You've been ahead of this for a while. The company behind Tinder and Hinge is now taking its in-person dating events overseas. In the UK, the average time spent on dating apps has slipped from almost four hours a month in 2023 to three in 2025. And nearly half of UK singles say it has never been harder to connect with people.
In our latest Cheeky Thoughts, we dig into the numbers behind the move back to the room, why more singles than ever are writing partner checklists (34%, up from 25% in 2021), and why 42% of our matches still land outside the type people describe before they meet anyone.

Find your city →Thanksgiving was the original in-person event: one table, real conversation, and nobody swiping under it. Somewhere along the way, dating moved onto a screen. This year, a lot of people are moving it back, and the people reading this got there first.
The Match Guarantee is back for November. Attend any standard MyCheekyDate event this month, walk away with at least one mutual match, and we'll welcome you back to your next event, on us. No drawing. No selective invites. Once you've matched and spotted another event you fancy, just email info@mycheekydate.com and we'll make it so.
Most of the industry invites back the guests who didn't match. We do the opposite: we reinvest in the chemistry that already sparked, because rooms get better when they're filled with people others genuinely want to meet.
When does CheekyTurkey end? Unlike our ghost, this bird keeps a schedule. The 35% off runs through Cyber Monday, November 30. After that, the turkey's carved.
We've always believed in rewarding kindness, engagement, and genuine chemistry. The Cheeky Promise isn't only about matches. It's about understanding: when you need to reschedule, when something comes up last minute, or when it's just not your night. At our core, we're a kindness-first company.
