A social mixer for app-fatigued daters
£20–35
If you are tired of swiping and want something more intentional, Bored of Dating Apps (BODA) is built as an antidote to the apps. They run regular mixers in bars (and sometimes bookshops) where there is some light structure to help conversations start but enough freedom that it still feels relaxed. It attracts 20s to 30s professionals who are serious enough to show up, but not looking for anything too formal. While smaller events can feel more intimate, you will have fewer people to meet so try one of their larger events if it is your first time.
