Jess Evans founded Bored Of Dating Apps (BODA) after disillusionment with online dating experiences. Following a disappointing breakup, she organized a dating event in February 2022, which attracted over 200 singles. BODA has since expanded to London, Manchester, and New York, and offers a refreshing alternative to app-based dating, emphasizing face-to-face interactions. Many participants leave feeling uplifted, having met like-minded individuals. Notably, Evans even found her fiancé through the events. This trend reflects a growing discontent with dating apps, particularly among Gen Z, leading to significant declines in app usage.
Even if they haven't met someone romantically, people go home feeling so much better. They're like, oh my goodness, I can't believe how many amazing single people there are.
What I found there was just your usual string of disappointing experiences. It was just one disheartening experience after the next.
