mates may be able to help!
