Dating in 2022: IRL dating is on the rise – and Bumble is getting in on the trend with this London event
3 years ago
The women-first dating app has run a series of London events for daters to meet new people and forge new connections - and here’s your chance to attend the final IRL event of 2022.
When we think of dating in the 2020s, dating apps are often at the heart of it all.
From Bumble to Tinder, Hinge to Plenty Of Fish, many of us have experienced using dating apps, whether for a casual hookup or looking for a serious relationship – and it has shaped a lot of dating experiences for millennials and Gen Zers alike.
But in 2022, we’re beginning to see a new trend emerge – one which goes beyond dating apps and social media sites as people are interested in meeting new people and dating in real life, with singles parties, speed dating events and more leading the way.
With daters more invested in meeting people in person, dating apps are making more of an effort to incorporate this into their business model – and Bumble is the latest to do so.
The women-first dating app has hosted free, IRL dating experiences in London, allowing people to meet their potential new partner in person.
The events, which ran weekly with the finale one taking place 7 December, allow Bumble users to meet like-minded singles in real life at a variety of unique experiences designed to help people find someone they truly vibe with.
The line-up of events includes everything from a flaming cocktail-making workshop ahead of Bonfire Night, to a dog walk and coffee meet-up in Hyde Park for those looking for a dose of puppy love.
