Nottingham and Notts
Naughty Dating Nottingham: Meet Up for a Cheeky Pint
Flirty Notts singles, old pubs with caves in the sandstone and a tram home at the end of the night.
Two Universities, One Very Sociable City
Nottingham runs on two calendars. In term time the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent fill Hockley and the Market Square with noise; the rest of the year, the grown-ups get their pubs back.
Either way it's a friendly, walkable city with a cheeky streak, and Naughty Dating gives Notts adults somewhere to flirt, chat and trade photos before deciding whether to meet. Nobody's pretending it's anything more serious than a bit of fun, and your real name never appears: you're a username from your nearest town.
It's all part of naughty dating in the UK, and joining is free.
From West Bridgford to Mansfield
There are 50 or so Naughty Dating members across Nottinghamshire. That's the county, not just the city: Mansfield, Newark and Worksop count, and so do Beeston, Arnold and West Bridgford on the city's doorstep. Small enough to feel local, and your matches lean on distance, so the people nearest you show up first.
Shares of our members across Nottinghamshire, from our member records.
It's a proper spread of ages. About a quarter are under 35, two in five are 35 to 44, one in seven is 45 to 54 and one in five is 55 or over, so the student buzz outside doesn't mean a student crowd on here.
Pick Your Patch for a First Drink
The centre is small enough to walk, and every corner has its own mood. All three of these are central, public and a short stroll from a tram stop.
| Where | The feel | Meet at |
|---|---|---|
| Castle Rock | Old stone, caves and a pint with a past | Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, which claims to be England's oldest inn |
| Market Square | Slap in the middle of everything | The Malt Cross, a bar in a Victorian music hall |
| Lace Market | Red-brick warehouses and cocktails | Pitcher & Piano, inside a Gothic chapel with Morris & Co. stained glass |
Hockley, next door to the Lace Market, is where the indie bars and late coffee live, and it's handy for a second round. For where the evening goes after that, try our naughty date ideas.
Trams, Trains and the Towns Around Notts
NET trams run out to Hucknall, Phoenix Park, Toton Lane and Clifton South, with Line 1 passing the University of Nottingham and Beeston on the way. The Robin Hood Line brings Mansfield and Worksop in by train, and Derby is a quick hop west, just over the county line: widen your distance and your matches cross it.
Further afield there's naughty dating in Sheffield to the north and naughty dating in Birmingham to the south-west. Start with naughty dating near me, or browse every city we cover.
Meet by the Lions, Get Home Safe
Notts is friendly, but a first meeting is still a first meeting. A few local habits help:
- Meet in the middle. "Meet you by the left lion" has been the city's meeting point for generations, and the Council House steps are never quiet for long.
- Keep it on the site until you've met. If a match pushes for WhatsApp in the first few messages, you'll get a warning, and it's worth heeding.
- Look for the badge. It's earned with a free ID check, and our guide to the signs of a fake dating profile covers the rest.
- Get yourself home. Trams run late but not all night, so plan the trip back and tell a friend where you are.
Blocking, reporting and the rest of our checks live on the safety page.
Asked Around Notts
Can we have our first drink in one of Nottingham's caves?
You can. Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is built into the sandstone of Castle Rock, and its cave rooms make a first drink you'll both remember, whatever happens next.
Can I meet someone from Mansfield or Newark?
Yes. Our Nottingham figure covers the whole county, Mansfield and Newark included, and your distance setting decides how far your matches reach.
Does naughty dating in Nottingham cover Derby too?
Derby sits just over the border in Derbyshire, so it isn't in our Nottingham figure, but widen your distance and your matches will reach it. Direct trains link the two cities at least twice an hour.
Where's handy for a first drink if I don't know Nottingham?
Head for the Market Square. It's the middle of the city, the trams stop right there, and the Malt Cross is a minute or two away on St James's Street.
