Our Philosophy

Dates with mates understands that not all gay men looking for a long term relationship will find their partner by random chance, in a bar or online. Dates with mates facilitates introductions between discerning gay men who are looking for a long-term relationship and who have:

• decided to find a partner
• come out of a relationship and are looking for a new partner
• given up on meeting a partner on a blind date or in a bar
• never previously contemplated a personalised dating service

Dates with mates is aware of the need in the gay community for a completely personalised, face-to-face professional introduction service. You are assured of discretion and confidentiality.

Dates with mates is a discreet and safe way to meet your ideal partner. Our consultants have personally interviewed all your potential dates. Dates with mates’ consultants are friendly, personable and skilled interviewers. As well as being gay, they are your modern day matchmakers. Our consultants operate under a strict code of conduct and are committed to providing our members with a high level of personal service and attention.



How we work for you
Dates with mates carefully considers its potential members. Our membership consists of carefully screened gay men who are also committed to finding a special relationship.

Once you take the step to contact us to help you find your partner, one of our consultants will contact you to arrange a personal interview at a convenient time and place.
Once we form the view that we can do something for you, we will:

• complete a detailed questionnaire with you;
• identify what you would like in a potential partner; and
• take a digital photograph of you at the interview.

Dates with mates guarantees confidentiality. We do not show potential members a collection of photographs. Personal information is exchanged between members only by agreement.

Introductions are based on your criteria. Our consultants then carefully scan our entire membership to identify the best possible mates to meet you. We make the initial contact with a potential date, and then the two of you can decide when and where to meet.

A Standard Membership with Dates with mates runs for six months, during which we will endeavour to arrange up to five introductions. A Premium Membership is available on request.

We would appreciate your feedback after your date, so as to help us with your future dates, if required. We can’t guarantee you'll fall in love, but we’ll certainly broaden your opportunities.


At Dates with Mates, we are dedicated to finding true relationships. Currently we operate in Sydney only. We are proud of our unique personalised service, where we meet each and every one of our members. Let us find your mate.
