Ditch The Apps And Nab A Ticket To Our Very Vibey Singles Night
The dating scene is, let’s face it, a bit of a jungle. And if you’re feeling app fatigue and keen to take things back to good old-fashioned IRL chemistry, we hear you.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with our mates at ING for a very special, very fun singles night: Dating on a Dime. Because in a world with rising costs and swipe fatigue, we're swapping small talk for spend talk and redefining what it really means to be a "good match" in 2026.
Looking for love, a new mate or just a great night out? Designed for singles aged 30 to 40, this inclusive event is open to everyone from all walks of life—promising none of the usual cringey stuff you might think of when you hear the words “singles night”. We’re talking less awkward speed dating, more good vibes with excellent conversation potential.

There’ll also be a money-minded twist woven through the night, because let’s be honest, financial compatibility matters. Licensed personal finance creator Queenie Tan will host a series of fun money-themed games and prompts to spark conversations around spending habits and money mindsets, minus the awkward “so, how much debt are you in?”

To really set the mood, Diva Cups, aka Ella Beer and Maria Dimitrakas, will be on DJ duties with their trademark mix of high-energy, joy-first bangers.
One-half of Diva Cups, Maria Dimitrakas, will also host the evening, bringing her warm, funny MC energy to the room.
So, if you’re suffering from app-fatigue and ready to meet someone without forensically studying six blurry photos and one deeply unhelpful bio about “loving long walks on the beach”, this is your sign.
Keen to nab a ticket? Get in quick, because spots are limited and they’re bound to be snapped up.
