Meet someone worth the trip down the road.
Brolly is a dating site for single men and women aged 18 to 60 in four areas, not the whole country. Write a proper profile, add your photos, and talk to people who are actually nearby.
Signing up, browsing and liking are free. Messaging your matches is £40.00 a month, cancel any time.
Four areas, properly covered
Dating sites that cover everywhere end up covering nowhere. Here, a match is a short drive or a train ride away, so a first date is easy to say yes to.
Essex
Chelmsford to Southend, Basildon to Colchester.
Dagenham
and the rest of Barking and Dagenham.
Hemel Hempstead
and the villages out towards the Chilterns.
Watford
plus Rickmansworth, Bushey and Abbots Langley.
How Brolly works
Three steps, about three minutes, no swiping for hours.
Make a profile that sounds like you
A few honest lines beat a clever one-liner. Say which area you are in, what your weekends look like and what you are hoping to find. It takes about three minutes and it is free.
Browse men and women near you
Filter by area, age (18 to 60) and who you would like to meet. Everyone here is within a short drive or a train ride, not at the other end of the country.
Like, match, then actually talk
You can only message someone once you have both said yes. Signing up and liking are free; messaging your matches comes with membership at £40.00 a month, cancel any time.

Questions people ask
What does it cost?
Signing up is free: your profile, browsing and likes cost nothing. Full membership, which opens up messaging your matches, is £40.00 a month and you can cancel any time.
Why charge at all?
A monthly price keeps the site small, local and free of adverts. People paying £40 a month are here to meet someone, which is why replies land better than on a free app.
Which areas do you cover?
Essex, Dagenham, Hemel Hempstead and Watford, plus the towns and villages around them. If you are just outside, pick Elsewhere nearby when you sign up.
Who is it for?
Single men and women aged 18 to 60, whether you are after something serious, something easy going, or simply better company on a Saturday.
Do I have to upload a photo?
No, though profiles with a photo get many more replies. You can add or remove yours whenever you like from your profile page.
Can people message me out of the blue?
No. Messages only open once you have both liked each other, so your inbox stays yours.
How do I cancel?
From your membership page, in two clicks. Your profile stays live on the free account, so nothing is lost and you can come back any time.
How do I report someone?
Every profile has a Report link. It goes straight to the team, who can hide a profile from the site while it is looked at.
