The real-life alternative to Her and Lex — lesbian and bi women’s singles events across Australia
If you’ve seen every profile in your city twice, it might be time to log off. Merge’s lesbian and bi women’s events bring women together at a good venue for a relaxed night out — easy icebreakers, good company, and chemistry you can’t get through a screen.
About Lesbian & Bi Women's Singles Events
Her and Lex were built for queer women. So was Merge Dating — just offline.
The problem with apps, for lesbian and bi women especially, is the pool. A relatively small dating pool, filtered through an algorithm, showing you the same profiles week after week. Conversations that sparkle online and fizzle in person. The exhaustion of performing a version of yourself through a bio and a photo set.
Merge creates a different kind of space. Every woman in the room is single, interested in meeting other women, and there because she chose to be. We pick venues that feel right — not loud bars, not function rooms. Just a good night out.
Hosts break the ice so nothing feels forced, then step back. Trans women welcome. Bi and queer women welcome. No script required — just show up and be yourself.
Merge is for lesbian and bi women who want to meet someone special — not just a swipe and a hookup. That’s the key difference from apps and the bar scene. Everyone in the room is looking for something real.
Offline, in-person, no algorithm. Every woman in the room is a queer single who chose to be there.
Designed specifically for women who want to meet women — not a mixed event with a queer add-on.
Trans women are women. Bi and queer women are welcome. Full stop.
From arrival to connection – here’s exactly what your evening looks like.
Doors open. Show your ticket, grab a drink, get comfortable. No rush – take your time getting settled in.
The room fills up naturally. Jump into conversation, find a spot at the bar, or let someone come to you. No structure, no pressure.
Your host gets everyone involved with light, easy icebreakers – fun rather than cringe – transforming the energy and creating a great social environment.
For the next couple of hours, the floor is yours. Keep conversations going, start new ones, swap numbers when it feels right.
The official event wraps up. Some people head off, some keep the night going nearby. Whatever happens next is entirely up to you.
Don’t just take our word for it.
"I was so done with Her. Same ten profiles every week, conversations that went nowhere. Tried Merge and remembered what it feels like when chemistry actually happens in person."
Zoe"I'd tried Grindr, Scruff, Taimi — all of them. Nothing comes close to walking into a room and genuinely feeling something. Merge gave me that."

"I'd been on Grindr for three years and met exactly no one worth dating. Came to one Merge event on a whim — met my boyfriend that same night. Still together eight months later."
