Unicorn Dates is a dating site for one kind of connection: a couple and a single person who want to meet each other. That might be a couple looking for a woman to share an evening with, a single man curious about dating a couple, or three people hoping something lasting might grow. Whatever the details, the shape is the same, and everything on the site is built around it.
Why a site just for couples and singles
Couples who look for a third on general dating apps run into the same problems again and again. Many singles they see have no interest in couples. Profiles built for one person cannot introduce two. Messages go unanswered because the other person was never looking for this in the first place. Singles have their own frustrations: being messaged by couples who have not talked things through, by one partner without the other's knowledge, or by people who treat them as a role rather than a person.
A focused site cannot solve every problem, but it removes the biggest one. Everyone here has chosen a place built only for couples and singles meeting each other. That shared starting point means conversations can move on quickly to the things that matter: chemistry, boundaries and whether you would enjoy a first drink together.
Who uses Unicorn Dates
When you sign up, you choose whether you are a man, a woman, a couple or CD/trans. Couples make up a large part of the community, and many are trying this for the first time. Some have been together for decades and want to explore something new side by side. Others are in open or poly relationships already and are looking for a regular partner. Singles include women and men who are curious about couples, people who have dated couples before and enjoyed it, and people who are drawn to the idea of joining a committed triad.
Members are mostly in the United States, with others in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. Our country guides explain how unicorn dating works in each of those places.
What we believe about unicorn dating
We think unicorn dating goes best when three things are true. First, both partners in the couple genuinely want it. Second, the single person is treated as a full participant with her own wishes and limits, not as an accessory to a relationship. Third, everyone talks openly about what they want, before they meet and afterwards.
Those beliefs shape the site. Couple profiles give room to introduce both partners. Singles can say what they are curious about and what they need to feel comfortable. And our articles cover the conversations that usually decide whether this goes well: raising the idea with your partner, setting boundaries, handling jealousy and staying safe.
The word "unicorn"
We use the word because it is how people describe this kind of dating and how they search for it. It began as a joke about how rare a single bisexual woman happy to date a couple was supposed to be. Some people find it affectionate, others dislike it. We use it with a clear meaning: a single person who chooses to date a couple, on her own terms. We do not think a third should be expected to fit neatly around a couple's wishes, and our guidance says so.
Privacy and discretion
Many members are not ready to tell friends, family or colleagues about this side of their life. We understand. You decide what goes in your profile and which photos you share. You do not have to show your face publicly, and you can keep identifying details private until you trust someone. The site runs in your browser, so there is no app icon on your phone. Our safety page has practical advice on protecting your privacy.
Safety and honesty
Any site where adults meet each other has to deal with fake profiles and people who behave badly. We take reports seriously and encourage members to report anything that looks wrong. We also give practical advice so members can protect themselves: chat first, have a video call, meet in public, tell a friend, and never send money to anyone. Some members choose to verify their identity, and verified profiles are marked so you can see who has done so.
We would rather tell you honestly that you need to use common sense than pretend any site can guarantee every account is genuine. No dating platform can. What we can do is make reporting easy, act on reports, and help you recognise the warning signs. Our article on red flags covers them in detail.
How we compare with other sites
There are many places to look for a third: broad open-minded apps, swinger networks, threesome apps and other unicorn sites. Each has strengths. We have written honest comparisons with the best-known ones, including Feeld, 3Fun, SDC and Bicupid, so you can choose what suits you. Our comparisons hub lists them all.
Membership
You can create a profile and look around before deciding whether to upgrade. Paid memberships unlock more of the site. Every option, with its length and price, is listed on our pricing page, so you can see exactly what you would pay before you choose.
Getting started
Signing up takes a few minutes. Choose whether you are a man, a woman, a couple or CD/trans, add some details and a photo, and write a few lines about what you are looking for. If you are a couple, write it together. If you are single, say what you are curious about and what matters to you. Then browse, message people whose profiles interest you, and take things one step at a time. Our how it works page walks through each step.
A note from us
Unicorn dating can be wonderful: new friendships, exciting evenings, and for some people a relationship they never expected. It can also be complicated, and that is fine. Go gently, talk honestly, look after each other and look after yourself. If you do that, you are far more likely to have the kind of experience you hoped for.
Questions people often ask us
Is Unicorn Dates only for women joining couples?
No. Single women are the classic "unicorn", but single men, trans and CD members are welcome too, and many couples say in their profiles that they would like to meet a single man.
Do we need experience?
Not at all. Many couples and singles here are trying this for the first time. Our articles are written with beginners in mind.
Can we use the site just to talk for now?
Yes. Plenty of members chat for weeks before meeting, and some simply enjoy talking with people who understand. There is never any obligation to meet.
Where is Unicorn Dates available?
Anyone can sign up, and most members live in the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland.
