While online dating offers convenience and accessibility, it often fails to address individuals' deeper emotional and psychological needs. In addition, the pressure to present oneself idealistically can further contribute to feelings of inadequacy and stress.
Your Pace or Mine aims to address this gap by providing an alternative approach to dating and socialising. With a community of over 700 members, we provide a safe and inclusive space for individuals to connect and build meaningful relationships, whether that be friendship or romance. By fostering personal connections through fortnightly walks, and monthly social events, we aim to create an environment where individuals can authentically connect and support one another.

Our community provides a supportive and enriching environment where individuals can truly be themselves."
