Dating in Cardiff, realistically

Most first dates in Cardiff start somewhere public and low-pressure — a coffee, a walk, a drink somewhere you can hear each other.
Conversations in Cardiff do better when the first message references something specific from the profile rather than a generic opener.

- Keep early chat with Cardiff matches on the platform until you have a reason to move it elsewhere.
