Dating in the times of Tinder can be daunting; you’re inundated with swipes, matches and so many options. Though it’s become a convenience more than anything, there are people out there you’re still old-school when it comes to dating. Think meeting someone, sparks flying and so on and so forth.
For this and this reason alone, we’ve rounded up the real-life dating groups that you can sign up for meeting new people via their offline events.
One of the first ones in the city to start the dating and match-making website, Footloose No more organises really fun meet-ups regularly for singles.
They have a really simple policy: every individual is taken seriously, and dealt with according to their likes and preferences. Their signing process is extensive as well so they can get a sense of what exactly you’re looking for. They organise a lot of single mixers across the city, in cool and fun places, and it’s for anyone who’s looking to go beyond their restrictive social circle. And who knows, you may end up meeting your life partner too!
Subscription: They offer 2 types of subscription plans - Free and Premium Options. You can choose from 1, 3, 6 and 12-month options from INR 1,750.
SpeedCoffee identifies itself as a classy, dating and matchmaking group. If you’re single in the city, busy with work, and don’t really know where to meet other singles, that’s where they step in.
First up, you need to register on their website, with photos, information and everything else. As they organise fun meet-ups, speed dating events, you’ll get invited to those based on your preference and likes. There is one small but a unique caveat with them: you only meet people who are our mutual match. That is, similar to Tinder, at the dating event if you’ve marked ticked on the scorecard for someone, they need to have marked a tick against you too for it to be a mutual match. Post that, you’ll be given the person’s email id.
Subscription: Each event has a screening process and all events are by invite only. There is no application fee.
