MatureNeighbourhood: The Official Online Dating Site for Mature Singles
MatureNeighbourhood is an online dating site for mature singles, and joining it costs nothing.
Free sign-up is only the first step, and it’s not always clear what to fill in or when you’ll need to pay. This article shows you how to find members near you, start chatting, and know what each step costs.
MatureNeighbourhood is the official dating website for mature singles
MatureNeighbourhood is an online dating site for mature singles. Joining is free, so you can start without paying anything.
Open a web browser on your computer, phone or tablet and go to the official MatureNeighbourhood website. The site works on all three, so you can sign up from whichever device you have at hand.
You must be at least 18, or older than the age of majority where you live if that age is higher. Check this before you create an account.
The age of majority is 19 in British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut and Yukon. If you are 18 there, wait until your 19th birthday. Everywhere else in Canada, 18 is enough.
Signing up for free takes only an email address or a Google account
Signing up for MatureNeighbourhood is free. You can start your account with an email address or with your Google account, whichever you already use.
If you already have a Google account, it’s the quicker choice, because you don’t have to type in an address. Either way, the registration itself costs you nothing.
Each route asks for different details, and both end with the same final check:
- Email registration asks for your gender, sexual orientation, date of birth, location, email address, username and password.
- Google sign-up asks you for nothing to type, because your name and email address are imported from your Google account.
- With email, click the link sent to your inbox to confirm the address, or the registration won’t be complete.
- For both routes, work through the six-step check to accept the site’s terms before you use the account.
Your profile settings shape the matches we suggest to you
Your profile settings decide which match suggestions you receive. If you fill them in carefully, the suggestions will be closer to the kind of person you want to meet.
You can also search and browse profiles yourself, so you are not limited to the suggestions. Use both: settings send you matches, and search lets you look further.
Start with your location. When you register by email, you add it there, and that is what lets the site show you people nearby. After a Google sign-up, the site collects location details, so check that they are correct.
Adding photos to your own profile is free, so add a few clear ones. Sending photos to another member is paid, so keep that for people you really want to talk to.
How to search and browse member profiles close to where you live
There are two ways to find members. You can browse the profiles that appear on the site, or you can search for profiles yourself. Browsing shows you whatever appears, while search lets you choose who you look at.
Once you have entered your location, search lets you focus on profiles near you. Enter it first, then run a search to see members who live close to you.
Free members can also do three things that help them find the right people:
- Save profiles to your favourites, so you can come back to the people you liked without searching for them again.
- Check who has visited your profile, and decide whether to look at them back.
- Complete your profile settings and details, including your location. The more complete your profile, the better the site knows what you want, so your match suggestions and search results fit you more closely.
Messaging members runs on credits, bought in one-off packs
Free members can’t send direct messages. Writing to someone takes credits, which you spend on each message or photo you send. Credits come in one-off packs that never renew, so you pay only when you decide to buy more.
Unused credits expire after three months, and they can’t be refunded. So buy a pack only when you plan to write soon. Chats allow text, photos and emojis, but no video calls or live chat.
Reported message prices run from CAD 1.90 to CAD 3.75 each, and pack prices vary a lot, so compare the options below and confirm the exact price and terms at checkout before you pay.
| Item | 4 credits | 4 credits (separate pack) | 10 credits | 25 credits | 100 credits | 300 credits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Credits | 4 | 4 | 10 | 25 | 100 | 300 |
| Reported price (CAD) | 12 | 15 | 18.90 | 75 | 225 | 450 |
| Pack type | Bundle | Separate pack | Bundle | Bundle | Bundle | Bundle |
Privacy and safety: how we protect your data and who runs the site
MatureNeighbourhood is run by White Castle Design BV, based at Lorentzweg 22-A, 2964LN Groot-Ammers, Netherlands. For account problems, write to support@matureneighbourhood.com. For payment questions, write to billing@matureneighbourhood.com.
Your personal data is protected by technical and organisational measures against loss or unlawful use. Those measures cannot guarantee complete protection, so keep bank details and your full address out of your messages.
Some profiles carry a heart icon. They are fictitious, made for entertainment, and you cannot meet them in person. When you see one, don’t expect a real date.
Take a few minutes before you join or pay: read the terms, then the privacy statement, which covers cookies and third-party service providers. Use care with personal details, especially when paying to message someone.
Joining MatureNeighbourhood is free, and a free account already lets you browse, search and save profiles. You only pay when you decide to write to someone.
Your next step is to open the official MatureNeighbourhood website on your computer, phone or tablet and sign up. Enter your location early, so the site can show you people nearby.
