More dating ideas

Beach date

When you’re confident the time is right to see your new flame in swimmers, it will be time for an important milestone in Sydney dating – a beach date. Try Nielsen Park – this secluded harbour beach is one of the most relaxing stretches of sand in Sydney. With a great kiosk, plenty of shade and gentle waves, you and your date will be miles away.

Picnic lunch date

If you’re both city workers, spending your lunch break in the Botanical Gardens is a perfect romantic respite from the hectic CBD. Choose one of the cafes or bring a packed lunch and enjoy the birds, bees, trees and flowers.

Movie date… with a twist

In summer Sydney luxuriates in one of most romantic ways to see a flick: the outdoor cinema. Whether in a local park or at Mrs Macquarie’s Chair overlooking the harbour, romance will be in the air. Bring a rug, wine and cheese. (Don’t forget insect repellent!)

If it’s raining, try the Dendy, Govinda’s, the Randwick Ritz or the Chauvel Paddington for a more individual cinema experience.

Clubbing date

If clubbing is your scene, Sydney is an incredible place for it. With regular nights every day of the week, you’ll find matches for all tastes, from mainstream to indie, gay, retro, alternative, underground and disco.

Dinner date

Some of the greatest chefs in the world call Sydney home, and it’s no surprise with restaurants such as Tetsuya’s, Bilson’s, Porteño, Est. and Rockpool. And you don’t have to spend a fortune for a good meal either – Chinatown, Flemington and Cabramatta boast authentic, fresh food for a steal, and many a local pizza restaurant turns out high-quality, affordable nosh.

"Neither of us had done anything like this before - eHarmony was the first time we ventured into online dating. After completing the profile questionnaire we began to receive and review matches sent to us by eHarmony, and both found this to be quite exciting. I had only been on the site for two weeks before Paul caught my eye. Paul was my first and last date! We now live together in Sydney and the rest, as they say, is history!"
