Built from lived experience

A space for honest connection

Less guessing. More clarity.

No swiping by accident. No pressure to perform.

A note from the founder

Made by someone who understands the need for a different kind of space.

Common Ground was created by Sanet Britz, a mother to an autistic son and a registered counsellor who works with autistic children and families every day.

It is shaped by the belief that dating can be more direct, sensory-aware, and kind. Because the right connection should not depend on reading between the lines.
