Yes — and it's actually becoming a trend again. For a while, apps felt like the only way in. But more and more singles are looking for other, more direct ways to meet people that don't start behind a screen.
What apps changed
They made meeting people more accessible, but also more impersonal: filtered profiles, conversations that drag on, matches that never turn into anything. More contacts, not always better connections.
Organized events as a way out
Speed dating, group activities, singles outings — these formats existed long before apps and are making a comeback. They let you meet several people in one evening, no written back-and-forth required first.
In practice: just sign up for an event, show up, and let the meeting happen naturally — the way it used to work, just organized to make it easy.
Curious about speed dating?
Meet singles who would rather see each other in real life than chat forever.
