About Great Dates

It All Started With Swipe Fatigue

Hi, yes that’s me with the Mickey ears. I’m Sam, the founder of Great Dates For Singles. It all came about after what felt like an eternity of awful online dating experiences and feeling like I never got out to meet other single people. It felt like singles had become an endangered species never seen out in the wild.

Singles nights didn’t seem to exist anymore and everyone I spoke to was getting swipe fatigue from dating apps. So I set up my own singles nights all designed to get everyone there engaging, chatting, mingling and just generally having a great night out. I roped in my mate Geoff to help out and since then we’ve developed a range of our own unique, fun, nights to help singles get out and about and meeting new people face to face.

But, I also know that some people still like the swiping thing, so because I’m a techie by day, I partnered with an international dating site and developed our own online members’ area, so you can still find people online as well as attending events. And you can even buy a mug, t-shirt and gym water bottle to announce your single status in style from our merchandise shop.

I may not have all the answers to finding the love of your life but at least I can make sure you have a great night out whilst trying to do so.

Happy dating! x
