Why I started Dating IRL

Like many people, I found myself feeling frustrated by modern dating. Endless swiping, conversations that went nowhere, and wondering why it seemed harder than ever to make a genuine connection.

The more I talked to other people, the more I realised I wasn't alone. So many people wanted to meet someone naturally but didn't know where to start.

That's how Dating IRL was born.

My vision is simple: to create relaxed, welcoming events where people can meet face-to-face, enjoy real conversations, and build genuine connections—without the pressure.
