In 2025 the dating world has changed. Swiping, ghosting, endless texting…it can all feel a bit exhausting, can’t it? Whether you're re-entering the dating scene after a long relationship or you've been navigating it for a while, many singles are telling us the same thing: they're looking for something more real, more enjoyable, and less stressful.

Why is dating so different now?

In the past decade, online dating has exploded with a range of dating apps.  While apps are convenient, they're also a lot of work! It can feel like a full-time job with very little payoff. Hours of scrolling, messaging, and the uncertainty of who’s really behind the profile photo. Are they genuine? Are they real? 

Especially for men and women in their 40s, 50s and 60s, dating apps can be demanding when you're busy juggling other things - work, kids, life! 

Add to that the stress of planning and going on a one-on-one date with a stranger.   

The good news is: there’s a better way.

A better dating experience

A Table For Six brings singles together for relaxed, friendly dinners in real life. No awkward one-on-one first dates. No pressure to choose the right bar or restaurant.  No stress about who will pay.  Let us do all the planning.  You just turn up!  Join in for great food, great conversation, and a small group of singles who are open to connection.

The concept is simple:

• You’re seated with 5 other fabulous singles (3 men, 3 women)

• You meet at a great restaurant in your city

• You enjoy a meal, some laughs, and see if there’s a spark with someone

No swiping. No pressure. Just real people, in real life.

Why does this work so well?

1. It’s relaxed and natural
There’s something about sitting around a table with others, sharing a meal, that just makes people feel more at ease. You’re not under the spotlight, and it’s not all about romance right away – it’s about having a good time, sharing conversation and laughter.

2. It’s social – but not overwhelming
You’re meeting 5 other people, so there’s a natural flow to the evening. You get to talk, listen, laugh, and learn more about everyone at the table. 

3. It’s a great fit for mature singles
Our members tend to be in their 40s, 50s and 60s – successful, interesting people who are ready to meet someone new but don’t want to waste time with dating games. Everyone is there for the same reason – to meet new people in a low-pressure environment.

What men are telling us

We often hear from men who’ve tried online dating and felt like it wasn’t for them. Maybe they were unsure about what to say online, or tired of matches who never replied.

With dinner dating, things feel more genuine. You're meeting someone face-to-face. There’s chemistry (or there isn’t), and you know right away. You don’t have to be a slick texter or have the perfect profile pic – you just have to show up, be yourself, and enjoy the evening.

What women love about it

Women tell us they feel safer and more comfortable at a group dinner. There’s no pressure to impress or perform. You’re not alone on a blind date with someone you’ve never met. It’s more fun, more relaxed – and most importantly, it leads to better connections.
