Casual Encounters — Local Casual Dating Ads
"Casual encounters near me" was one of the most-searched sections on the original Backpage, and it disappeared with the rest of the site in 2018. BackpageSeek's Casual Encounters section brings that kind of city-based browsing back — organized by type (Women Seeking Men, Men Seeking Men, TS/ Transgender, and more) and by location, so you can jump straight to your city instead of filtering through unrelated results.
Browsing Casual Encounters by City
Search demand for city-specific casual encounters spans everywhere from Chicago and New York to Las Vegas, San Diego, Seattle, Houston, San Antonio, Long Island, Boston, Tucson, Phoenix, and New Jersey — and BackpageSeek covers all of them, along with 560+ other cities across the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia. Pick a featured city below or use "See All Cities" to search for anywhere else.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where did Backpage's casual encounters section go?
It closed permanently in 2018 along with the rest of Backpage.com. BackpageSeek is an independently operated replacement with its own dedicated Casual Encounters section.
Is Casual Encounters the same as Personals?
Casual Encounters draws from the same underlying ad types but is organized by city first, which is faster if you already know where you're browsing. Our broader Personals page is organized by type first instead.
Do I need to create an account to browse?
No account is needed to browse listings. You'll need a free account only if you want to post your own ad or message another user.
How can I tell if a listing is genuine?
Look for the verification badge on a poster's profile — it means they've submitted a photo for manual review. Treat unverified listings with normal online caution.
