Dating in Bengaluru

First-date ideas in Bengaluru

• Cubbon Park: a shaded walk in the middle of the city; lovely on weekend mornings
• Lalbagh Botanical Garden: gardens and the glasshouse; flower shows around Republic and Independence Day
• Church Street: bookshops, cafés and live music
• Indiranagar: plenty of cafés and restaurants within a short walk
• Koramangala: relaxed cafés for a long conversation
• Nandi Hills sunrise: a drive for a later date once you know each other

Getting there and back

Choose a place on or near the Namma Metro, or meet halfway to beat the traffic. Share your ride after dark.

Staying safe on a first date in Bengaluru

• Meet somewhere public and busy for the first date, and get there on your own.
• Save day trips like Nandi Hills for after a few dates, once you know and trust the person.
• Tell a friend who you're meeting and where. Share your live location if you like.
• Keep the chat on Paire until you're comfortable. Never send money, OTPs or "investment" help to someone you've just met. See common dating scams.

Meeting people in Bengaluru on Paire

Paire shows people near you with an approximate distance (never your exact location). Every member has confirmed their email and passed a live selfie check, every like can carry a note, and seeing who likes you is free. Set your intention, from casual to serious, and turn on same intentions only to see people who want the same thing. Women can accept only likes with a note and choose to message first.
