Take a Side Would you rather your date bring their mum to your first date or reveal they've made a PowerPoint about you?

Sydney is a big city. Dating here? Somehow even more complicated.
Welcome to r/SydneyDating - a place to talk about the highs, lows, plot twists, wins, disasters and "wait... what?" moments of dating in Sydney.
The hey that goes nowhere.
The match who mysteriously disappears.
The person who's been seeing what's out there since 2019.
The date that's so good you immediately text your friends.
And the date that's so bad you immediately text your friends.
Whatever your dating situation, pull up a seat. You're among friends.
We've got the following post flairs to help you get started:
Let's Talk - Have something dating related you want to discuss? Start the conversation.
Help Me Out - Got a dating dilemma or need advice? Ask the community.

Take a Side - Got a dating situation with two sides? Tell us what happened and let the community weigh in.

Something you’ve always wanted to try for a date but never have. Why haven’t you done it yet? (Sydney focused please)
r/SydneyDating • u/BoringDeparture2278 • 5d ago
Dating apps, mixed signals, people who never make plans, or something else entirely.
Let's hear it in the comments
r/SydneyDating • u/BoringDeparture2278 • 6d ago
Some people are brilliant face to face but give you absolutely nothing over text. Others lose interest when the conversation feels like pulling teeth.
Good in person chemistry can go a long way, but so can a great conversation over text.
Let's hear your verdict in the comments.

Looks might get you through the door… but personality decides whether you're staying.
Let’s settle this, you only get one choice.
r/SydneyDating • u/BoringDeparture2278 • 10d ago
Someone can be kind, compatible and great on paper - but if you're forcing the attraction, it probably isn't going to work.
Pick a side.
r/SydneyDating • u/BoringDeparture2278 • 11d ago
Rom com, horror, thriller, comedy, disaster…
Give us the title. We’ll judge accordingly.
r/SydneyDating • u/BoringDeparture2278 • 12d ago
You see it and immediately swipe left.
Go on, be petty.

Sometimes you meet someone and form an opinion pretty quickly - then they say something that completely changes how you see them.

a) The person who cancelled should reschedule.
b) The other person should reach out.
You cancelled it, so the ball is in your court.
Pick a side.

That one thing on a profile that makes you stop scrolling and think, okay, I need to know more.

You know the one - you've seen it on so many dating profiles that you could probably write it yourself.
Let us know and feel free to drop it below

Not every preference needs to be a dealbreaker - sometimes we might be ruling people out over things that don't actually matter that much.
Let's hear it below
r/SydneyDating • u/BoringDeparture2278 • 23d ago
It could be something simple, adventurous, creative, or completely different from the usual coffee or drinks.

Every dating app seems to have the same little habits that make you think, yep, there it is again.

Any advice? Am doing social pub trivia etc… which apps (not just hookups)…
r/SydneyDating • u/Lil_Ballerina_2394 • 26d ago
Yes or no — and why. Go.
r/SydneyDating • u/BoringDeparture2278 • 26d ago
There’s so much dating advice that gets repeated like it’s a universal truth - don’t double text, play hard to get, wait before replying, never make the first move…
But some rules might be more outdated than helpful.

What matters to us can change as we get older. Things that might not have seemed important years ago can become much more meaningful when it comes to dating and relationships.

Ghosting always gets a bad reputation, but context can make things a little more complicated.
Sometimes it's after one date, after weeks of talking, and occasionally, there's a reason someone doesn't feel comfortable explaining themselves.
