BODA New York - Anti-Dating App Social (Only Love Strangers)

It's official. BODA's rom-com socials have finaally landed in the states.

In the UK, it’s been two and a half glorious years of celebrating love in all its many forms. There's been much friendship, laughs, snogs, countless numbers swapped, keys exchanged, friends' holidays planned, engagements, babies and incredible connections formed. Whether it’s a romantic relationship or a pal for life, we’re so excited about the impact BODA as been having in this chaotic, wild climate of dating.

We've been making dating slower, more intentional, more meaningful and more healthy; giving the kiss of life back into dating - making sure your love life is as fruitful, fun and beautiful as it can be.

Our wholesome socials have been described as positive for single people’s mental health, something we’re really proud of, so come for great vibes & lovely people.

As we have such a huge guest-list for New York, this will only be one of our launches out of five we're having on launch week - we're so excited! 

What to expect:

- Because of the relaxed and safe environment we have cultivated, 95% of our attendees come solo, so if you find yourself being the only single one in your friendship group, please don't miss out on this social because you're not bringing a pal along. Come solo! You'll be in great company

- We have set out from the beginning that we never wanted our socials to feel like a meat market or competitive. We wanted them to feel relaxed, warm, inclusive, fun, unpretentious and friendly, and this is tangible at a BODA social. This is part in due to our incredible hosts who will look after you on the night and make sure you feel so comfortable and safe. Our hosts are there for YOU. So feel free to call on them at any point. They are there to be a friend and make the best wingmen and wing women if you’d like any intros to anyone

- A room where everyone is single. That's one of the only rules we have - you must be single to enter in. This is our singles club. A space free of couples, families, kids - a place just for us to let our hair down and be with like-minded people. Note: this particular social is for people in their 20s, 30s and 40s

- A 'Dutch Courage' shot on the house (totally optional, so don't worry if this isn't your thing) along with a BODA mindful icebreaker, to do with someone you don't know in the room 

- Our community-feel events attract a room full of brilliant people who appreciate slower, healthier, kinder approach to dating over the fast & furious modern dating climate singles are up against

Essential need-to-know bits:

- As long as you're over 21, EVERYONE IS WELCOME, whatever your sexuality or gender

- We cannot control the level of ratios on the night (men to women, women to women, men to men etc), so please do bear this in mind when booking a ticket. We do however try very hard to get a great, wide mix of ages, genders and sexualities, as we want everyone to have a fantastic night. Remember, BODA is as much about single people making friends & being community as it is romance 

- Feel free to ask us any questions through this or follow us on Instagram to get a feel for our socials : @boredofdatingapps

- Because of the nature of this event, there are no refunds or transfers. Ticket holders can only sell ticket on if the person shares the same gender on the ticket

Our hosts & cupids can't wait to meet you! See you there for good times.
