General Questions

 I’m not sure about internet dating sites

You’d be surprised just how many people are already using internet dating sites. It is fast becoming one of the most popular ways to meet people in the UK. The changing pace of city life is increasingly leaving people with less and less time to meet and socialise in new circles. Why limit yourself to chance encounters on nights out, the office talent or matchmaking mates? Life’s too short!

AussieSocial moves away from the outdated image of pastel colours, bored housewives, and divorcees being the only people online dating. AussieSocial is specifically targeted at young, single, savvy urbanites who want the chance to meet other like-minded people who they might not normally get to meet in their everyday life. Meeting people on AussieSocial can be fun and more effective than an old chat-up line in your local!

 Is it a safe way to meet people?

Meeting people online through AussieSocial is quite probably the safest way of meeting people! You never have to give away any of your personal details, such as your real email address, telephone number of home address to anyone unless you wish to do so and all correspondence is done via our anonymous messaging facility.

As with anything, use your common sense:

  • Don’t freely give out your contact details, e.g. your email address, home address, postcode, telephone number etc until you feel completely happy to do so
  • If you do decide to meet someone, always meet in a public place, and let a friend know where you will be. Always take your phone with you
  • Don’t accept a lift, however the kind the offer, and don’t invite someone into your home until you are completely happy to do so
  • Above all, trust your instincts and stay in control

 How do I join?

Joining AussieSocial is easy and completely FREE!

All you need to do is enter your details and a profile onto the site. You will then be sent an activation email to your personal email address you register with.

Third Party Events: Events and nights out advertised on AussieSocial are provided by third party partners. Any matter relating to cancellations or other matters such as loss or damage should be taken up directly with the third party in question. AussieSocial accepts no responsibility, and is in no way liable for any loss, cancellation or damage arising from a third party service.
