Meet over-40s singles across Manchester

Few cities have the warmth and wit of Manchester. From its music and football to its canals, coffee shops and green suburbs, it's a place that mixes big-city buzz with genuine, down-to-earth friendliness, and that same openness carries into its dating scene.

Lots of our over-40s and over-50s members across Greater Manchester are looking for a proper companion rather than a quick fling. Whether you're in the city itself or one of the surrounding towns, there are plenty of like-minded people close by.

MatureFreeAndSingle has been part of the UK dating world since 2008, run by a couple who met online and know first-hand that love can arrive at any age. In Manchester that means a friendly, no-nonsense community where you can be yourself.
