Public places you can both picture, and leave whenever you want.

Cork city and County Cork are different journeys. The English Market is a sound first meeting in the city. Say which side of the Lee you mean, and do not treat Dublin as a short hop.

Questions about dating in Ireland
Is We Love Dates free in Ireland?
Joining, browsing and sending messages are free. Membership is what lets you read and reply to messages. Prices are on the membership page, and you can stop renewal in Account Settings. Cost is the usual worry, and sending a message stays free.
Who is on it?
Adults who have joined and put a place on their profile. Dublin and Cork have the fullest guides. There are 2m+ members across our dating network. We do not publish a count for Ireland. Name the city or the county, because those are different journeys.
How soon can I meet someone near me?
You can send a message as soon as your account is open. Put your area on your profile, whether that is Dublin, Cork or a smaller town, so people can see whether the journey is realistic. The people you will meet are adults who have put a place on their profile.
Is it safe?
Messages are screened automatically; you can report and block from your account. An optional ID check adds a badge only to the person who takes it. Keep the first meeting in a public place. Name the town, agree a place you can both leave, and keep the bus, the DART or the taxi in your own hands.
What about privacy?
You do not need a photo to join. Your email is for the account, not for the profile to display. Help with the account is in the help centre. St Stephen's Green and Phoenix Park in daylight are easy public plans, and the DART covers Howth and Dun Laoghaire when the coast is the point.
About dating in Ireland
If you searched for free dating sites in Ireland, here is the plain version. You can join, look through profiles and send a message without paying. Membership is what lets you read and reply. We Love Dates has been running since 2010, with 2m+ members across our dating network. Messages are screened automatically before they land.
The people you will meet are adults who have put a place on their profile. Dublin and Cork have their own guides because a city centre, a suburb and a county are different evenings. These pages are about the Republic. If you mean Belfast, that guide sits with the UK cities, not here.
In Dublin, a first meeting might be St Stephen's Green, a walk by the Grand Canal, or Phoenix Park in daylight. The DART makes Howth and Dun Laoghaire a lovely outing when you both want the coast. If one of you is in Rathmines and the other is in Howth, choose a stop between you, or save the coast for a day you both want it. Say the neighbourhood before you call it close.
In Cork, say city or county in the first messages. County Cork can be a long drive from the centre, and the two sides of the Lee are different walks. The English Market is a busy public place in the city, easy to describe and easy to leave. Dublin is its own journey from Cork, so give it a separate day.
Cost is the usual worry. Sending a message stays free. You choose a plan only when you want to read replies and write back, and the prices are on the membership page. You can stop renewal in Account Settings. An optional ID check adds a verified badge to your profile, so people know you are who you say. You do not need a photo to join.
For the first meeting, name the town, pick a busy public place, tell a friend, and keep your own way home. If a chat turns into a request for money, a voucher or a parcel, stop and use report and block. If the first week is quiet, widen the distance you will travel and send two more messages.
