About Under 35 Singles Events
Under 35 Singles Events — A Night Out, Not an App
Gen Z and Millennials have been the guinea pigs for every dating app ever built — and most of them are over it. The profiles, the matches that go nowhere, the conversations that fizzle before you’ve even met. There’s a better way, and it’s embarrassingly simple: just be in the same room as someone.
Merge Dating’s under 35 events do exactly that. Great venues — the kind you’d choose anyway — filled with single 20 and 30-somethings who are there to meet someone. Our hosts break the ice, then the night’s yours.
No speed dating, no name tags, no awkward questionnaires.
No Apps. Just Vibes.
Every person in the room is single, in their 20s or early 30s, and actually trying.
Great Venues
We pick places you'd actually want to go out at.
Always Something On
Regular events across multiple locations — always something coming up near you.
Why Choose Merge for Under 35 Singles Events?
- The Antidote to App Fatigue You've tried the apps. Everyone has. They have their place — but you already know there's something missing when you meet people through a screen. Merge puts you in a room full of singles and lets the rest happen.
- Good Bars, Good Crowd We don't do cringe. The venues are legit, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the crowd is there to have a good time. Our hosts keep things easy — no awkward rounds, no buzzers.
- Come Solo, It's Easy Everyone in the room is single and keen. Most people come solo. Just come, grab a drink and see what happens.
