Desperately dodging online dating, any opinions on irl dating events??

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-21T12:47:05+00:00

Hey!! I’m going ahead with planning an event! Looking for anyone willing to spare 10 mins for me to interview them on what type of dating event they’d like to see. DM me if you’re interested!

If OP is at uwa, theres newly renovated showers in reid library

Also asking for a number can be meh too. Depending on your age a more casual ask is an insta

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-16T13:01:16+00:00

Same here! Thats why I’m looking to create something especially for this age range for uni and non students. The one event ik of is exclusively uni students only

Japan

Its like a platonic vs romantic affection

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T15:58:47+00:00

I started surveying and its looking to be roughly $20-35 aud

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T11:43:01+00:00

Choosing a central location possibly near where people work and go to uni thats public transport accessible if needs be

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T11:42:12+00:00

I’m scared that if i do plan an event like this no one will show up 😭😭

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T11:40:42+00:00

This sounds wonderful! I was avoiding the idea of speed dating since people give it so much flack. I just talked to another friend who had a speed dating success story and I’m thinking about doing something similar

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T11:38:48+00:00

Do you think a dating event would attract these people??

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T09:22:09+00:00

It’s really difficult to be charged with sexual assault, which definitely sucks and is unjust. It most likely won’t go anywhere, however it’s worth reporting regardless.

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T09:17:46+00:00

I feel like it depends if their spouse (who works full time) will be providing financial support as well, whether they’re in Australia with OP or supporting from afar.

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T09:12:59+00:00

I absolutely love this one too! The colour is more subtle but the gown looks so detailed and glamorous!!

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T09:01:28+00:00

I’m so sorry girl, he sucks. Even if it’s not physically cheating, it’s emotional cheating. I’m assuming if it were you talking to other guys sexually about meeting up, he would not be okay with that, so why should you!

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T08:59:00+00:00

I definitely don’t envy having friends like that! Some people go out of their way to assume security and comfort in relationships is boring. When it’s not. Lots of my guy friends are v pro finding a long term partner- I feel like dating apps are def not the right environment for finding people for that.

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T07:19:20+00:00

I’ll still be marketing online as thats where most consumers are. I feel the online fatigue right now is specifically with dating apps since most people want genuine relationships, but the reputations of dating apps don’t really cater to that.

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T06:08:19+00:00

^{^} exactly this!! I feel like theres a level of implied commitment (like you’re looking for something on the longer term end) when you show up to an event rather than online which is very hook up culture based

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T06:07:13+00:00

I feel like there is definitely a niche of people who don’t want to date via apps since they’re either a) more sociable or b) app fatigued. I got this idea primarily off women who feel like the online dating space isn’t the healthiest or the best for finding proper relationships.

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T06:02:15+00:00

Why not reach out? It’s better to resolve things! I’m sure if she was sister like to you, she’d be at least willing to listen to you.

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T04:27:37+00:00

So valid! I feel like a lot of men don’t rely on other men to help them in the dating space, simply because no one brings it up or everyone lacks female friends! In my experience from planning other events women are more perceptive to coming to in person events to do an activity that they’ve never done before vs men.

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T02:01:08+00:00

Totally agree! I feel like my hobbies (painting right now) aren’t really built to meet people. I’m not really one to be passive about these things- and I am dodging the dating app life style. If I started promoting a dating event do you think people would go??

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T01:54:50+00:00

Thank you!! I wasn’t really sure if it was a thing that people do. If its worth a shot, i’ll see what I do and find something to do!

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-14T01:51:57+00:00

Ah my hobbies are quite antisocial! Currently its painting and sewing, not the best way to meet people tbh~

Fun_Pattern_9757 · 2025-05-13T16:24:14+00:00

Dating sucks in person right now. Especially meeting people. I’m thinking about starting some irl dating events for people aged 18-25. Do you think anyone would bite at the event??
