Date My Mate Edinburgh
The ultimate in-person dating event you don’t have to go to alone
Most dating events are awkward.
Or so we’ve heard.
Standing around with a drink.
Forced icebreakers.
Pretending you’re having fun while silently planning your escape.
Hard no.
That’s exactly why we created Date My Mate.
The dating event where nobody has to show up alone and no one is left to fend for themselves.
This is dating, but human.
And with backup.
Choose Your Role
🎯 Wing Person (not dating)
❤️ Single (bring a Wing Person)
🦄 Wingles (two singles supporting each other)
You decide how you show up.
We take care of the rest.
💘 What Is Date My Mate?
Part matchmaking event.
Part love letter to the incredible humans in our lives.
You know that friend who is funny, thoughtful, kind.
The one who shows up.
The one who deserves great dates but somehow keeps getting overlooked by the apps.
That’s who this night is for.
Date My Mate is where you step up as a Wing Person.
Not to fix anyone.
Not to sell anyone.
Just to help the room 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.
It’s not about looks.
It’s not about charm.
Sometimes it’s just about being seen in a world full of noise, ghosting, and dodgy DMs.
So we’re rewriting the rules.
Date My Mate is no-cringe and no-pressure.
Everyone is there because someone believes in them.
And that energy?
It’s electric.
So How Does This Actually Work?
🎯 Bringing A Mate (Wing Person)
You are not on the dating market.
You are there to:
-
support your single friend
-
make warm, human introductions
-
hype them up
-
enjoy the night without being “available”
Wing People can be any age.
Any relationship status.
Your only job is to help your mate shine.
Your Wing Person might be your best friend, your sibling, your work wife or husband, your happily partnered mate, or anyone who knows your dating lore and is ready to hype you up.
❤️ Coming As A Single (With A Wing Person)
You are on the dating market.
You:
-
bring a Wing Person who is not dating
-
get help with introductions
-
never have to work the room alone
It’s dating.
With someone in your corner.
🦄 Coming As Wingles ( A Single Wing Person)
You are both single.
And you are each other’s Wing Person.
Wingles show up together and hype each other up.
That means:
-
you back them
-
they back you
-
you help make introductions for each other
You can stick together.
Split up.
Re-group.
✨ You are never awkwardly alone
✨ You are always supported
✨ You move at your own pace
Wingles are not a fallback option.
They are a power move.
✨ What Makes This Different?
✨ No swiping
✨ No pickup lines
✨ No forced mingling
✨ No awkward icebreakers
Just real humans.
Real vibes.
And a few unexpected sparks.
Everyone is there on purpose.
Everyone belongs.
