Why choose Telegraph Dating

The Telegraph is home to one of the oldest and best-known mature dating communities, with a long history of match-making its single readers. Dating originally appeared in the newspaper under the name Kindred Spirits back in the early 1990s and then moved online in 2005, changing its name to Telegraph Dating a few years later.

Since launch, our service has gone from strength-to-strength and whilst many other things have changed in the world, Telegraph Dating's goal remains the same: to add love, romance and fun to the lives of single people. Uniquely, some of the team behind the service have been a part of it for over 25 years, and we're all still passionate about providing members with a high-quality dating experience. Our fantastic, UK-based customer service staff continue to check every new members' profile and picture before they appear online and are also there to advise you on all aspects of the service, including online safety.

Together, we've helped tens of thousands of people start their online dating adventures, resulting in many happy and lasting relationships, not to mention weddings and babies too.

We're delighted that you're thinking about joining Telegraph Dating, and if it's your first time using online dating, you'll be glad to know it's quick and easy to join the service. After filling out our questionnaire, we'll need to check your details and once approved, you'll be able to view your best matches and find new people to connect with. It doesn't matter whether you're single, divorced or widowed, as you take this exciting step towards finding your soulmate, we'll be here to support and help you.

If you want to know more about how the service works do take a look at our FAQs or drop us a line. Don't forget to read our community guidelines and safety page too as they contain important tips and advice.

Success Stories

I met my lady online in February. She lives in France but I flew out to meet her and we clicked immediately. We are now spending most of our time together in one place or another.

John, 27 June 2026

I met a fantastic lady and we are made for each other

Peter, 25 May 2026

I have been with a suitable lady now for about 4 months and will shortly be moving in with her. When we first met face to face, both of us knew we were meant to be together.
