Meeting someone new in your 20s (Dating edition)

Being in your 20s is funny.

One minute, you’re meeting people easily through classes, CCAs and friends of friends.

And the next, you’re stuck at your desk. Same job, same people and the same routine.

Your social circle shrinks in a blink. Meeting new people gets harder and harder. And meeting someone around your age, who’s also single, who you actually click with?

Okay, now we’re asking for a lot. 😭

But it doesn’t have to stay this way.

“I want to meet new people”

Same! But how?

Lucky for you, there are plenty of socials and communities to explore.

Instead of spending your Saturday scrolling on your phone, sign up for that pottery class, matcha run, run club or book club. Give yourself a real chance to meet people instead of watching everyone else’s stories and thinking, “That could have been me.”

You can also be the one to organise a Saturday hike, a potluck or a picnic at Marina Barrage. Ask your friends to bring their friends along. iykyk ;)

That is how you meet new people. And it takes effort: getting out of the house and having actual conversations, face to face.

Give yourself a different story to tell

If you’re intentional about meeting like-minded singles who are as curious as you are, welcome to Type Mixers!

At Type, we host IRL dating mixers for singles in their 20s. Our mixers are invite-only, and we look for people who bring good vibes and are open to possibilities.

To spice things up and give you a better chance of clicking with someone, we have a looooong sign-up form. It helps us get to know you and your Type. Got the reference? ;)

From there, we handpick your mystery match: someone we think you’ll click with among the attendees. Then we send you both on a mini blind date before the main mixer.

If you believe in Cupid’s magic, take a chance.

Try something new, step out of your comfort zone and come meet the crowd.
