Success Stories

I met someone with whom I have been on two dates and we have fallen completely in love. It's as if we have been waiting for each other all our lives. This will sounds completely nuts! It might be. But a chance for happiness has come along after a decades for me of a very unhappy, abusive marriage. Fairytales do happen.

I hit it off with him and we are having a wonderful time. Kindred, positive, slight opposite in that he’s a Scientist and I’m not. We go dancing most weekends!.
Josie, 17 April 2024
I have met a very genuine, attractive and lovely lady with whom I have been pursuing a long term relationship over the past several months. I have been delighted with the site.

Singles in Edinburgh

With nearly half of its population single (49%), there's never been a better time to start your dating adventure in Edinburgh. Luckily, the city is well-versed in fun and romantic date options, so there should be something to everyone's liking.

Edinburgh's many cafes, restaurants, and bars provide ample opportunity for the perfect date night, whether that's sipping on cocktails, enjoying an evening of fine dining, or eating plenty of haggis, neeps, and tatties.

Scotland is known for its rich varieties of whisky, and Edinburgh can offer you and your date a world-class whisky tour that'll leave you both feeling rather merry. But while Scotland's renowned for its whisky, their gin's pretty great too. So why not take your date of a tour of the Edinburgh Gin Distillery if that's more to your tasting?

There's plenty on the cultural scene too, with Edinburgh's many museums and art galleries. And history buffs might want to add a trip to Edinburgh Castle and the monarch's official residence at Holyroodhouse to their list.

Or, if you'd prefer some quiet time to chat and get to know each other, a picnic or walk around one of Edinburgh's city gardens will do just the job. The Botanical Gardens, Dunbar's Close, and Dr Neil's Garden are must-visits.

So if you're a single man or woman looking for love in Edinburgh, why not join Rest Less Dating today? We've helped many people find love through our dating site, and we're keen to help you find your perfect love-match next.
