About this Event

Tired of watching your favourite human get lost in the dating noise?

Same. That’s why we created Date My Mate — a night where legends bring legends, and real connection takes centre stage.

👉 I’ve got a mate

👉 Tell me more

👉 I might be the mate


💘 What is Date My Mate?

It’s part matchmaking event, part love letter to the amazing humans in our lives.

You know that friend who’s funny, thoughtful, the first to show up and the last to give up?

The one who should be drowning in great dates — but the apps just don’t get them?

That’s who this is for.

Date My Mate is where you step up as their Wing Person — not to “fix” their love life, but to help the world see what you already know:

👉 They’re a total catch.

👉 They just need the right room.


Let’s be real — dating is hard, even for the good ones

It’s not about effort. Or looks. Or charm.

Sometimes, it’s just about being seen in a world full of distractions and dodgy DMs.

So we’re rewriting the rules.

Date My Mate is a no-cringe, no-algorithm, no-pressure kind of night — where every single guest is there because someone believes in them.

And trust us — that energy? It’s electric.


🧠 How it works:

For Singles: Bring your most fun and social friend to back you up! They'll be there to help introduce you to potential matches, keep things fun, and maybe even spot chemistry before you do.

For Wing People: You know your friend better than anyone else—now's your chance to help them shine! You'll be right by their side, easing any nerves, making introductions, and making sure they have a fantastic time. Plus, everyone at the event has a Wing Person, so you're not just playing matchmaker—you're part of the action, too!

Why join us?

For Singles: It's dating, but with backup! No pressure, just a night of great company, good vibes, and maybe the start of something special.

For Wing People: Be the ultimate support system, while also having a fun night out. 

✨ No swiping.

✨ No pickup lines.

✨ No weird forced mingling.

Just genuine humans, real vibes, and maybe a few unexpected sparks.Who we are

We’re Wing People — a human connection agency that usually works with companies to make networking less awkward and more meaningful.

But when we looked at the state of modern dating?

We saw an opportunity to bring the same magic to the world of love.

Date My Mate is our community-powered take on connection — one where you get to play Cupid, and where good people finally get their moment.


👇 Want to help your favourite person meet their favourite person?

Come to Date My Mate.

🎯 Be the Wing Person

❤️ Nominate a mate

👀 Or get matched (no shame, just game)

✨ It’s connection-first dating for people who deserve better.
ps - as this is our first time running this event in Scotland- it is currently aimed at hetrosexual couples with a single attendee age range of (30 plus - although this is a guide and not set in stone). As we run more of these we are committed to running more inclusive events with the care and attention they deserve. Wing People can be any age.
