About Mature Casual: Grown-Up Fun, Done Properly

Dating at 48 is a different game, and a better one

Mature Casual exists because dating at 48 or 63 is not the same as dating at 25. The questions are different. Will they mind the grown-up children? Will they understand that I want flirting, excitement and the odd night between the sheets, not a new mortgage? Can I flirt like I mean it at 55?

Mature Casual is set up for people asking exactly those questions. It is the over-40s section of Casual.uk, and it is unapologetically casual: no-strings dates, regular arrangements and the kind of honesty about desire that tends to arrive with a few more birthdays.

Part of Casual.uk, keeping UK dating casual since 2014

Mature Casual is a section of Casual.uk, which has offered casual dating in the UK since 2014. Casual.uk is one site with five communities: Single Casual, Naughty Casual, Mature Casual, MILF Casual and BBW Casual, each with its own members and its own sign-up. Between them they have over 2,000 members.

The site runs on the HubPeople dating platform, which powers the profiles, daily matches, messages, the members' feed and the memberships. It works in any phone or computer browser and can be saved to your home screen like an app.

Who you will be flirting with

More than 250 members belong to Mature Casual. Most are between 35 and 64, and close to one in four is a woman. Greater London is the busiest area. Set the age range you want and say what you are after, and your daily matches take both into account.

Five house rules for grown-ups

Be honest

Recent photos, your real age and a fair description. Nobody enjoys a surprise at the bar.

Be clear

Say what you are looking for, so nobody's evening is wasted.

Take no for an answer

A polite "not for me" ends the conversation. Anyone who keeps pushing can be blocked and reported.

Ask before anything explicit

Check before you send a saucy photo. One nobody asked for kills the mood faster than anything.

Keep it discreet

What someone shares in private stays private.

Have a proper look around

The features page runs through matches, messages and badges, the safety page has frank advice on first meets, scams and sexual health, and the pricing page lists every VIP option. For advice on casual dating at any age, see the Casual.uk guides.
