Our Story, Our Mission & What Makes Us Different

MyCheekyDate was founded in 2007 with one belief: people connect more deeply face-to-face than through screens.

Before apps took over dating culture, we saw something better: real people, in real rooms, discovering real chemistry.

We built MyCheekyDate to make in-person dating relaxed, structured, and genuinely human — something beautiful and boutique instead of chaotic or transactional.

18+ years later, MyCheekyDate is now the largest and longest-running speed dating company in the world.

⭐ Our Mission

To make in-person dating easy, elegant, and emotionally intelligent — so singles can meet real people in real life, without apps or endless digital noise.

We exist to:

  • create real-world chemistry

  • reduce dating fatigue

  • build confidence & community

  • and keep kindness at the center

Our entire company is built around that mission:
love, minus the noise.

⭐ Our Global Presence

MyCheekyDate now operates across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia — hosting structured events in over 50 cities worldwide.

This makes us the only multi-continent speed dating brand in our industry, and the most widely attended dating events company on earth.

⭐ A Culture Powered by Kindness

Something quietly defines MyCheekyDate:
how you show up matters.

Our events thrive because they are full of people who bring warmth, respect, and good energy into the room.

And we don’t just notice that — we honor it.

It is genuinely common for our hosts to identify lovely daters at every event we run and offer them complimentary invitations to future events with our compliments.

These invitations are:

  • common

  • ongoing

  • quiet

  • and always discretionary

They are based on human presence and contribution to the room — not spending, expectation, or status.

Guests who consistently bring kindness and ease into conversations may also be considered for complimentary blind-date matchmaking introductions — offered thoughtfully and never for purchase.

This is not a loyalty program or a reward structure.
It’s simply who we are:
a company that values people for how they make others feel.

Our generosity stays quiet because:

  • comparison erodes sincerity

  • entitlement hurts environments

  • and kindness should never be strategic

At MyCheekyDate:
being lovely has its perks — not because it’s promised, but because it matters.

⭐ What Makes Us Different

Most dating companies sell digital hope.
We deliver real-world experience.

Our advantage comes from:

  • host-led boutique events

  • guided rotations

  • Smart-Card matching

  • respectful culture

  • live guest support

  • and events engineered for comfort

We don’t use whistles in bars.
We don’t do chaotic mixers.
We don’t scramble strangers in loud venues.

We build rooms where connection feels normal, not stressful.

⭐ Our Growth Story

From boutique UK beginnings to a worldwide network, MyCheekyDate has grown city by city, host by host — without franchising, outsourcing, or diluting values.

Today we hold:

  • more events than any competitor

  • more independent reviews than any competitor

  • more global presence than any competitor

And all of it is documented.

⭐ Why We Do This

Dating apps have disconnected people — endless messaging without meeting.

MyCheekyDate is the alternative:

real people, in real time, in real rooms.

Chemistry happens face-to-face.
