A bigger circle, same values
People from the next county over who'd fit your weekends perfectly, and who you'd never otherwise cross paths with.
Country singles who want the same life you do
Everyone here has already told you something true about how they live.
See who’s near youWhere do country singles actually meet people?
Increasingly online, because the village pub is a small sample and everyone in it already knows your business.
Rural social life is close-knit, which is lovely right up until you're single in it. The people you meet are the people you've always met. Widening that circle used to mean driving to a city and hoping.
Grounded widens it without dragging you into town. You see people across your county and the ones next to it, all of whom have said they want the same kind of life. What you do with that is up to you.
Discretion where you want it
Your real name and email are never shown, and your profile lists your nearest town rather than your address.
More than one-to-one
Chat rooms and group chats mean you can get a feel for people in company first, which suits a lot of members better than a cold message.
Discreet enough for a small community
Your real name and email are never shown. Your profile lists your nearest town, never your address, and never a live location.
You choose who sees what and when. Block anyone in one tap and they can't contact you or see you again.

Common questions
The things people ask first
What counts as a country single?
Anyone whose life is shaped by the countryside. That's farmers and smallholders, but equally walkers, riders, gardeners, dog owners, rural workers and people who simply feel better with space around them.
Is it free to join?
Yes. Profile, browsing and daily match suggestions are free. Free accounts have a daily message limit. VIP removes it and adds advanced search.
Will people I know see my profile?
Possibly, in the same way they might on any dating site. Your real name and email are never displayed, and your location shows as your nearest town. Plenty of members find it reassuring that the people nearby are the sort of people they'd want to meet anyway.
What ages are on Grounded?
The full range, with a strong concentration in the forties, fifties and sixties. The site is deliberately built to be readable and easy to use, with large type and clear buttons.
Other ways in
Same site, different door
Every one of these leads to the same members. Pick whichever sounds most like your week.
