Singles ditch dating apps for in-person events
Dating app burnout is pushing more singles toward speed-dating nights, social mixers and hobby meetups as they look for authentic, face-to-face connections, Agape Matchmaking says.
After years of endless swiping, ghosting and algorithm-driven matchmaking, many singles are stepping away from dating apps in favor of in-person social events as frustration with online dating continues to grow, according to Agape Matchmaking. From speed-dating nights to hobby-based meetups, organizers say face-to-face gatherings are attracting people looking for more authentic connections than they believe apps can provide.
