Merge Dating

Founded in Sydney in April 2024, Merge Dating offers real-life events as a fresh alternative to dating apps. Expanding across Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, Gosford and Wollongong, we create relaxed social settings where singles can connect naturally — no speed dating, no questionnaires, just genuine interactions. With life getting busier, we make dating simple: show up, grab a drink, meet new people and maybe find love.

Our friendly hosts facilitate light icebreakers to encourage natural mingling, and we maintain balanced gender ratios for a great experience. Events cater to a variety of singles, including different age groups, LGBTQ+ communities and themed nights. Guided by authenticity, safety and connection, we enforce a strict Code of Conduct to ensure a respectful environment. Ready to meet someone new? Join us at our next event!
