What shall I wear on a date?

Definitely make an effort, but don't look like you're trying too hard. A tricky contradiction we know, but the balance is definitely there to be found. You've got to let your true personality shine through, so don't be worried about showing your character. However, we suggest avoiding being too out there; no matter how many times we've all been told not to, we all judge a book by its cover, to a degree. Confused? No need to be, just wear what makes you happy and confident.

Who pays on the date?

We think you should split the bill - paying for each other is a nicer way to think of it than paying for yourself. We figure if this is clear from the start it avoids all awkwardness.

How honest should I be?

You should always be honest on your profile, but that doesn't mean you have to volunteer all sorts of information that could prove embarrassing in the future. Just say it how it is and try and keep it fairly succinct. People like a little mystery.

Do you organise events, as well as dates?

We certainly do. We love nothing more than a good shindig. Our Launch Party was a masked soirée, to get the 'ball' rolling. There is always a fun theme and a game to break the ice. We hold them every couple of months at least, roughly: Christmas Mistletoe, Valentine's Kisses, Easter Egg Hunt, Solstice Barbeque, Carnival Chaos and Trick or Treat. Visit our events page to see what we've got coming up!

For the online service

How much does it cost?

We have a special offer on at the moment so Sitting in a Tree is free to use.

How do I delete my profile?

Simple again, go to your privacy settings page and follow the instructions.

What if I meet someone I like, what happens to my membership?

You can let people know by visiting your privacy settings page and following the instructions. This means that you won't be able to contact other members and they won't be able to get in touch with you either. Your membership keeps going, so that if it doesn't work out you can get straight back into the game!

What if I meet someone who isn’t anything like their profile?

Tell us immediately, please. We are very discreet and we won't say you spilled the beans, we'll come up with a reason why they need to make their profile a truer reflection of who they are and if they don't do it, we'll oust them from the Tree.

What if I meet someone really unpleasant?

Tell us straight away, please. Really, don't delay it. People like that aren't allowed in here and we'll come up with a way to get rid of them. The sanctity of the forest is very important to us.

I joined for a laugh, but I actually met someone great. Such a lovely surprise! Lucy Stark, 26, psychologist
