What does NSA actually mean?
NSA stands for no strings attached: sex or flirting between consenting adults with no commitment, no exclusivity and no expectation of a relationship. It doesn’t mean no rules. It means everyone knows it’s for fun.
NSA
No strings at all. Once, or now and then when you’re both in the mood. Nobody owes anybody more than good manners.
Friends with benefits
A friendship with sex in it. More familiar and more regular, so it takes a little more care when one of you wants to change things.
A hookup
One night, one meeting. Often NSA by default, but say so anyway: assumptions are where feelings get hurt.
Say it in your profile, save everyone time
- Put “NSA” or “no strings” in the first line, so nobody’s guessing
- Say what you’re open to, what you’re not, and how often you’re free
- Single, in an open relationship or part of a couple? Say that too
- Use recent photos that show you at your most confident. A little tease beats showing everything
- Pick your interests when you sign up; they shape who you’re matched with
No strings, still good manners
- Be upfront earlySay it’s NSA before you meet, not after. A clear “just for fun” is attractive; a surprise isn’t.
- First drink somewhere publicA busy bar is perfect: you get to flirt, read the chemistry and leave easily if it isn’t there.
- Consent at every stepAgreeing to a drink isn’t agreeing to anything else. Ask, listen and take a no gracefully. Either of you can change your mind at any point.
- Protection, alwaysCondoms with every new partner, and regular testing if you’re seeing more than one person.
- Aftercare, NSA-styleNo strings doesn’t mean no kindness. A quick “thanks, that was fun”, and an honest answer if they ask about round two.
- If feelings turn upIt happens. Say so kindly and early, and respect the answer either way.

NSA dating: your questions
What does NSA mean on a dating site?
NSA stands for “no strings attached”: casual sex or flirting between consenting adults, with no commitment, no exclusivity and no expectation of a relationship. Honesty, respect and consent still apply.
Is NSA the same as a hookup?
Close, but not quite. A hookup is usually one night; NSA can be one night or something you repeat now and then, still without strings. Friends with benefits adds a friendship to the mix. Whatever you call it, say it plainly so nobody’s guessing.
How do I find NSA dates without the games?
Put “NSA” or “no strings” in the first line of your profile, say what you’re open to, and chat briefly before suggesting a drink somewhere public. Daily match suggestions and, on VIP, filters by city, distance and what each person is open to make it quicker.
Is NSA dating safe?
It can be, with a few habits: meet somewhere public first, tell a friend where you’re going, use protection with every new partner and never send money to someone you haven’t met. Our dating safely guide covers consent, sexual health and scams.
Can I date NSA if I’m in a relationship?
Only if your partner knows and is happy with it, as in an open relationship. No strings doesn’t mean no honesty: NSA isn’t a cover for cheating, and this site isn’t the place for it.
How much does it cost?
Nothing to join. Free members get a profile, browsing, daily suggestions and a few messages a day. For unlimited messaging and the filters, VIP starts at $19.99 a week in the US and VIP Plus at $22.99 a week, shown in your own currency (USD, GBP, CAD or AUD). Every plan is on our prices page.
