For anyone who's single again
Fish For Singles is for people starting over. Maybe a relationship ended last month, maybe a marriage ended a few years ago, or maybe you simply haven't dated in a long time and the whole thing feels a bit unfamiliar. You don't need a reason to be here, and nobody will ask for one.
Go in at whatever pace suits you. Some people dip a toe in and browse for a few weeks before they say hello; others are ready to meet someone soon. Both are fine. If you're wondering whether it's too soon, start with how long to wait before dating again. If you're separated but not yet divorced, dating while separated sets out the rules in each part of the UK. Parents will find dating while you co-parent and introducing children to a new partner useful.
The guides are written for the UK first. Members can also join from Ireland, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a few other countries.

UK members pay in pounds and US members in dollars. Prices as set for the members area on 8 November 2026; the members area always shows the exact price before you pay.

One thing worth knowing up front: Fish For Singles shares its member database with partner dating sites in the same network. Members who joined through those sites can see your profile and message you, and you can see and message them; each profile shows which site its owner joined through. The how it works page explains this properly, and the prices page covers renewals and refunds.
Safe from the first hello
Every photo is reviewed before it goes live. Members can add an optional ID check to their profile and get a badge, so you can see who has, and you can report or block anyone from their profile. What members write about themselves isn't checked, so the old rules still apply.
Meet somewhere public the first time, tell a friend where you'll be and who you're meeting, and get there and back under your own steam. Never send money to someone you haven't met, however good the story or however long you've been talking.
If you think you're talking to a scammer, stop replying and report it. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland that's Report Fraud, online or on 0300 123 2040. In Scotland, call Police Scotland on 101. If you're in danger, call 999. The safety page has the full detail, our guide to spotting a romance scam lists the warning signs, and online dating when you're out of practice covers the basics if it's all new.
Who's behind Fish For Singles
Fish For Singles is run by High Intent Media Inc, a Delaware corporation. The members area, where you sign up, pay and message, is run by the same company and shared with partner sites in the network.
Your bank statement shows the billing name displayed at checkout, which may be a network name rather than "Fish For Singles", so it's worth noting it when you pay. Photos are reviewed and the ID badge is optional; what members write about themselves isn't checked. Read about the site and who runs it, the one-page key facts, or our straight answer to whether Fish For Singles is legit.
