Next Dating, operated by GDM and/or its affiliates, is an online social network for adults seeking conversation and connection with people nearby. Users can register for free, create an account and explore profiles, including a featured monthly ranking of singles. The platform offers profile discovery, multi-criteria direct messaging, private chat and interaction features such as matching, with some services available through paid subscriptions.

Its purpose is online communication and entertainment: the company states that it is not a counselling or matchmaking service and does not arrange in-person meetings. The terms also explain that some interactions may involve clearly identified AI profiles, which are digital profiles designed to simulate conversation and are not real people. Registration is limited to people aged 18 or older with the capacity to accept the service terms and a valid email address.

GDM says registration information may be used to suggest profiles matching a member’s personality and may be shared with partners for that purpose
