Affair dating: frank, discreet, no judgement
By Lottie Williams, Head of Content
Updated
Some people on No Strings Dating are married or in a relationship, and their partner does not know. We are not here to judge that, or to sell it. This section is a straight answer to what people search for, with what the site genuinely offers and what we ask in return.
Covered here, but not what we are
No Strings Dating is a casual dating site. Most members are single. Some are in open relationships, some are part of couples who play together, and some are looking for an affair. Nobody has to explain themselves, and everybody should know what they are walking into.
That is why the Relationship setup answer exists. Saying "Partner doesn't know" on your full profile is not a confession; it is a courtesy to the people you message, and it saves everyone an awkward conversation later.
How it works on No Strings Dating
Your profile has a Relationship setup answer, with "Partner doesn't know" among the options. It only shows on your full profile, never on cards, so people who read you properly know where you stand. "Discreet affair" is one of the things you can say you are up for, and the Discretion answer lets you choose "Discretion appreciated" or "Discretion essential".
Privacy is built in: profiles never appear on public pages or in search engines, any photo but your main one can be private until you share it, payments show under a neutral company name, and you can block anyone you know so they no longer see you.
Find your corner
Each has its own page with more detail.
- Married dating: what to think about first, and how to be upfront with the people you meet.
- Discreet affairs: protecting your own privacy on the site, and respecting theirs.
If your partner knows
Then this is not really an affair, and you may find more in common with people on our swingers and couples pages. Open relationship dating covers dating on your own with your partner's blessing, and our guide to swinging and open relationships explains the rest.
The line we hold
No Strings Dating is a casual dating site, not an affair site. We do not judge why you are here, and we will not cheer you on either. What we ask is simple: be honest with the person you meet about your situation. They are taking a risk too, and they deserve to choose it knowingly.
Our privacy advice is about protecting your own information. We will never help anyone deceive the person they are meeting, or read, track or monitor anyone else. It is dating, not a marketplace: nobody pays or is paid for company or sex. Every member is over 18 and has passed an age check, and whatever happens, happens in private.
The honest part
Affairs carry real emotional risk: for you, for your partner and for the person you meet. Feelings do not always stay where you put them, and secrets have a way of getting out. Go in with your eyes open, and be kind to everyone involved, yourself included.
Sexual health matters more when someone at home is affected without having a say. Use condoms, and test regularly. In the UK, NHS sexual health clinics are free and confidential, and staff will not tell anyone what you discuss without your permission, including your GP. Our Safety Centre lists free services in every country we serve.
