Dating Apps Not Included: 15 tips to improve your chances of meeting someone IRL in 2025
The New Year is upon us and with it comes Dating Sunday, the busiest time of the year on the dating apps. But let’s be real: if you’re like many of my clients, friends, and me, you’re so over the apps. Whether you’ve deleted them for good or have paused on the swipe...
Why Did We Start OnLove Xperiences?
Fate brought us together over failed dating experiences
WE ARE SICK OF DATING CULTURE
AND DECIDED TO MAKE A CHANGE
It all started because of a canceled date.
It was the Chicago Bears season opener, and Anita’s date canceled last minute (of course!). She had two options: stay home and watch the game alone or go to a local bar to enjoy it with other fans. Needless to say, the bar won. What she hadn’t anticipated, was three hours later she would walk out as the host of a singles’ party in just a few short weeks.
Just a few days later, Nick (who shares a neighborhood with Anita) walked into the same bar and saw the event advertisement. As a single guy who refuses to use dating apps, he thought this would be a great way to meet people, and that promoting it would encourage people to meet in real life.
Nick followed Anita on social. Anita joined Nick’s podcast (Eyes Wide Open w/ Nick Thompson) to discuss dating culture. And the rest is history.
The first singles’ party was a smashing success. It attracted over 250 singles and produced several first dates (and a few new couples ☺️). The event proved that there is a need for more real-life single experiences designed to help people meet the old-fashioned way.
On Love X was created to help singles get off the f’n apps and find their person in real life.
