Come in and have a Natter

Online chat that feels like a proper natter

Natter is a chat site for adults 18+: live chat rooms, one-to-one messages and group chats, made for people who would rather talk than swipe. Pop into a room, say hello, and take the conversation private when you click with someone.

Some evenings you want company without leaving the house. Some evenings you want to meet someone new. Natter is built for both. The rooms are moderated, and nobody minds if you start with a simple "evening all, how's everyone doing?"

Plenty of Natter members are single, too, and a good chat often turns into a date. If you only want friends to talk to, that's fine. If you're hoping for romance, you're in good company. Your profile says what you're after, so nobody has to guess.

From hello to a proper chinwag in four steps

1. Join free. Pick who you would like to meet, add a photo and a line or two about yourself. It takes a couple of minutes.
2. Say hello in a room. Drop into a chat room, read the mood for a minute, then jump in. Our how to chat guides help if you are rusty.
3. Take it private. When someone makes you laugh, send them a message and carry on one-to-one.
4. Meet when you are ready. Some chats stay chats; some become dates. Read our chat safety advice before you meet anyone.

Why join Natter?

Let's be honest: it's harder than it used to be to meet new friends and singles out and about, and much easier to strike up a conversation online. Natter gives that conversation a friendly home.

Members have profiles, the rooms are moderated, it's strictly 18+, and people come here to talk. If someone is chatting with you on Natter, chances are they're here for the same reasons you are: to share common interests and get to know someone new.

You stay in control the whole time. Your real name and email are never shown to other members, you decide who you message, and you can block anyone instantly. Fill up your natter box with people you like talking to, and leave the rest.
