It’s a real world dating experience. You answer our questionnaire which allows us to understand your dating non-negotiables (sexual orientation, age, values) and where you feel comfortable meeting someone new. Then you run through our ID verification procedures, join the waiting list and we set you up on a blind date. No swiping. No profiles. No texting involved.
A blind date is a prearranged meeting between two people who have never seen one another before, typically set up by a 3rd party, with the aim of exploring romantic potential. Correct. We believe chemistry and compatibility can only emerge in person, not through curated profiles. You won’t see photos or bios, just their name and your date plans, in person at a public venue. This would be based on your answers in the questionnaire. For example, a non drinking activity, novel location, restaurant etc.
That’s part of the experience, not every match will be magical. But every real life date helps you grow, learn and clarify what you’re looking for. If it’s a no, it’s just one coffee. No hard feelings, no ghosting.
Grounded Dating is not a subscription trap, we make it easier for you to get offline and go on real dates. So we charge a pay as you go price dependant on the social experience. Prices generally start from £20.

We work with local venues – coffee shops, pubs, galleries, bookshops. You tell us where you feel comfortable meeting someone new, and we do the rest.
Not quite. Speed dating involved meeting several people in one night for a few minutes each, Grounded Dating sets you up on one quality blind date at a time – with someone picked by our Grounded Matchmaker. It’s about real conversations, not rushing through them.
Grounded Dating was founded by Nadia Aghios, a female entrepreneur who has experienced and seen how the gamification of modern dating apps were not fuelling wider social problems – screen addiction, inequality and loneliness. Grounded is her mission driven response based on her research and passion in the field – a human first alternative to conventional swipe and text dating apps, built to help people date around personal growth, real world connection, not filters or algorithms.
