The dating app that's different: It's offline.
It’s safe to say online dating has very much solidified itself into the world of romance. Pretty much everyone who’s single has got at least one downloaded (if not more) - and that’s not going to change.
But how much do they actually work? Swiping has almost become a pastime, and knowing whether someone there to kill a few hours or genuinely keen for a date is almost impossible.
Enter The Inner Circle, the online to offline dating app that wants to banish swiping forever and get you meeting in real life as soon as possible.
They’ve totally torn apart the typical dating event, and in it's cliche, slightly cringe-worthy place they have thrown some wicked parties in venues all over the world. One of their most recent ones kicked off at Century Club, Soho, and saw members transformed into a night inspired by the bright lights of Tokyo.
Members enjoyed mingling over tonnes of delicious food, flirting over cocktails or learning how to pull pints, and they were even able to challenge one another to some timeless games found in the neon lit games room. The events always provide some kind of entertainment, so you don’t need to worry about awkward silences or not getting to know anyone.
They’re so good that The Inner Circle’s head of events has actually been awarded industry leader.
But they don't stop here in their attempt to get you offline. They have a member-curated list of perfect date venues, all tried-and-tested to ensure they actually are suitable for dating in. The best thing is, you can find out who likes going to the same places as you and just message them directly to meet… its online dating, but 10x easier and quicker.
Oh, and they even have a list of bars where they’ll give you a free drink.
Basically, dating apps are pretty much all the same. But if you want to try something totally different and skip the online part all together, this app is the answer (and they are convinced it’s working).
