In today’s swipe-heavy dating culture, the idea of meeting someone “organically” – without apps, algorithms, or endless messaging – might feel like a bit of a fantasy. But we promise, it’s not! At The Matchmaker UK, we believe there’s still something wonderfully authentic about connecting in the real world, and we’re here to offer some helpful tips on how to make it happen – with a little guidance from our expert matchmakers and date coaches, of course.
What Does “Meeting Organically” Actually Mean?
Simply put, meeting someone organically means forming a connection naturally – through everyday interactions, shared interests, or chance encounters – rather than through online platforms. It’s about letting chemistry build in a more traditional, and often more meaningful, way.
Whether it’s striking up a conversation at a local coffee shop, chatting at a friend’s dinner party, or bonding over a shared love of books at a local club, these real-world encounters can be both refreshing and rewarding.
5 Top Tips for Meeting Someone Organically
- Say Yes More Often
Be open to invitations, even if they take you out of your comfort zone. A last-minute social event, a friend’s birthday gathering, or a weekend volunteering opportunity might be just the place you meet someone interesting. - Pursue Your Passions
Join clubs, groups or classes that align with your interests – think yoga, language classes, running groups or even wine-tasting evenings. Shared passions make for natural conversation starters and genuine connections. - Be Present and Approachable
Put your phone away. Make eye contact. Smile. Sometimes the smallest gestures can signal openness and create the perfect opportunity for someone to approach you – or for you to start a chat yourself. - Practise Your Social Confidence
Being comfortable striking up small talk with strangers – whether in a queue, at the gym, or on your commute – is a skill worth developing. You never know where a simple “hello” could lead. - Make the First Move
Don’t be afraid to initiate. If someone catches your eye or seems friendly, a light comment or question is a great way to break the ice. Confidence is attractive – and it’s absolutely okay to show interest first.
