Every alcohol-free dater faces the same question sooner or later: when do you tell someone you do not drink? We are asking Sober Singles members exactly that. This page explains the question we are putting to the community and, just as importantly, how we will report the answers.
We are putting one plain question to Sober Singles members: when do you disclose your sobriety when dating? The response options are:
Sober Singles is a dating site for people building relationships without alcohol at the centre. If that is you, you are welcome to join.
Join Sober SinglesThis page previously showed a chart giving a percentage for how many members disclose their sobriety on their profile. That figure was sample content created when the site was built rather than a member survey result, and it has been removed.
How we will report the results
When enough members have answered, the results will appear here with the full method attached. That means the number of people who responded, the dates the survey ran, and the raw count behind every percentage rather than a bare figure. We will state plainly that respondents are self-selected members of one community, not a representative sample of everyone who dates alcohol-free. We will not weight the numbers to make them look tidier, and any answer with too few responses to mean anything will be left out rather than stretched into a headline.
Why this matters on a sober dating site
Sober daters are asked to trust dating platforms with something personal, a lifestyle choice that shapes how, and who, they meet. When we do have real answers, you will be able to see exactly where they came from, which is the only basis on which a number like this is worth reading.
