Check out our FAQs

Does MeetIRL have "profiles" that I can swipe through or "like"?

No. You meet people in real life at our events, and can see the name and photo of attendees after the event so you can select your matches and chat. You will only see members who you've met already in real life.

What age groups does MeetIRL serve?

Right now, individuals 21-40 can join MeetIRL. The members invited to specific events are typically within 3-5 years of each other for compatibility. We hope to expand to additional age ranges in the future.

Are there fakes, creeps, or married people on MeetIRL?

We verify IDs at the door so you can be sure the name, photo and age of anyone you might match with on MeetIRL is real. Though we can't guarantee everyone at our events is single, we do ask for confirmation before each event RSVP.

Does Meet IRL have LGBTQIA+ Events?

Yes! We have both straight and LGBTQIA+ events. Just let us know your gender expression and who you are trying to meet during signup, and you'll be invited to events that match your preferences.

Can I bring a friend to MeetIRL events?

Because the attendees at each event are specifically selected for compatibility, unfortunately we can't accommodate guests at most events. However, we encourage you to refer your single friends to join and there's a chance you'll see them at your next event!

How much does Meet IRL cost?

The price of each event ticket varies depending on the venue and activity.

I signed up. How long until I get my first event invite? How will I receive it?

Due to high demand for new members, it may be a few weeks before you receive your first invite. You'll be notified by email and text when your first invite is ready, with a link to purchase a ticket.
